Huckabee - Clinton Win in Arab
Huckabee - Obama Win Alabama

February 5, 2008
Republican candidate Mike Huckabee and Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton were the big winners among the Arab voters on Super Tuesday.  Interestingly, Republican voters outnumbered Democratic voters more than 2 to 1.  Some 1,601 voters voted Republican while 729 voters went Democratic. 

Mike Huckabee received 719 total votes or 44.9%, outpolling John McCain's 494 (30.1%) votes by a 225 vote margin.  Romney ran a distant third with 314 votes (19.6%).  Ron Paul was fourth with 53 (3.3%).  Other votes went to: Fred Thompson - 8, Alan Keyes - 3, Duncan Hunter - 1, Rudy Guiliani - 1, uncommitted - 7.  Thompson, Hunter and Guiliani withdrew from the Republican race prior to the Super Tuesday vote.

Hillary Clinton, who garnered 567 votes (77.7%), easily defeated Barack Obama who polled 140 total votes (19.3%).  Clinton's margin was 427 votes.  Clinton and Obama are the only candidates remaining on the Democratic ticket after all other candidates withdrew.  Of those who have withdrawn, John Edwards received 11 votes, Joseph Biden - 2, Richardson - 1, Chris Dodd - 1 and uncommitted - 7.

Huckabee also carried Marshall County and Alabama. The Associated Press projected very early that Huckabee would win the state and with 90% of the Republican vote counted he was leading with 41% to McCain's 38% and Romney's 18%.

While Clinton won easily in Arab and Marshall County, Barack Obama won at the state level with 56% of the vote to Clinton's 42%.
