What’s next for Huckabee? On Tuesday, Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC hold their primaries. Mike said he expects to perform better than originally expected in Maryland and Virginia, although he’s quite a bit behind McCain in recent polls. Those, however, don’t factor in any bump that Mike might get from doing so well in the primaries yesterday.
Speaking of yesterday, if you missed it, the state of Washington decided to stop counting the ballots with about 12+% of the votes uncounted. McCain, who was leading by only 2%, was declared the winner by the head of the state’s Republican party. As you can imagine, Mike is protesting and an investigation is being launched.
Finally, I’d like to point out that after my last post, a reader with the username “Deezer” correctly pointed out that Romney’s delegates are free to vote for whomever they like at the convention. This means that if Huckabee continues to outperform expectations that it’s possible that those delegates could help him to win the nomination. While still not easily achievable, Deezer is right, and I appreciate that point being made.
