...inevitability. But the wins don't appear to be enough to knock Mitt Romney nor the surprisingly resurgent Mike Huckabee out of the race quite yet. More worrisome is that McCain's soft vote tallies in southern states and the Bible Belt, as well as in exit poll results of conservatives across the country, exposed a profound weakness with the party's base...

...Reports of a Christian conservative takeover of the GOP have been exaggerated. While the evangelical right is a key part of the Republican coalition, it's not decisive - certainly not in a swing state. Sixty percent of Missouri voters in the Republican exit poll said they attend church least once a week. Even more - 76% - said abortion should be illegal. Yet the winner was not the first choice of evangelical Protestants opposed to abortion.

And in a blatant attempt at trying to make this a popular poll, the Commission will award a set of gold coins worth "several thousand euros" to one random person from those who chose the most popular design...

...from the couch for another beer, you were certain to miss a key play or substitution. A new poll in California, for instance, that showed Romney pulling ahead. Or another press conference in which McCain called out his chief rival as a big spender without backbone. Or the stump speech at Georgia Tech, where Romney told everyone that McCain would collapse the "house that Reagan built." Or a supporter, like former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who blurted out at a Nashville pancake place that Republican "bigwigs" were "lining up like lemmings" behind McCain. Or another endorsement. Or another television...
