Huckabee within a single percentage point of Maverick in Virginia, says Geraghty — a 31-point gain in three days, if true. And check this out. Among women:
And:
The lesson? Always stock up on liquor before a primary. Stand by for fuller exit poll results imminently. Virginia polls close at 7 p.m.
Update: At the risk of stating the obvious, it doesn’t much matter if Maverick actually pulls out a win in Virginia or not. The fact that it’s this close means Huckabee gets to extend the primary for another few weeks.
Update: 7 o’clock, the polls are closed, and the margin’s already great enough for Fox News to call Virginia for Obama.
The GOP race? Too close to call.
Update: Raw Story claims inside info indicating Obama wins in Maryland and D.C. too.
Update: Based on these exits, it sounds like Maverick’s going to pull it out in Virginia. Barely.
Update: Here’s the GOP exit poll in Virginia. Note the gender divide; down to the wire.
Update (MM): Fox, CNN call Virginia for McCain. “Winning ugly” is still winning.
Update (Bryan): Voting in Maryland was extended 90 minutes, so the polls there are just about to close. We should start getting some data soon.
Update (Bryan): And at 9:30 on the nose, Fox calls the GOP race for McCain. It must be a blowout. Maybe he even topped 50% for the first time. Obama also took Maryland.
Update: Say goodnight, Hucky.
[A]fter going 0 for 3 tonight, despite a valiant effort in Virginia, Huckabee is looking at probably no wins until Texas. (And I don’t think I’d automatically give him a majority or plurality in the Lone Star State, either.)
We’re going to hear a lot about how close tonight was, and Huckabee can have his head held high, but with 86 percent of precincts reporting, it’s McCain 50 percent, Huckabee 41 percent. A nine percent margin isn’t a rout, but it’s not neck-and-neck, either.
It’s a free country, and Huckabee can stay in as long as he likes. But I suspect the question, “what’s the point?” is going to get steadily louder in the coming weeks…
Update: Wow. McCain lost Navy territory?

Yo, Anna:
Called Virginia a COMMUNISTWEALTH????
How dare ye?
Go try livin’ in the Democratic People’s Republic of Maryland for a few years, then move back and see if you can say that.
You obviously live in a city that taxes the he** outta ya. And if you’re in NoVa, I’ll bet I can name the city in 2 fast guesses: Either Fairfax or Falls Church.
Move to the county. Our taxes are lower.

Try this one on for size. The republican/conservative machine has laid off the Messiah, because they really don’t want even the thought of Hillary. When she is defeated they will turn their focus on him. He has a six point lead head to head with Maverick. It has been awfully quiet on the international front of late. If Achmeknvkjejjead, Kim Jong, Putin, or any other psycho get’s a little frisky, that six point lead goes bye bye. The general election highlights national security so much more than a primary. Here’s the call of the year: Maverick 52% Obama 48% Bank on it!

That’s what I like to see. Someone with a bit of confidence!

If Maverick wins his coattails should improve the situation in Congress too.

That almost makes me want to disqualify myself from voting in November just to take your money (I know I’ll need it to pay the Obama taxes).

In a statement tonight, McCain camp mgr Rick Davis congratulated Mike Huckabee on his “strong showing” in VA, but insisted that John McCain “will be the Republican nominee.”
More: “He will continue to campaign hard in the coming contests across the country and unify the Republican Party for victory in November.”
“John McCain will continue to run on his core conservative principles. The stakes could not be higher in this election, and John McCain will contrast his vision for America with that of Senators Clinton and Obama. He will draw sharp contrasts: victory versus surrender to radical Islamic extremism; lower taxes and spending versus more big government; free-market solutions to health care versus costly mandates; and the appointment of strict constructionist judges versus those who legislate from the bench.”

Win the middle. Win the middle. It’s the middle. It’s always been the middle. It will always be the middle. Win the middle. They decide presidential elections.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 12, 2008 at 9:15 PM
McCain is on a roll! I still believe that, if the powers that be at the GOP didn’t push McCain out in 2000 to make way for their “presumptive nominee” Dubya, he’d have won then too…
JetBoy on February 12, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Yes, and Tom Lantos has just reported that he sees snowballs.

