McCain and Huck in Virginia   [Byron York]

In the newly-release exit polls on the too-close-to-call race between John McCain and Mike Huckabee in Virginia, Huckabee is winning big among Republican voters who call themselves very conservative, and McCain is winning among everybody else. The exit polls show McCain beating Huckabee, 64 percent to 30 percent, among the 27 percent of the Republican electorate who describe themselves as moderate.  McCain wins, 44 to 40, among people – 33 percent of the GOP electorate – who describe themselves as somewhat conservative.  But Huckabee wins really, really big, 70 percent to 21 percent, among the largest single group – the 34 percent who call themselves very conservative.
