Exit polls: The night of tears? Update: Fox calls Virginia for Obama; Update: Obama wins Maryland too?; Update: McCain takes VA & MD; Update: When will Huck quit?

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?

Why should Huck quit, he has God on his side…
right2bright on February 13, 2008 at 1:33 AM
I’m with ya. I don’t dislike some of McCain’s positions enough to sacrifice our nation’s security by voting for a dem. I truly believe that if Obama, especially, gets elected it’ll be open season on us.
bojack on February 13, 2008 at 1:43 AM
If it is, then we’ll fight back. When McCain declares war on conservative ideals as Bush did, the party faithful will follow him over the cliff.
If the country is getting screwed up by liberalism, let the Dems do it in the face of spirited opposition. Let’s not have McCain leading both parties and us down the road to perdition.
Obama ‘08!
Valiant on February 13, 2008 at 1:54 AM
He certainly has a power that is not human driving his candidacy.
BKennedy on February 13, 2008 at 1:54 AM
The way McCain can beat Obama is to have one of his staff switch Obama’s teleprompter speech with Mein Kampf. That’ll through Baron Oburgandy for a loop.
BKennedy on February 13, 2008 at 1:57 AM
It’s takes a willing congress and a strong commander in chief to fight back. The strongest military in the world is useless without political will. We were attacked repeatedly during Billy’s presidency and he did nothing.
bojack on February 13, 2008 at 2:04 AM
Yes. When they look back on Huckabee’s two terms in office from Jan 2009 – Jan 2017, and realize that he:
1) Built the fence
2) Got three new conservative justices confirmed to the SCOTUS
3) Abolished the IRS and replaced it with a Fair Tax
4) Got a Constitutional Amendment passed to protect the right to life (consistent with the Declaration of Independence, i.e. nothing new here, it’s just that activist liberal justices have made a Constitutional Amendment necessary to protect something the Constitution’s framers saw as a God-given right so obvious (self-evident) that it was taken for granted and not written explicitly into the Constitution, as it was in the Declaration of Independence which was written to the King of England, who they considered an ignoramous.)
The conservative scoffers and doubters of today will in 2017 look back and realize, “Wow. Huckabee did better than Reagan! Who would have thought that?”
Who would have thought that? We The People who are supporting Mike Huckabee right now, when no one else has eyes to see it. Yet.

“I understand why conservatives have misgivings about McCain — I share many of them — but what I do not understand is how some find Huckabee to be a more acceptable ‘conservative’ candidate. McCain has his share of heresies, to be sure, but they pale in comparison to those of the Huckster — and Huckabee’s foreign policy experience is scarcely greater than Barack Obama’s.”

Huck won’t quit. Quitters never win. As I see it, the only way for Huck not to be our next President would be for him to quit.

Priscilla on February 13, 2008 at 8:25 AM
He’s more conservative than Bush. McCain wants to build the military and stop outrageous government growth. He’s been pro-life his entire career. Neither McCain nor Bush is willing to demogogue on homosexuality, which is good.
Bush ran as the Mexico loving candidate in 2000 and still beat Al Gore. Bush has been pro-amnesty since at least that campaign in 1999/2000.
The people were able to stop the worst of it under Bush, and will be able to do so with McCain.
You think you can stop anything Obama and his liberal democrat congress want to do? Delusional.

Huck’s only hanging around in the hope of passing Mitt in the delegate count. If and when Huck gets 283 delegates, he’ll drop out. He can’t stand the thought of Mitt having more power than him at the convention.

Other posts have discussed how Democrat turnout for their primaries is roughly 50% greater than Republican turnout for their primaries.
Now consider this:
How many of those extra Democrats crossed over and voted for McCain in Florida and other states?
How many of those extra Democrats will cross over in future Republican primaries?
There are a lot of Republicans who have been sitting out the primaries, but could be motivated to come out in the primaries that have yet to be held. Those republicans will have zero motivation to come out for McCain. But they will be highly motivated to come out for Huckabee.
sarc: Texas *Hearts* John McCain. /sarc
Some Texas Republicans (CINOs) will actually be foolish enough to crossover and vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton. …Because they fear Barack Obama. Barack ain’t got game. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. They’d rather vote for a woman who voted against confirming Roberts and Alito rather than vote for a man who will appoint more Roberts and Alitos (Huckabee).
All of which adds up to a very impressive Huckabee win in Texas. Could be even bigger than Kansas was.

ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 9:59 AM
Stop trolling. Your analysis makes no sense. Thompson would never run with Huckabee and Huckabee would never secure the GOP nomination. And even if those things DID happen, there is no way they could win the general. Huckabee alienates a great many people every time he opens his yap.

Don’t underestimate the number of trolls posting here, or the number of Democrats who voted for McCain in the previous primaries.
If any state (like Florida) does another primary for one party, they must do it for both parties. Otherwise, you will have Democrats who voted for McCain in the Republican primary and Obama in the 2nd Democrat primary.

Fred said it best about the Huckster in the Myrtle Beach debate last month.
“This is a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and its future,” Thompson said. “On the one hand, you have the Reagan revolution. You have the Reagan coalition of limited government and strong national security. On the other hand, you have the direction that Gov. Huckabee would take us in. He would be a Christian leader, but he would also bring about liberal economic policies, liberal foreign policies.”

ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 12:22 PM
Now this is a bit “out there” for most of you, but it’s the truth and now is as good a time as any to share it.
The legal standing of the IRS is extremely questionable.
You accept the IRS as part of the Matrix, because it’s all you’ve ever known. You’ve never seen this country before it had an IRS. But, believe it or not, there was a time when this country collected taxes very successfully in other ways. Ways that are fully supported by the Constitution.
The brave souls who dare to challenge the legality of the IRS are dealt with very harshly. Yet the valid questions they raise have never been answered by our government. Ron Paul supporters, do your ears perk up? Take a long hard look at this and see what you think.
I think that the IRS doesn’t have a leg to stand on. But as brave as I have been here on Hot Air, I am not brave enough to challenge the IRS. Few are. But if a successful challenge were mounted against the legitimacy of income taxes, the house of cards would come crumbling down, our government would go broke, and there would be chaos and anarchy. So the time to fix the problem is now. In most states, you pay sales taxes at the time of purchase. Texas has no personal income tax. Why is it so hard to believe that we could have a national sales tax and no national income tax? It’s not hard to believe at all. How many hours a year do you spend preparing your income tax returns? Do you enjoy that? Nobody does. As a country, we waste huge amounts of resources just preparing, processing, and auditing income tax returns….all for an unconstitutional taxation system that says, “The more you earn, the more tax you pay” instead of “The more you spend, the more tax you pay”. The latter will be much better for our economy and, looking back, conservatives will be glad that President Huckabee abolished the IRS and instituted the Fair Tax.
But liberals won’t like it, because they won’t be able to redistribute the wealth as easily and incite class warfare over “Bush’s tax cuts for the rich!” (when in reality, are “Bush’s tax increases for the rich!”, but that’s another topic)
Welcome to the view outside the Matrix. Do you like the view? I do.
Now, would a troll or a spammer be linking to Rush Limbaugh?
ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 12:33 PM

The 1st Amendment establishment clause is there to protect the church from the government, not (as “Separation of Church and State” Liberals think) to protect the government from the church.
“Separation of Church and State” is NOT a Constitutional concept. You will not find those words anywhere in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence (which birthed our country). We celebrate our nation’s birthday as the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, not the date of the signing or ratification of our Constitution. Take a good long look at the Declaration of Independence to see what and how our founders thought. It was written to someone they didn’t think “got it” (the King of England), so they didn’t take for granted that he would understand anything. They were explicit about their faith in God (Divine Providence) and the reasons why they were founding this country.
Here’s another SuperBowl connection…did you see the pre-game introduction where NFL players and Pat Tillman’s widow recited the Declaration of Independence line by line?
Did you have eyes to see that?
The liberty bell has a Bible verse on it. Did you know that? Lev. XXV X
The fact that this country was founded as a Christian nation gives you freedoms that no other citizen of any other country has.
The 1st Amendment guarantees that as long as we keep our Constitutional Republic, you will not have a national church established and forced upon you.
At the same time, there should never be restrictions of speech forced upon any citizen, including the President of the United States. Huck will NOT try to establish a national religion. But, if he quotes from the Bible, that’s no different than what our founding fathers did. And you should thank God (literally) that they did, or you wouldn’t enjoy the freedoms that you enjoy today.
Selah.

