Jeez, this is giving me a headache. #2: I don't think that's what's going on. McCain's supporters are more "silent majority" types, and caucuses disproportionately attract the more rabid supporters (Advangage: Huck). Now that he's the nominee and bringing in contributions by the boatload (I hope) he should be able to build an organization to help him make up for that lack of passion among his supporters, but he isn't there yet. #1: And, if I’m not mistaken, the delegates — while officially uncommitted — are unofficially committed to McCain.

I can understand theocons voting for him, but why would anti-McCain voters in general give him their support? Is there any sense in which this isn't a temper tantrum? "I didn't major in math, I majored in miracles" . . . what a tool. Huckabee is to McCain’s left on, like, everything.

“I didn’t major in math, I majored in miracles” . . . what a tool.

LA's delegates will be uncommitted at the Convention. Also, WA has a <i>primary</i> later this month in which more delegates will be awarded. I have a feeling McCain will do better then.
