He lost Kansas and is running behind in both Louisiana and Washington.

HA!

3. I think they'll ignore it.
Steven Colbert will talk about, though!

2. Another "Inevitable" bites the dust?

6. Oh, he'll still win. But he'll be embarrased.
Again, HA!

4. It would be funnier than you could ever imagine.
It would be chaos in the republican race.

5. All he has to do is crack 20% in the proportional delegate states
to get enough delegates to win. It's mathematically virtually impossible for Huck to win, and McCain will probably win places like VA/MD.

8. but that isn't the point. The thing is embarrassing the presumptive nominee
and if he continues to lose primaries in winning the nomination it doesn't look good for him.

11. I agree--if I were the bigwigs of the party (most of whom back McCain), I'd be
on the phone saying "You've had your fun...if you don't want to be shunned by the party forever and give up a possible cabinet post or some other appointment, you'll stop it now."

12. Absolutely, McCain will be having kittens right now.
Hard to get the party lined up behind him when they keep voting for the other guy!

9. I know McCain will still win the nomination. But I'll still laugh at him for losing tonight!

7. That would be cool I think
I imagined that he would be fairly easy to beat, in spite of the polls.

I suppose Huckabee should be easy enough to beat as well.

I wonder is Romnoid is having second thoughts?
