“And if the Huckabee voters look at the reality and see they are voting for McCain when they vote for Huck, anything can happen.”

This point must be made every chance Romney gets...

Hugh perverted himself early on like a pimp for a drug induced pig. His influence is measurably laughable. He ain’t a conservative by any sense of the measure.

Good analysis. With any luck...meaning not the worst case scenario painted here...Romney could come out of Super Tuesday with close to 500 delegates to McCain's 600 or more. That would keep the contest open and provide Mitt with more chance to overcome McCain.

Admitteldy, with Rudy's endorsement and with Huckabee's actions basically spoiling for McCain, it is going to be a very, very difficult road to hoe. Almost insurmountable it seems, but still worth the effort IMHO, even if Romney is my 3rd choice. Still a better choice, IMHO, than McCain.

Here is my problem with Hugh’s otherwise “fair enough” reasoning:

Historically, the perceived “winner” of most early delegates (and McCain has a plurality, if not “most”) IMPROVES HIS STANDING in the remaining states. For some reason, people want to vote for a winner ... which is silly, perhaps ...

Point is, if history is a guide, McCain is likely to improve his “numbers,” absent some new, hard-hitting attacks on him by opponents or the media — or a gaffe/ scandal not previously known.

I wish it were otherwise, Hugh, but ...

I only did this math weeks ago, but thanks for catching up Hugh.

Romney needs to find a way to get Huckabee out. Ron Paul too.

If prayer works, someone can try that. I'm not a prayer.

I wonder how fresh these polls are. Super Tuesday ought to be a chaotic day. If Romney has any money left in his coffers, he’d better start spending it now. He also had better hit a grand friggin’ slam tonight if he wants to stop the McCain juggernaut.

Thanks for the numbers. I was just going to look for them. This race is far from over.

The truth about Mr. Amnesty needs to get out to the voters that vote but haven’t paid attention the past year to what McCain has done!

Um, even assuming a 40-40-20 super Tuesday, when and where is Romney supposed to make up the resulting 300 delegate McCain lead that results?

“Huckabee will certainly get the 34 Arkansas delegates to go with his 29, for a total of 63.”

Hewitt’s first wrong answer. Conservatives in Arkansas see The Huckster for what he really is: Bubba Lite. He couldn’t get elected dog catcher down here.

Outside of St Louis, mcCain has little to no support in the rest of Missouri.
Divide the rest between huck and rom.

It’s the Twilight zone!

Ron Paul is not yet mathematically eliminated.

I can’t tell you all how depressing this is. I vote republican because they are te most conservative party, but this is a kick right in the balls if McCain is going to be the nominee.

We need a conservative party.

Great post, Checkers. Brings a little light to my day!

That's the second time this month you've pulled me from the doldrums. Have a cookie!

I wish people would wake up and realize McLame is pro-Amnesty, anti-First Amendment, and voted against the tax cuts that saved our economy.
