That’s what I was saying all week. Can’t believe he just wrote it off!
The only good news here is that Huckabee isn’t winning. I think Romney easily beats McCain one on one. This is another stupid open primary so McCain is getting a lot of help from our enemies.
I wish he had been able to run hard in SC while he was in Nevada, but on the other hand, it made no difference to him whether he ended up third or barely fourth. If he couldn’t come in 1st or 2nd, it didn’t matter.
By focusing on Neveda, Romney actually took over 50% of the vote in a 5-way race. Nobody else is going to do that.
So he’s won 3 of 6, and those three are still looking like the 3 biggest victory totals (66% Wyoming, 53% Nevada, 39% Michigan).
Rudy might win Florida, and try to take all their delegates because he owns the party apparatus, but he’ll do it with under 30% of the vote if he does. McCain isn’t doing much better than 30% in South Carolina.
