Is McCain getting swept too?
It looks like Huckabee has a shot at all three.

He's leading right now in both LA and WA, and, of course, he already won Kansas.

What does all this mean?

1. I'm enjoying the chaos and confusion the GOP is experiencing right now
and hope that it continues and accelerates.

Ideally they'll nominate a ticket both parts of which are repellent to different camps in their base, and nobody on the red team shows up to vote.

8. I hope the battle continues as well
I am surprised that Romney dropped considering how weak McCain appears to be.

I am also floored by how well Huckabee is doing. The "moderates" are supposed to like McCain and the "conservatives" supposedly can't stand Huckabee, so where the hell is he getting his votes?

10. Good question. On one hand, it is a mystery how their vote is sorting out
among the candidates.

On the other, I guess I never figured Republicans knew what they were doing in the first place!

2. It means a lot of repukes don't like McCain
And if he's the nominee, they might stay home on election day.

3. I've been watching and wondering that too...
Given McCain has been called the presumptive nominee this seems to indicate a major problem to me.

12. It is definitely fascinating to watch
For whatever reason, I think it'll be good for Democrats if Huckabee sweeps McCain tonight.

14. You go Hucky boy.
I really hopes he wins the primary...he's be easier to beat. He'd scare a lot of people into thinking he'd turn us into a theocracy.

If he just does VERY well and forces McCain to make him VP in order to hold the Rethugs together...that would be excellent.

13. Keep picking at that scab, Huck!
Don't want the wound that McCain created in the GOP to heal too quickly!

15. Very,cool. As they say, "Good on ya, Huck". But, I thought
that McCain already it wrapped up- with 2/3 of the prize. No???

I mean, Is there any REAL chance for Huckabee to get the nomination?
