Huckabee was second. He had 278 delegates, and Romney had 271.

Sad so many were fooled by him the first time.

Awarding Huck second place because he ended up with 7 delegates more than Mitt is pretty sorry math considering that he won 75 of those delegates after Mitt quit the race. I was looking at total votes, caucus and primaries.

As for poor Rudy, his high water mark was Florida, where he couldn't even crack 15% and walked away with zero delegates. Florida, like too many other states, uses a winner-take-all system in delgates. Pretty hosed, if you asked me, but that's the way it is.

The only conservative who won more than a single delegate was poor Fred Thompson, who managed to get 5 from Iowa and 3 each from Nevada and Wyoming. You can look it up here.