First, a very sincere apology to “HebrewToYou”…I used the terms “Jewish” and “Jews” in my post and only realized after submitting that you clearly prefer the terms “Hebrew” and “Hebrews”. No offense was meant, and I hope none was taken.
You think Huckabee is a liar. Got it. Try this approach: give him 4 years to prove he will do what he says he will do. If he doesn’t, it’s 4 and out and I promise you that over the next four years, the worst you will get from Huckabee will be better than the best you’d get from Obama. I have openly committed to supporting Mitt Romney in 2012 if Huckabee doesn’t do what he says he’s going to do.
Don’t try to throw away the Supreme Court with your vote. This next election decides the balance of power in the Supreme Court for decades to come.
Huckabee/Thomspon defeats Obama/Edwards in November.

LevStrauss on February 12, 2008 at 9:20 PM
I would say that that seals it: Huckabee’s done. It is not mathematically possible for him to win the nomination. Moreover, if Huckabee continues, he risks becoming a joke, which certainly won’t help with a possible VP nod or any future run. But part of Huckabee’s success is that he continually confounds both conventional wisdom and the odds. Pushing forward when everyone told him it was over has gotten him this far. So who knows what he’ll decide. – BLAKE DVORAK

No, it is good that he stays in, at least until PA. The GOP needs some coverage away from the Obama/Clinton mediafest. If he does become a joke, so be it. McCain looks the saner for it, and he can still give Huck a job as Secretary of Agriculture.

Pax americana on February 12, 2008 at 9:25 PM
I hope that was just Mountain Dew that came through my nose when I read that. It’s not the middle; they’re pretty much irrelevant in this era of 50% of the electorate not caring enough to vote at all. It’s the base, and McCain and Huckabee have both turned off enough of the Republican base to guarantee losses.

Once the commercials start running about his record(the most liberal in the senate) and he has to debate Mav on foreign policy, the choice will be abundantly clear. True conservatives won’t stay home when the stakes are as high as they are. But nice try.

If the ‘base’ has any brains at all they will vote in the congressionals, and I would bet that once it has sunk in what a Hussain and Hillary ticket means, they’ll stump for Mac too.
Pax americana on February 12, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Kara, you’re simply wrong. Huck is no better than McCain. They are two sides of the same coin. And there are only four letters stamped on that coin: RINO.
Dude, you’re nuts. Obama is going to slaughter McCain. The Democrats — and the Mainsteam Media — haven’t even begun to pound on him. Once they do it’s a one man race. McCain was never really vetted. He is the darling of the MSM because they know he will be defeated by Hillary or Obama. It’s a done deal.
It’s not a matter of preference. You did nothing wrong. I’m just not Jewish. I’ve been bar mitzvah’d, confirmed and both of my parents are Jews. But I have no interest in religion. None whatsoever. So I’m a Hebrew to You. ;)
Nonsense. At least Obama doesn’t wear his religion on his sleeve. At least Obama doesn’t campaign for Republicans. At least Obama can refrain from petty insults. Metamucil anyone? Ageism disgusts me.
Huck is a troll just like all his supporters. That’s the only reason he’s still staying in this race. The space under his bridge is looking mighty empty.
HebrewToYou on February 12, 2008 at 9:30 PM
Pastor Holiday Inn Express left the GOP in a shambles in AR when he finally left the Governor’s mansion (with some very dicey ethical issues, I might add, including signing up for a wedding registry so he could receive gifts over a certain cap) and he also said people who were against illegal immigration were unChristian and anti-life. If he’s done less damage than McCain, it’s only because he’s had less opportunity.
I detest McCain, but let’s not pretend Huck’s an improvement. The election is already over and conservatives have lost.

The most important issues for most voters are i) national security and ii) the economy. These will be the issues where the race is won and lost. Immigration will come in 3rd at best.

