After Super Tuesdays results, four candidates have great momentum moving forward to the remaining elections. The big surprise of the evening was Former Governor Mike Huckabee, who won five southern states. Interestingly enough, Former Governor Mitt Romney, was calling Huckabee a spoiler and wanting him to drop out of the race. Well, after yesterday's results-Governor Huckabee should be asking Mitt Romney to drop out of the race! Is it possible that the "Huckster" is vying for VP? Well, I think he's definitely building a great case for the position by winning the evangelical, southern states.
Senator Barack Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton will battle it out to the finish. However, Senator Hillary Clinton won the biggest prize, California! Senator Clinton won the larger states. However, Senator Barack Obama won more states and few more delegates than Clinton. What an exciting and historical night in politics!
Senator John McCain is truly a come-back kid. Months ago, everybody wrote John McCain off. Now it's looking like the "Maverick" is moving closer and closer to the front runner for the republican party. The loser for the night was Former Governor Mitt Romney. After spending $30m campaigning, compared to Huckabee's $3m, makes it perfectly clear to me; you can't buy an election!