The Matrix agents will really try to shut me up now.
You know, 1st Ammendment and all…
ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 1:51 PM
…the same 1st Amendment that allows you to say whatever you want to about me, allows me to say whatever I want to about God and His annointing on this country. The most blessed country on the face of the earth.
God Bless America

The people who swear in their posts are usually Matrix agent trolls…

Another SuperBowl connection:
God knows that the SuperBowl is the most watched event on TV all year.
If God is real, a real living God, don’t you think he’d want to tell the world that He loves them?
Do you really think it’s a coincidence that you see “John 3:16″ signs at practically every NFL game (unless the TV censors don’t let you see it)?
Do you really think that it’s a coincidence that both of last year’s coaches were Christians who would give the glory to God, so that no matter who won, God would be glorified?
ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 2:03 PM
I don’t want to speak for Bryan, but my guess is he thinks it’s pretty cool how I’m using the SuperBowl the the Matrix to spread the Gospel…
…But wait, I thought Christians were too stupid to do something like that… /sarc
ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 2:05 PM
This is so cool…I just now went looking for a link and found that John 3:16 is the Verse of the Day. Coincidence? Not for those with eyes to see. Just another “sign” from the Living God.

This is going to sound bad any way that I put it, but there are at least two very valid reasons for Huckabee to remain in that serve our party well.
1) McCain could become injured or ill and be unable to continue the race (I hope not.)
2) By staying in, Huckabee forces media coverage of conservative issues. If he gets out, media coverage of the Republican Party will cease until after the two party conventions.
I say that Huckabee should remain in as long as an excuse exist to continue the coverage of conservative ideas. He is not saying anything that will harm McCain in any way shape or form.
Wise Golden on February 13, 2008 at 2:17 PM
Huckabee is less of a conservative than McCain.
Roger Waters on February 13, 2008 at 2:58 PM
Huckster is more of a liberal than McCain.

I like how you’re thinking. Thanks for being one of the rational conservatives.
However, I have to correct you on one point…
Yes, yes, he is…
He’s saying (and committing in writing) to:
You think that won’t harm McCain “in any way shape or form”?
Hint:
Texas hasn’t held their primary yet.
And here is some good news that should make you all LOVE Huckabee…
If McCain finally agrees to the list of immigration measures sponsored by Senator Jeff Sessions, it will be because Huckabee forced McCain to do it in order to have any hope of winning Texas. Huck couldn’t make that happen if he quit now, could he?
How many of you have eyes to see that? It really isn’t hard to see. I should start hearing some chants of “Go, Huck, go!”
(and of course I expect a troll to respond, “Yes, go, Huck, go HOME!”, so I’ve now beaten you to that punch)

Mike Huckabee 101
ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 3:22 PM
Actually, watching McCain vs Huckabee right now is about as fascinating as watching Fatah vs Hamas, or Hizbullah vs Sunni Lebanese, or Iraq Shia vs Sunni, or 1980’s Iran vs Iraq, or Afghanistan Taliban vs other Jihadis.
We hated Huckabee and McCain when they were ganging up on Romney, but it’s funny to see them take on each other ;-)
Wonder how Michael Medved is weighing in on all this?
infidelpride on February 13, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Dude. That is scary. Huckabee is not G-d’s candidate. He’s just a guy; he ain’t a prophet.
HebrewToYou on February 13, 2008 at 3:25 PM
Huck’s a stupid Gomer Pyle, right?
I mean, that’s that the MSM Matrix told you, right?
Did you know that Huck graduated from College magna cum laude with a 4 year degree in just over 2 years?
Did you know Huck has written more books than 99.9% of you?
ITookTheRedPill on February 13, 2008 at 3:30 PM
Wow. He completed a bachelors in RELIGION in 2.5 years. Amazing. He must be a genius! ROFL. You’re ridiculous.
So has Al Franken. He’s written six books. What. Is. Your. Point?
HebrewToYou on February 13, 2008 at 3:35 PM
Surprise, surprise…