Pax americana on February 12, 2008 at 9:33 PM
“Blindly” support him? On the contrary…
I really don’t see the resemblance to Bush in 2000 tho…back then, Bush was “pushed” on us by the GOP as early as 1998 as the presumptive front-runner. Needless to say, I didn’t much like that. If anything, the party power people didn’t push anyone this time around. McCain is clearly winning, even tho many hot-headed self-called “conservatives” blindly see…for whatever reasons…a “liberal turncoat” in McCain.
JetBoy on February 12, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Mac leads Huckabee by a comfortable margin (9% with 86% reporting) in a Southern state. I don’t care where the polls stood a few days ago, that’s a nice win for McCain in the only poll that matters.
RightOFLeft on February 12, 2008 at 9:35 PM
It has been way too quiet out there in terrorville. I think all the usual suspects are rooting for Obama, because they know it’s party time after inauguration. Unfortunately for them, they can’t control there peeps. It’s just a matter of time before somebody gets out of line and “Hope” and “Change” will be irrelevant.
THE CHOSEN ONE on February 12, 2008 at 9:36 PM
1) not mathematically possible
2) Risks becoming a joke? No, he is proving he is a viable candidate, and support will start flooding into his campaign.
You sure sound like you think Secretary of Agriculture is a job for someone who is a joke. Let me guess. You’re from a coastal blue state, aren’t you? You just insulted the “flyover” land that helps win elections for Republicans. They will have the last laugh when Huckabee wins.

“presumptive front-runner” for McCain is the same death-knell for McCain that “inevitable candidate” is for Hillary.

I call him Pastor Holiday Inn Express because he said something to the effect that he didn’t know much about foreign policy but he did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. I don’t think that’s *at all* funny, especially in light of his Pakistan gaffes.
This post is chock full of facts and supporting links on the wedding registry scandal and a great deal more. Including letting a serial DUIer off the hook after his wife made some massive GOP donations.

Well than bash his policies. Implying that a happily married/ monogamous man that doesn’t drink is doing that is absurd. What a bigot you are.

1) So that was the purpose of Hillary’s visit to John Edwards’ house in NC? To offer him AG or SCOTUS in return for his support? Now that’s a scary thought. But Edwards will hitch is wagon to Obama in return for VP because he wants POTUS one day. But it won’t happen this election, and you already know why.
2) Which brings me to my second point. Thanks for voting for Hillary in TX.

There are far more Dems and Independents voting in these primaries and caucuses than Repubs and Conservatives. They are motivated and they really do want to see another party in the White House.

emphasis added
Your right. In 2000 Bush tried to sound like he would up hold the Constitution. Since then McCain has proudly demanded that he would tear it to shreds to suit his political career. There is no need to rehash the liberal policies of this “republican” candidate. It’s been done a thousand times on this and other blogs. Your also right in the fact that the GOP establishment hasn’t seemed to “push” any candidate. However, the mainstream media certainly have, and his name is McCain. Again, a slew of endorsements from the left confirm his true leanings and they are not in harmony with classical liberal or conservative views of government.
McCain is no longer a republican, regardless of whose “foot soldier” he was. Regardless of his “lifetime” conservative credentials. Regardless of the “double talk” express he espouses. In the end, in the last seven years, he has become a RINO, and will severely damage this party. But he doesn’t care. He deserves to be President. It’s his TURN!! The man is an insult.

THE CHOSEN ONE on February 12, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Your point has been dealt with several times in earlier threads. CK Maclaud posted lists showing that Democratic primary turnout almost always beats GOP turnout 3:2, even in years when the GOP wins the Presidency. The only recent exception was 1996 for obvious reasons, when GOP turnout was higher but we still lost.
There is no reason why November will be ugly, unless the defeatists and whiners cause it to be so. There is a lot of discontent at the Democratic Congress, and we should be making every effort to exploit that.

Hollowpoint on February 12, 2008 at 10:03 PM
A couple of decades of leftist control of our schools and the near total inability of postmoderns to think critically means that the nation is going to go socialist to one extent or another. The whole country has moved further left, which is why GW Bush, McCain and Huckabee all get to call themselves conservatives and only a handful of people get mad about it. The only question is will we take the slower road (McCain) or the express lane (Obama/Hillary).
I’m starting to think we’re going to have to hit rock-bottom, Venezuela-style, or at the very least, experience conditions like the 1970s for people to smarten up.

SouthernGent on February 12, 2008 at 10:05 PM
Why, yes, I can.
There is a very good chance that the Republicans will not win the White House in November. If fact, I think the current split in Executive and Legislative branches will probably reverse. Meaning — the Dems will win the White House and the Repubs may gain marginal control of both the Senate and the House. Just a guess right now but this is based on the general sentiment out there. Voters want change in the White House and they want change (again) in the House and maybe at the Senate-level.
