Has anyone done the math?
I did a really quick version and it doesn't seem impossible to me that McCain could fail to reach the magic number.
I am not saying Huckabee will reach it, just that McCain might struggle to reach if forced to run all the way...

Southern Ohio is pretty evangelical.
I had to put Texas in Huckabee's column but I think it might be possible.
I'm not saying this WILL HAPPEN, I'm saying the math is not THAT miraclous.
