I've waited until 50% of the Precincts reported in before I posted this, because I think that the media has gotten all to comfortable calling the election, even if it is just a primary, way to early. ABCNews.com called the primary for Mitt when less then 10% of the precincts had reported in (I'm not lying). I still remember in 2000 when we didn't know who was our next President for days and I also remember all the elections afterwards where the media when they got scared to call the state said it was "too close to call" now they are all jumping to call a primary within 30mins after polls closed. I think we should be very careful about doing that seeing how crazy this primary has been. Alright enough about the early reporting.

I'm going to give y'all my take on Mitt winning the Michigan Primary. All the political news that I soak up within a week I think qualifies me to give my take on the primary result so here I go!

First I want to say Congrats to Mitt for his first primary victory that actually matters. So far the primary voters have basically told us they like Huckabee (so do I!), McCain, and Mitt. Mitt's latest win means that there is no real front runner in this race. McCain is leading the national polls but he is far from being considered the front runner. Mitt's win basically gives him additional life in this process, he may even have enough life to go all the way Super Tuesday witch is very likely. The only thing that would prevent Mitt from making it to Super Tuesday is placing third in a primary witch is likely to happen.

What does this mean for McCain?

Mitt's in means almost nothing to McCain. Is it a lost for McCain? of course. But is it one that could derail McCain? No. Seeing that Mitt, McCain and Huckabee has each won a primary Mitt's win doesn't narrow the field in anyway. McCain can still go into the next primary witch is Saturday with some injury but nothing major. However the South Carolina primary will be vary hard for McCain to carry and it may lead to the beginning of the end for McCain. McCain has secured himself a place on the Republican ticket regardless of who actually gets the nomination, but rather he accepts a second place spot is entirely up to him. I just can't see a Romney-Mccain ticket. I can't even really see a Romney on a ticket Republican or Demoratic come to think of it.

What does this mean for Huckabee!?

Ah! My favorite out of all the candidates. This is probably going to be the easiest part of this blog to write because I've been watching Huckabee a little bit before his surge. I was a supporter of his when he barely had any money to report he raised and I must say that he has come a long way. Anyone who looks at what Huckabee is doing has to admit that what he has been able to accomplish is amazing. For those of you who don't know I will share a little with you, and no I'm not going to rave about him being a preacher..that's not whats important to me.

Huckabee a few months ago was running below 5th place and no one seriously thought he had a chance to win a primary. He had no money, no major endorsements from the leaders of the right wing of the Republican party, he had no money (he barely has any now), and he has been harshly criticized for his record as a Governor of Arkansas however he won the New Hampshire primary by a wide margin over Romney.

So you say but he hasn't won a primary since and he mainstream of the party doesn't support him so he doesn't have a shot. That's what many people believe, it's true that he hasn't won a primary since it's also true that no other Republican candidate has either. Huckabee in my opinion is well place in this primary contest. He has one win under his belt and in all of the other primary contest he has ranked 3rd. Huckabee become a dark horse again. His third place finishes position him to come in and replace one of the current top two when one of them fall, most likely it will be Mitt. Huckabee is expected to do very well in the South witch has two primaries coming this month in South Carolina and Florida. Where he will place no less then second place, and I'm going to predict he places first in South Carolina becoming the first Republican to win two primaries in this race. So I think Mitt's win in New Hampshire today is a good thing for Huckabee, because it doesn't allow either Mccain or Mitt to come down south with any major momentum.

If Mitt places anything below second place, witch is likely in the South, his presidential bid will be history and he will probably go back with into private life with a substantially smaller bank balance. He surely won't be missed by the Republican Party...but the TV networks and his campaign staff will remember him fondly because of how much money they wasted...I mean made working to help elect (derail) him President.
