Romney Leads going into Florida
Hugh Hewitt has results showing Romney leading both in delegates and in total votes -- with 59 delegates and 530,162 votes. And the results don't include Wyoming, which Mitt also won.

Coulter continues her praise of Romney:
"One clue that Romney is our strongest candidate is the fact that Democrats keep viciously attacking him while expressing their deep respect for Mike Huckabee and John McCain. "

"The candidate Republicans should be clamoring for is the one liberals are feverishly denouncing. That is Mitt Romney by a landslide. "
What's Huckabee really after:
Politico thinks it is to be a Mitt-Killer for McCain: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0108/8003.html
“In Florida, McCain is desperate to keep conservative Republicans from coalescing around another candidate, and the best way to prevent it is to have the GOP vote fractured,” said University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato. “Huckabee knows that by keeping his candidacy alive, he’s potentially helping McCain win another split plurality vote. McCain knows it, too. Gratitude will follow — but whether that includes the vice presidency is anybody’s guess.”

I've wondered if the media hasn't latched on to Huckabee as a darling because they have a whole congregation of lunatic quotes and statements that can easily be made to sound like religious tyranny that they can beat him to death with in the general election and thus guarantee a win for Clinton or Obama. On the other hand, McCain might as well be a democrat, so the liberal media would like him just as well as either Hillary or Barak.
