Repug Revolt in Kansas! Huckabee swamps McCain defying the Polls..

[KoKo]

Huckabee Takes Kansas

The results are just coming in now. And Huckabee appears to have taken Kansas running away. More soon. See the results on our scoreboard down to the right.

Continuing Update: It looks clear that Huckabee didn't just win but won in a blowout. It's important to note that Kansas is good territory for Huckabee. Evolution's been on the defensive in the state for many years. And it's a caucus, which privileges the most committed and engaged voters. That said, McCain's the presumptive nominee. So it will be important to watch how many states Huckabee can either win or seriously compete in. If the presumptive nominee continues to lose states that will, by definition, be a sign of something less than party unity.

Final Update: With 100% of caucuses reporting, Huckabee takes 60%, McCain 24%, and Ron Paul 11%.--DK

1. To be fair, who would bother to show up for McCain if you think he's a done deal?

[maximusveritas]

3. The opposite is equally true: why bother to show up for Huckabee?

Kerry still won almost all the races after he became the presumptive nominee.

6. The evangelicals will show up. That's who.

2. thats true,

He has 705 or something, so hes about 400 short, its just a matter of time

4. Whoa! That's good...I think?

5. Kansas is VERY VERY "Bible Thumper" Heavy...

Many home-schooled kids, a church on every corner. I'm not at all surprised to see this turnout for the Huckster... in Kansas, they already think that God is in the constitution. They've legislated that schools not teach evolution in some areas.. it's insane.

This isn't surprising at all...
