Exit polls also show:

-- Among evangelical voters, who made up 73% of the electorate, Huckabee led McCain 40-27%, while among non-evangelicals, McCain led 36-30% over Mitt Romney.

-- Of the 74% who consider themselves Republicans, Huckabee led McCain 36-31%, while Romney fell to third place. Among indies, McCain led Huckabee by just 27-26%.

-- Among the 32% of voters who made their decision today, Huckabee beat McCain 34-31%.

Huck and McCain know how to stir lemmings to their favor. I figure that I’m a lemming in that I choose to never vote McCain.

“At the end of tonight if Huckabee has more delagets than Bishop Willard Myth Romney, will you call on The Myth to drop out?”

Given that most of the states Huckabee has a chance in are Eastern time zone, and the rest are Mountain time zone, I think the results are a bit skewed towards him. Unfortunately for Huckabee all the Southern states are closed, and he won’t even be close in any of the Western or Mountain time zone states.

Is this evidence that southern evangelicals have concerns over Mitt’s faith?

“”TN is the home of the globular-warming god.””

It’s looking good for the carbon credit traders.

McCain/Huckster solidly on board with this financier Enron-esque scam. So are Clinton/Obama.

Let's all start blaming Christians now for Myth Romney's dismal performance.

And more is the pity.

Mitt Dukakis should drop out and endorse Huckabee.

I don’t wear Orange, as I graduated from Ms. State.

However, a lot of posters may think I am joking about the Snake Handlers here. There are many Snake Handler Churches here. Anybody who lives in East Tennessee knows this.

Huck was pimping in the pulpit of Bellevue Baptist Church this past Sunday. I wonder if the late Adrian Rogers would have gave him the pulpit. I attended one Sunday when Rogers noted Bill Frist (who was running for re election at the time) was in the crowd, but did not turn the pulpit over to him.

Huckabee spoke at Bellevue a number of times while Dr. Rogers was still alive. Not as a politician.
