40%

It strikes me as strange that McCain could be declared the presumptive nominee without crossing 40% in a single state. If the Mittster wins in CA, maybe he is rejuvenated, but if not could McCain knock out his biggest rival without gaining a majority in a single state? Even when the Democratic race was a three way, candidates were able to score big wins (Obama SC is the most obvious one). Can McCain really claim the same? I know he has been leaning on Huckabee to keep Romney down, but if Romney were to drop out, would that really cause the party establishment to coalesce around him? I don't know. As someone who wants to see the Republican party destroy itself, I don't think I could ask for a better trend and better results so far this evening.

No wonder Rush Limbaugh is blowing a gasket. In reality, if I were a Romney supporter, my head probably would have exploded by now.
