The end of Mike Huckabee  —  Liveblogging...  He's taking the stage at his Columbia HQ.  Huckabee says he just called McCain to congratulate him and thank him for a “civil,” “decent” campaign.  —  Huckabee slyly attacks Romney by praising himself and McCain for campaigning with “honor” instead of attacking someone else.

This Race  —  The problem for the Republicans in this race is that none of them have received a majority of the vote.  The winner gets about one-third of the vote, and is declared the big winner (usually said to have momentum, or what have you).  Yes, he wins a plurality.
