“If it worked, that’d be great. BUT, I don’t foresee Huckabee getting enough delegates to stop McCain, not at this point. The only thing he’ll do is get enough delegates to assure that McCain gets the nomination. And that would be the end of conservatism for the time being.”

Huckabee does not have to stop McCain. What needs to happen is for Huckabee and Romney and possibly Paul to have a total of half plus 1 delegate. No one wins without a majority. Just because there are more than 2 running does not change the rules that a majority is required to win.

So, a candidate needs not just more delegates than another candidate, but a majority of the total number? Now, that changes things......or hopefully will.

Sorry to doubt you, JR. You were right.
