The end of Mike Huckabee  —  Liveblogging...  He's taking the stage at his Columbia HQ.  Huckabee says he just called McCain to congratulate him and thank him for a “civil,” “decent” campaign.  —  Huckabee slyly attacks Romney by praising himself and McCain for campaigning with “honor” instead of attacking someone else.

The Party of ... McCain?  —  For weeks, we've marveled at the GOP field's stubborn refusal to winnow itself.  With John McCain's victory tonight, we've finally achieved that belated winnowing.  In one quick burst, McCain has effectively knocked Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson …

From McCain's Crowd: “Go Fred Go!”  —  Another interesting scene from the McCain victory rally at The Citadel was one concerning Fred Thompson.  At about 9:00 p.m., a big screen showing Fox News put up pictures of McCain and Huckabee, side-by-side, with McCain having about a five-percentage-point lead.

Rudy Is Toast  —  How's that for a bold prediction?  Seriously, I think Mark Steyn had it exactly wrong this afternoon, when he wrote: … If Romney hadn't won Michigan, I could almost imagine something like this happening.  (Indeed, I did imagine it, back when it looked like Romney might flame out early.)

Mike Tackett / The Swamp:
South Carolina GOP race tight as a tick
The Corner:
This Race  —  The problem for the Republicans in this race is that none of them have received a majority of the vote.  The winner gets about one-third of the vote, and is declared the big winner (usually said to have momentum, or what have you).  Yes, he wins a plurality.
