Mike Huckabee: The Story Of The Night?

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Huckabee

Unless Romney pulls off some magic in California and states that close later, Huckabee is a big story tonight. He may have just turned it into a 2 candidate race, and he’s definitely spurned Romney’s accusations of being McCain whipping boy.

Check out Drudge’s projections:

AL: HUCKABEE
AR: HUCKABEE
CT: MCCAIN
DE: MCCAIN
GA: HUCKABEE
IL: MCCAIN
MA: ROMNEY
MO: HUCKABEE
ND: ROMNEY
NJ: MCCAIN
NY: MCCAIN
OK: MCCAIN
TN: HUCKABEE
UT: ROMNEY
WV: HUCKABEE

You can add Alabama to that, and Missouri is looking good for Huck too.

Long story short, this bodes VERY well for Huckabee as VP candidate. If he can bring out the evangelicals, McCain would be a moron to not choose him.

McCain might be a moron for choosing him by alienating anti-religious right moderates though. We’ll see.

On Huckabee’s apparent Southern sweep, Ace of Spades, being his usual acerbic, brutally honest self, observed “I guess some people just ain’t voting for a Mormon, no way no how.” He also called the prospect of McCain-Huckabee as the “Worst. Republican. Ticket. Ever.” Not sure if I’d go quite that far, but if I’m Barack Obama I can’t help but thinking that the stars are aligning nearly perfectly for his campaign.

Meanwhile on CNN they showed an interesting exit poll result from Arizona: Even though McCain won the GOP primary there, Romney beat him by about ten percentage points among voters identifying themselves as conservative. That’s right; McCain can’t even win over conservative Republicans in his own state! Ouch.

Once again I see Ron Paul is a non-factor in every state. No surprise there of course. His message appealed to me, and to millions of other voters. The messenger, not so much. Unfortunately for Paul, we don’t vote for disembodied messages in our elections, because, well, we need a real live person to actually govern as President.
