Was anyone surprised by the results of Super Tuesday?
I personally didn't think that Mike Huckabee was going to do so well. But, he is a Southerner, and we Southerners tend to vote for the candidate from our region.
This trend, however, hasn't proved true in the Democrat race. Hillary, who's originally from Illinois but served as the First Lady of Arkansas during Bill's terms as governor, probably appeals to many of us back home because of her connections to the region, but Barack has taken a slight majority of the Southern states -- South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Missouri -- while Hillary only prevailed in Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee (my beloved home state, which is why I was a little sad to see Fred Thompson leave the race).
So, I'm personally very interested to see who'll win the remaining Southern states for the Democrats, with Louisiana (Feb. 9), Virginia (Feb. 12), Mississippi (March 11), North Carolina (May 6) and Kentucky (May 20) left to vote.
