"Unfortunately, this is what Senator McCain's inside Washington ways look like: he cut a backroom deal with the tax-and-spend candidate he thought could best stop Governor Romney's campaign of conservative change."

Yeah, and Microsoft Works...

I don't expect McCain to win Arizona easily. 5 points wouldn't surprise me. Arizona is a state tailor made for Romney

Some of these results would suggest that the polls were way, way off. They missed in a lot of states. I don't buy them.

I just read a report that Huckabee had a robocall go out to Georgia (and maybe other non-Arkansas  Southern states voting today) using his WV victory to get support in these other states.  That was quick!

None of this gets McCain off his game much if these numbers are true.  The big items on the negative side for McCain are 1) winner take all Missouri is tight, and 2) McCain might not get the 30 winner take all delegates from Georgia, and 3) winner take all Arizona is vaguely in play.

On the other side on the coin, it does not look like the Mitt surge in California is panning out (McCain was up 6% among absentees in the Surveyusa poll), and so if this holds, McCain looks good to go for two thirds to three quarters of the California delegates.

I agree. This would be a worse than expected result for McCain but still not enough to derail him. Could this be the voters who went from Huckabee to Romney in order to stop McCain going back again affected by the WV win? Because the Southern polls look similar to what we saw in polls a week or so back.

On whats important, The economy beat Illegal Immigration 40%-22% which technically would bode well for Romney....but obviously from FL that isnt usually the case.

Exit Polls suggest either Romney or Huckabee will win.

Um... doing the math on the gender numbers... Romney and Huckabee are essentially tied at 31%.

I don't think that bodes well for McCain, since Romney probably beats him by quite a bit in early voting, which I'm guessing is under-represented here.

Hahahahaha. All of the political pundits are surprised by Huckabee voters supporting McCain as a second choice. Idiots. I know more than them and I am 13.
