America Votes 2008: Super Tuesday

They're still voting in 23 states right now, but in West Virignia, the Republican Caucus is over and NBC News/MSNBC are calling it a win for Mike Huckabee, giving him another 18 delegates. Huckabee polled 567 votes, against Romney's 521 votes and McCain's 12 votes. This is a winner take all state, so all 18 delegates go to Mike Huckabee. But the Romney camp is crying foul.

A McCain vs Obama contest would be very interesting as both would look to take the "moderate" vote as it is termed over in the US. To me that would mean a very interesting contest for the politcial centre, and perhaps a more interesting fight than a Romney vs Clinton one where both have strong bases in their side of the political spectrum but do not stretch very far into the political centre.
