Interesting analysis at MyManMitt. Claims they got the number of votes they expected to get, but were swamped by the evangelical turnout. Points out that no place else in the world has 50% evangelicals, not even SC. (To which I'd add Freepers have claimed SC evangelicals were more open to logic. I hope the Freepers are right as they'll get a chance to prove it.) And claims they achieved 2 of their top 3 goals tonight, although obviously not the win one: Fred beating McCain (up 300 votes with 7% to go) and Obama winning so the NH independents would be drawn to his bandwagon instead of McCain's.
Sure it's spin, but at least it's reasonable, logical spin.
Susan Estrich said tonight that John McCain was the Dems worst nightmare because he would draw the independents and pro-life Democrats. Just the opposite of what Romney's people are saying. Seems weird to me that someone who might vote for McCain would vote for Obama instead (or vice versa). The two seem polar opposites to me, even as liberal as McCain is. Seems like no matter where McCain ended up they would say he'll win NH. I've been following this all pretty closely and I've never heard anyone say they thought Romney could win NH. In fact, I've heard that they don't like him there, same as AR doesn't like Huckabee or Clinton. I think both opinions are probably as spun as cotton candy! LOL!
