Any hope that Mike Huckabee had of pulling off an upset in Texas is pretty much dead:
The new survey indicates John McCain is the clear favorite in Texas for the Republican presidential nomination. Among likely Republican primary voters, 56 percent said the senator from Arizona is their choice for nominee.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee won the backing of 31 percent of those questioned, and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas was at 9 percent. These numbers are virtually unchanged from last week’s poll. The survey’s sampling error for Republican respondents is also plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
Let’s put it this way, if the Huckster doesn’t drop out after he loses Texas and Ohio, he’s pretty much the shameless opportunist I always thought he was.
As for Ron Paul, what he does depends on what happens in the race for TX-14
