...After his vow to fight on, Romney's chief spokesman did his best to put a positive spin on the night, pointing to Huckabee's significant weaknesses as a serious rival to McCain. "We can make an electability argument that Mike Huckabee can't," said Kevin Madden. "He is limited in his regional appeal." Indeed, Huckabee has yet to garner a significant block of votes outside his mostly evangelical base, which is heavily concentrated in the South...

"The campaign has seized upon this equivalence between Michigan's problems and the nation's to explain away his losses in New Hampshire and Iowa. "Michigan is a microcosm of America," says Madden, implying that the earlier, and more influential, states shop for boutique candidates. Apparently South Carolina falls into that category as well, since Romney will likely bypass Saturday's primary in order to dominate the little-noticed Nevada Republican caucus...
