You might not know it, but Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, and Hillary Clinton are holding onto this race by their fingernails. And for different reasons.
Mr. Huckabee is low on funds, but of course that’s nothing new. He has been since last November. His delegate totals are far behind frontrunner McCain’s and the media scarcely mentions his name anymore. Ron Paul has about $8 million to spend and is extremely disciplined and efficient with his campaign expenditures. His delegates aren’t competitive and once again, the media act as though he doesn’t exist.
Hillary Clinton is a somewhat different story. She too is cash strapped, having to augment her campaign with personal funds, but her delegates and much higher profile are not to be overlooked by the mainstream media. They are quick, however, to stack the deck when things turn south – even by the slimmest margins. There are now reporting that she is fading in Ohio.
These three may be hanging on by their fingernails, but I’ll wager Hillary’s are longest.
Next Stops: Ohio, Texas, Vermont, and Rhode Island.
