Exit polls clearly showed that McCain's success to date was due to Romney and Huckabee splitting the vote of self-identified conservatives (I won't argue over who is or is not a "real" conservative). With Romney's official campaign ending, the self-described vast majority of conservatives will go to Huckabee. Huckabee will keep McCain from getting an outright majority of delegates (1245). Huckabee will is also not likely to get an outright majority. With no candidate getting an outright majority, stay tuned for a ruckus convention fight!
