That's only if you count superdelegates. They're not binding and don't "vote" until the convention. Pledged delegates are all that matter at this stage.

 

If they've declared, it's being counted. If they change their minds, the tote board will change.

 

The winner of the pledged delegate race will be the nominee. If the party allows the supers to overrule the people's vote, it's general election suicide. So pledged delegates are all that matter at this point.

The evans' flex their regional muscle . . .

 

Oh, yeah. But that margin, especially with things already decided, has to have alarm bells ringing over at Straight Talkin' John's shop.

 

It's over (ceptin vp). But they're turning out, and making a point. Give them credit --- they're supporting their boy.

 

Final Kansas GOP tally:

Huckabee 60%
McCain 24%
Paul 11%

Or, if you work for the presumptive nominee, 71 percent for Not-Your-Guy.

Mike Huckabee is your GOP Veep Nominee, folks. I don't think McCain could stop that now if he wanted to.
