The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

According to CNN, and excluding Wyoming (which only recorded how many delegates each candidate got), Huckbaee got just over 2.82 million, while Romney got just under 4.30 million. While Huckabee does by all rights have 2nd in the delegate count locked up, he still needs about 1.48 million votes (plus whatever Romney still gets) to pass Romney.

It’s kind of hard to call oneself the “next in line” if one is well behind second place in the vote count.
