I think a little self-congratulatory back patting is in order. If this was a horse race, I’d have just one the trifecta twice in a row! Well… almost. Stupid Virginia.
Here are my predictions for the race as of February 2nd:
State | McCain | Huckabee | Result |
---|---|---|---|
Kansas | X | Correct! | |
Louisiana | X | Correct! | |
Washington | X | Correct! | |
D.C. | X | Correct! | |
Maryland | X | Correct! | |
Virginia | X | Aww Nuts |
Washington was close; much closer than I expected. In fact, if Huck presses his (completely valid) legal objections, Washington my be overturned. But for now, all I’ve missed is Virginia.
I won’t lie, losing those 60 VA delegates hurt Huck. But make no mistake, I’m still on the Huck-wagon. There is no way I can, in good conscience, support John McCain. In my mind, he has repeatedly betrayed the conservative republican base and there is nothing he can do to repair my opinion of him. He is and ever will be a RINO in my book.
