They have an excuse for everything. I think that after NH, they’re going to need a lot more excuses though.
There certainly won't be any joy in Mudville after New Hampshire. Ted's going to come in third on Tuesday night, and they're going to be moping around here like heartbroken kids.
They'll be positively suicidal when Ted loses South Carolina to Trump, and it'll be downhill from there. Ted just doesn't have the sort of widespread support to take the whole thing. Like Santorum and Huckabee before him, he got his one win of the race, and now he's done.
It's all over except for the crying, now.
