From the article

Thigpen said if turnout in today’s Republican primary is under 400,000, it benefits Huckabee.

Bruce Ransom, a political science professor at Clemson University agreed: “A high turnout would favor McCain.”

from your link ...

“There’s nobody out there who is wild for their candidate. In (1980), people would have walked through broken glass in their bare feet to vote (for Ronald Reagan). This might go the convention.”

Now where have I heard that before?

Huh. Rain in the south and snow in the north. This should help Fred and Huck, whose voters are value voters. People with a weak or emotional attachment to their candidate will stay at home.
