Mike Huckabee won the Kansas Republican caucuses Saturday, demonstrating the lingering rift in the party after rival John McCain was minted the clear front-runner Super Tuesday.
Kansas was the first of four states to hold contests for both parties Saturday. Final results showed Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor, with 60 percent, compared to 24 percent for McCain, the Arizona senator. Texas Congressman Ron Paul had 11 percent.
Huckabee captured all 36 of the delegates to the Republican National Convention from Kansas, according to The Associated Press. Another three delegates are party leaders who attend the convention no matter whom they support, and two of them have endorsed McCain.
Both McCain and Huckabee were wooing conservatives in the state Friday. Huckabee had the support of prominent anti-abortion activists, while McCain had the backing from conservative Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback. But McCain still is trying to reach out to conservatives, many of whom are skeptical of him for taking moderate positions on campaign finance, taxes and immigration. The Kansas caucuses could signal the difficulty of the road ahead for McCain in marshaling conservative enthusiasm for his campaign in the general election, if he is the nominee.

For those wondering...Dr. Nutz finished well behind "Uncomitted".

Sadly, that's not true, but he didn't miss finishing behind them by much. Nice to see that people are waking up to Dr. Nuts and his freak-show circus of followers.

I noticed that he did well (was it 11%?) in one of the caucuses tonight. I forget which one.

I don't know about you, but if 89 percent of the people DIDN'T vote for me, I wouldn't consider that "doing well". He did better than might have otherwise been expected--kind of along the same lines as being one of the smarter kids on the short bus.

I would MUCH rather have Huckabee than the other Feingold.
