Super Tuesday: McGuilabee Claims Victory

The results are fairly conclusive. While Romney won some states, it was always going to be an uphill battle for him, as he really was battling the three eyed monster, McGuilabee all week long. While Romney is not exactly down for the count, we've seen what can happen in states like West Virginia, a state where Romney actually had more votes than any other candidate. This will mean further uphill sledding for Mitt. For even if he gains ground on McCain, which he seems to be doing slowly, the McGuilabee indy coalition will just rolls their votes into the nearest independent they can find.

Unfortunately, I believe this is a blueprint that dems can use for future elections. If they were ever to throw a third party candidate into the race to take the election, made sure he's an evangelical from the south to divide and conquer. Or even easier, if dems were smart, they'd just take an evangelical guy from the south for pres or veep, and they'll gain some easy votes. I suppose people have always known this, but it's just been reinforced in this year's primaries.
