If anything, a McCain win means there is NO clear frontrunner. At this point, barring a collapse, Huckabee should do rather well in the Republican's power base: the South. The real question as I see it now is if Rudy can perform well in some of the larger states, otherwise I think Huckabee will be able to build a coalition of support from the South, Midwest, and smaller showings in other states to get to the needed delegate count. If Romney does not crash, he should still do well out west in places like Idaho, Utah, and Nevada. McCain might be able to survive on a New Hampshire win to win some Southwest states. Quite frankly, I think the most likely scenario for the Republicans as of now is a brokered convention, in which case lazy man Thompson still has his shot.
