State of the Race
So with 2 states down and a few more to go before February 5th, here is where we are at with the Republicans. Iowa voted for Huckabee, and New Hampshire for McCain. While I wouldn’t have much to complain about if Romney had won, it is interesting to note, as Hugh Hewitt does, that republican voters haven’t really decided any of the contests yet. It is also interesting to note that Romney has the most delegates of all the candidates at this point, in a way proof of Huckabee’s and McCain’s inability to appeal in more than one of the 2 early states.
Iowa was decided by single issue evangelicals and New Hampshire by independents. When there is a generic republican base of voters, we may see some other things given the liberal views and records of Huckabee and McCain.
