I’m tired… feel free to discuss the primary results tonight…
UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: I’m not quite so tired, but I managed to sleep on the plane a little.
Huckabee had a good night, and the rumor-mill out there is a worry that Huckabee might be able to pull off a win in Texas. I’m not so sure about that – in Louisiana, Huckabee fell short of the necessary votes to immediately secure Louisiana’s delegates, and they’ll now be awarded at a State convention, where they are almost certain to go to McCain. Meanwhile, Huckabee’s crushing victory in Kansas is offset, in delegates, by McCain’s slight win in Washington, and its still mathematically nearly impossible for Huckabee to derail McCain. Blogs for Victory advises Huckabee to pack it in – we’ve got an election to win, not an ego to feed.
Meanhile, Barack Obama scored huge today, and that means he’s probably tied – if not slightly ahead – of Hillary in the delegate count. Word is that in upcoming primaries, however, Hillary should do fairly well…which means that there won’t be a Democratic nominee until at least the end of March, and my feeling is that its becoming very hard for the Democrats to avoid an open convention.
