It's been an interesting 24 hours or so. Be prepared for this headline: "Comeback kids ___________."
McCain makes good on Wevoteprocat's prediction: old fart finishes first. The old man rolls into South Carolina with poise and confidence. Huckabee doesn't look so invincible.
You'll hear plenty about the winners today, but what about New Hampshire's less fortunate?
Obama's close silver medal makes his front runner status a little less comfortable.
One prevailing yet somewhat frivolous argument in support of the Obama candidacy is in question after last night's results: people are sick of the political dynasties. New Hampshire women didn't buy that notion, and the rest of the country may grow more comfortable with the idea of a new Clinton era. Obama also barks back at Slick Willy.
Romney is on the rocks. Some say it's a question of 'authenticity.' Get out!
Giuliani employs a strange strategy, but it might work. New Hampshire has a big influence, but it's one state.
Our man Edwards takes his bronze in stride. He's still in it for the long haul. Things don't look good for the best hair in this race. What could he do after the inevitable loss? His Senate seat is long gone, and a third attempt would be difficult if a Dem wins the White House (Note to Obama or Hillary, think Secretary of Labor or HUD). Obama can lose this election and still have a better political career than any candidate. Edwards can't make that claim. Hillary could continue fighting the good fight in the Senate, but what might have been would certainly taint her political career.
Look for Wevoteprocat's exclusive Thermometer in tomorrow's edition.
