The Fight Has Only Begun
McCain raked in a substantial number of delegates yesterday, taking almost every swing state from Romney. Current estimates show him now topping off at over five hundred delegates. However, most people do not realize that McCain victories last night were comprised of all the big delegate liberal states: New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois, and Connecticut.
You can look at it this way: McCain has now used up all his time outs. From here on in it is a majority of extremely conservative electorates that will be much, much less favorable to McCain. All the hype that will be coming from the media about his momentum might be in for a real shock. Remember, this is a marathon not a sprint.
With McCain losing credibility as a conservative among core republicans, and Romney showing his weakness as a candidate (little progress for spending millions of dollars), a great window of opportunity is opening up for Huckabee. The remainder of the states will be holding their primaries in smaller clusters from here on in, a factor that plays to Huckabee's advantage as he is unable to spend a lot of money in a short time.
For analysis on road ahead in the republican nomination and an outlook for Mike Huckabee's campaign, read the article below that was posted on the Living On Anon blog (good stuff):

liberal states have spoken, and from now until June 3, the conservative states will have their turn. Huckabee now has momentum, and I believe the rest of this primary is his to take.
In case you need to be reminded, Huckabee was once the national front runner. It is not just a dream that he could rise to such a position, he has been there before! Huckabee's chances are now as good as ever.
