Romney loses momentum as Huckabee regains ground

Romney loses momentum as Huckabee regains ground

Mitt Romney, the clearest loser from Super Tuesday, today gathered his advisers for an early-morning meeting in Boston to review the future of his campaign although his team insisted the fight for the Republican nomination will continue.
With a disappointing haul of six victories, two of which were in his "home" states of Massachusetts and Utah, the businessman-turned-politician fell victim to a southern resurgence by rival conservative Mike Huckabee.

With just 268 delegates in the bag, Romney faces a mathematical mountain to catch John McCain's running total of 615.

...Republican strategists say Romney must prove he can win in the south in order to remain viable - which means a victory in either Virginia or Maryland next week to keep him in the race until the Texas battle on March 4, where McCain has traditionally been unpopular.


I think Huckabee is still in the race. He's gonna have to battle it out with Romney because McCain is far ahead. But anything is possible.
