One other note: Mitt Romney carried the Republican caucuses in Minnesota. I was initially surprised until I remembered how poorly John McCain did here in 2000.

Mike Huckabee and Romney carried the day across the Range. I don’t know why Minnesota Republicans don’t like McCain so much, but they don’t.
