Bad Night for the GOP

It was a good night for the Democrats. A huge voter turnout gave the nod to Obama but Edwards and Clinton still had a good night and go forward to New Hampshire with nothing to be ashamed about.
The final numbers say it all when it comes to a national view.

Total Voter Turnout (approximate)

356,000

Percentage of total vote

24.5% Obama
20.5% Edwards
19.8% Clinton
11.4% Huckabee (R)

The majority of the GOP in this country must be having kittens this morning after seeing the results. If Huckabee is the best they can offer and all three of the leading Dems can trounce him then what is the rest of the year going to look like?
We had a term for signal intelligence targets back when I was spying that couldn't be found on the air. I think it applies very appropriately to a potential presidential candidate like Huckabee. It was "nil-heard".
