McLiberal...the Bizarro World Barry Goldwater Senator from Arizona who will lose 49 states.
Looks like Huck will win Missouri as well. Good nite for Huck. So far, a bad night for Mitt.
If Huckabee were to pull off a win in MO, to go along with WV, GA, TN, AL and AR, then he might get a little more time at the next debate.

Feels like the hand of God.
I think the issues that Southerns care about most are pro-guns, pro-traditional values, and pro-life.
Huckabee has been correct on those issues far a long long time. He has never been pro-abortion, pro-gun control, or pro-gay rights. That matters to people
That is the reason he did well in the South.
Huckabee - AR (35), AL (48), WV (30), TN (55), GA (72)
Romney - UT (36), MA (43), ND (26), ?MT (25), ?MN (41)
? - Leading Caucus, but hasn't won yet.
NOTE: The number in (##) represents Total number of delegates for the state, not the number won.
Despite all the gloom and doom on Romney, McCain is still far from being able to win the nomination.
Did anyone count how many times Fox news suggested Mitt drop out because he can’t go on? Hume has become a pompus dufus during the primaries. None of them are worth 2 cents. I’m switching over to CNN or Msnbc.
BTTT!
Arizona chose both Clinton and McCain. Sheesh!
You know, the funny thing is: Huckabee loathes Mitt, McCain loathes humankind and Mitt, Mitt dislikes (okay, by now he should be loathing) McCain. Similarly, a large portion of conservatives despise McCain, and dislike both others somewhat less (judging from the polling numbers).
I know a lot of people won’t vote for McCain if he’s the nominee and I’ve heard a few others say the same about both other candidates.
But honestly, if the convention brokers & nominates Thompson (nearly happened for Reagan in ‘76, did happen for Harding & Garfield), what conservatives woul not vote for him? Even the most enthusiastic supporters of McCain haven’t badmouthed Thompson. Nor have I heard the same level of distaste from the enthusiastic supporters of the other candidates.
I just wonder - if we get Thompson, who wouldn’t support him?
These are not clean wins - 3-way split to the vote and 3-way split of delegates. Huck eked out tiny leads in these states, yet outside the southeast, was way way back.
It’s a 3-man CLUSTERHUCK.
