We've only just begun...

While McCain and the Hill did quite well last night, the "surprise" that the electorate didn't punch their buttons for the pundits on CNN or Fox News. Romney and Huckabee took more states than was expected. On the other side of the isle Obama took more states, but the Hill ended up with more delegates.

While McCain and the Hill could be called front runners now, this thing is far from over and far from being decided.

Huckabee's surprise was that he carried southern states. That really shouldn't be much of a surprise. His ability to deliver the South might give him an edge in that all important VeeP spot. But can he really "deliver" the South against Barack or The Hill? Arkansas would be close, for sure. But is he "conservative enough" to overcome party doubts in the general?

Romney is still in it, and the sooner he gets out, the sooner he'll be the Republican nominee in 2012.
