(CNN) — Why is the Georgia Republican race so tight? Because, as they are elsewhere tonight, conservative voters are splitting between Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney. McCain is winning easily there among Republicans who identified themselves as moderates or liberals — 40 percent of them are voting for the Arizona senator. But those voters only make up about a third of primary voters there. The 67 percent of Georgia voters who say they are conservative may be less inclined to support McCain — but they are splitting between Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney, who are each drawing roughly 40 percent of the conservative vote. If all that conservative vote went to one candidate, McCain would likely get blown out there. – CNN Political Analyst Bill Schneider Filed under: Bill Schneider • Georgia • John McCain |
