Catching Up

OK, so my earlier predictions were that Huckabee would need to win SC and FL to stay in the race. Unfortunately, he didn't win either, but he is still very much in the game. Thompson influenced SC just enough to allow McCain to eke out a win and gain the momentum needed to take FL. Giuliani's campaign completed its historic collapse in the Sunshine State, after which he dropped out and went for McCain. Romney took Michigan based on not much more than his last name and also took Wyoming and Nevada based on the fact that he was pretty much the only candidate that showed up.

So, here it is Super Tuesday and this is where we stand. McCain is for all intents and purposes the "front-runner". Huckabee and Romney are vying for the conservative votes as McCain takes all the moderate to liberal votes. Romney spends his time whining that Huck is spoiling for McCain, even when polls show that if it were down to he and Big Mac, that McCain would obliterate him pretty much everywhere.

Today's big questions are as follows: Can McCain wrap it up tonight? Will Romney win any states? Will Huckabee win any states? How much longer can either of them stay in after today?
