Mike Huckabee wins in AL, AR, GA, TN, WV
Yep, Mike Huckabee is the winner in each of these state and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised at these results. All day I was pretty nervous about how well Huckabee would do but it seems that my fears were fairly unfounded. One thing that I did enjoy about tonight (other than the fact that Huckabee did so well) was that in all the states Huckabee won, it was a close race. This kept it pretty interesting to watch the results trickle in (and still trickling it at the time of this posting). Here are the results from the states that have been called a win for Huckabee:
Huckabee also gave a speech at the end of the night reiterating the fact that he isn’t going to give up until all the delegates are won.
Today has been a day when the people have spoken. And today people across this country are saying that, yes, we heard what the pundits said. But this is our vote, not theirs. This is our election, not theirs. This is our presidency, not theirs.
And for all those people who have made sacrifices to help us be here, I want to say thank you. And I also want you to know that as long as there’s still votes and delegates to be won until that magic number of 1,191, there’s going be one guy answering the bell every time there’s a new round.

Thank the Southern populist for aiding the nomination of Senator McCain. An appeal to southern populism (wall street v. wal-mart) appears to be effective. Now let’s win the war on terror in Iraq and defeat a massive new government entitlement (health care).
