Mitt's bad Super Tuesday started with him getting jacked by a Mike Huckabee-<strong.John McCain tag team in the West Virginia caucus, and that theme pretty much carried on as the returns from other states started rolling in. McCain bagged elephant fields of delegates in California and the Northeast, while Huckabee scored far more than was expected with a strong showing in the South.
