It is hilarious reading “ McCain can’t beat Obama.”

If that is so, it applies a hundred fold to Huck.

He can’t win a single electoral vote outside the South and maybe a few border states.

And he would not sweep the South either.

And he would hurt candidates down the ticket as well.

Exactly.

I don’t know what makes people think that a candidate who can’t jump the hurdle (get enough votes) in his party’s nominating process to even get out of the bottom tier could then go on to be a viable candidate in the general election.

Turnout has been generally low in the Republican primaries. Out of those low numbers, a very low percentage voted for the more conservative candidates.

Even when what should have been obvious from the beginning became clear-—that if people failed to vote for the more conservative candidates, they would get a less conservative nominee-—they still chose McCain (the Potomac Primaries).

I understand people’s disappointment, but it is what it is.
