Huckabee concedes

After fighting on long after most saw the race as over, Mike Huckabee announces that he's stepping aside to make room for John McCain.

The letters thread is now closed.

@ShawWM

You seem to be under the impression that Obama and Clinton are running against each other for president. Those numbers don't say anything about how either Democrat will do against McCain.

Good Old Huck

Even though Huckie is a right-wing twit, he's so much more likeable than McCain. He's also the only Republican who seems to care about the poor. Of course, I'd never vote for him But I'd prefer to see his face on TV for the next eight months than McCain's mug.

Don't ya just love Salon's objectivity in this primary?

Everything you need to know to figure out why Obama will lose in a landslide is RIGHT HERE from CNN.com and has been for at least six weeks.

Meanwhile, 64 percent of Hispanics backed Clinton, while 32 percent went for Obama.

Early exit polls indicate a distinct "age gap" in both states.

Obama appeals most strongly to younger voters while older voters favor Clinton. Among Ohio Democratic primary voters aged 17 to 29, 65 percent went for Obama, and 34 percent went for Clinton. Among those age 60 and older, Clinton leads Obama 67-31 percent.

The most growing and most reliable voters in the country don't back Obama. (Does no one at all here a "Warning Dr. Smith" light going off?) But yet Salon's done all they could to prop this empty suit and ensure his primary victory.

Well, I hope you're happy, editors. You'll have another eight years of disgruntled lefties shelling out for hand-wringing subscriptions and to hell with what happens to the country.

How are those miracles working out for you, Huck?

I guess the math (and not Karl Rove's "math") wins in the end. Why does God hate the ignorant so?

This Frees up the Right..............

To take complete advantage of the democrat "stalemate". So even though the numbers tonight won't make it any more possab;e for HRC to win the nod, she will stay in and all of hers and Obamas money, time and effort will go towards undermining the dem candidate- which at this point- has to be Obama since no way she can win the nod without having had won all four states.

I swear sometimes i think there is a God- and he hates democrats.

Notice who's message McCain is taking

"We don't fear history, we make history." Looks like he's learning. You can't run the anit-hope campaign and hope to win. It just ain't gonna work.

Huckabee has some humanity

He probably will be back. We could have much worse. And his bride did not appear to be packing heat tonight on TV. Thank the Lord for small blessings.
