DescriptionThat's the question on the tip of my tongue after tonight's results. I think Rudy has done the honorable thing in dropping out now that it has become clear that he isn't going to be the nominee. In so doing, Rudy has shown class, and a concern for the future of the party. He understands that after Florida he would be reduced to a non-candidate candidate who could merely siphon votes (largely from Sen. McCain) without any chance of actually winning. This wouldn't be good for the country, nevermind the party.

Now consider Huckabee. He's siphoning votes from somebody, and I believe that person is Gov. Romney. After his dismal performances in New Hampshire and Michigan and his underwhelming performances in South Carolina and Florida, it's clear that the Huckster has lost his groove.
