And the winner is...

Mike Huckabee. The former Governor of Arkansas won five states during Super Tuesday. Obviously, Senator John McCain won the night and is now on his way to the GOP nomination, which he'll need time to heal and bring the party together before the November general election. But Huckabee all but retired former Governor Mitt Romney, who did win five states himself, but failed to win key states in the South and delegate rich California. Word tonight is that the Romney camp will have "frank dscussions" about continuing his quest for the White House. He's now a potenital long-shot candidate this year but may be positioning himself for 2012. As for Huckabee, maybe McCain retires his debt or offers him a Cabinet post, or dare I say, selects him as his running mate? Stay tuned! Obviously, this allows Huckabee to continue to be the alternative to McCain. McCain showed great strength on both coasts, the midwest and even a couple of southern states. Just think, back in December McCain was all but dead and we were talking about Hillary's coronation. Funny how things change.

Burning the midnight oil?

I agree--Romney's done, McCain is the front-runner, Huckabee keeps going in his act of futility, and Republicans are screwed come November. Voter turnout shows it--Democrat voters turned out about 2-to-1 over Republican voters today. Republicans just aren't enthusiastic about their candidates the way that Democrats are.
