Hewitt: Easy W for Mitt


Hugh give us his take:

Romney Wins Easily

Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 9:01 PM


John McCain lost a sizeable lead in Michigan lead and with it the MSM momentum.

Mike Huckabee threw everything trying to recreate the Iowa upset and fell far short, and has now wounded himself with the argument about amending the Constitution to reflect "God's law." (See Andy McCarthy's short but devastating commentary.)

And Mitt Romney has now re-established himself as the candidate to beat over the very long campaign.

The key? As Rush said this morning: A McCain or Huckabee nomination would be a disaster for the GOP because they are not Reagan conservatives. Republicans are now voting in large numbers, and they are voting for the Reagan conservative. There is no reason to believe that John McCain will be able to recapture his New Hampshire moment or Huck his Iowa surprise.

Update: With 31% report Mitt has a 9-point lead over McCain.

Romney: 39%

McCain: 30%

Now, that's a whoopin!
