Bob McCarty Writes

I wanted to shake some sense into John McCain tonight as I watched him give the political equivalent of an end zone dance after defeating Mitt Romney in the Florida Republican primary. Doesn’t he know the big game — Super Tuesday, not the Super Bowl — is still a week away?

Mike Huckabee knows it. Speaking to supporters at a campaign rally in St. Louis tonight, he knew better than to use a football analogy to make it clear (so he chose Cardinals baseball):

“Let me just remind you that going into tonight, we were second in the delegate count. And more importantly, we are playing all nine innings in this ballgame. Even the Cardinals occasionally have a rough inning, but they know how to win championships.”
