I can't say that I think this is a good thing. I hate to say it, but it does look like Paul cost Romney these votes. I can’t say that I think this is a good thing.

Every state Huckabee wins is a state that McCain doesn't win. Romney has even been somewhat concilatory over the past few days by recognizing this. Stopping McCain in CA, which it looks like Romney has done, will prove far more valuable than losing to Huckabee in any state.
