For The Record


The notoriously thorough and evidence-based Bill Kristol writes in today's New York Times:


On Tuesday night, while the G.O.P. Congressional candidate was losing in a Mississippi district George Bush carried in 2004 by 25 points, Barack Obama was being trounced in the West Virginia Democratic primary — by 41 points. I can’t find a single recent instance of a candidate who ultimately became his party’s nominee losing a primary by this kind of margin.


Well.

Arkansas

Huckabee 61% (136,216)

Utah

Look harder!
