Huckabee 2, McCain 1

Huckabee 2, McCain 1

10 February 2008 · 1 Comment

Did a few folks not get the memo that the GOP is supposed to come-together around McCain?

  • Kansas caucuses: Huckabee 60%, McCain 24%, Paul 11%, Romney 3%
  • Louisiana primary: Huckabee 43%, McCain 42%, Romney 6%, Paul 5%, Giuliani 1%
  • Washington caucuses McCain 26%, Huckabee 24%, Paul 21%, Romney 17%

Even in the one state where McCain “won”, he still received fewer votes than did candidates who have already dropped out.

The Kansas and Washington results have me wondering if it might be easier now for some small-ell libertarian types to vote for Ron Paul, given that the nominee is all-but-decided  (or is it a function of lower turnout and/or the caucus effect).   However, I also find the disconnect between the Louisiana caucus and the Louisiana primary results interesting.

    Many states have early voting, so that’s probably why Romney got what he got.
