Romney had a disappointing night, but for a northeastern Massachusetts candidate to garner 25% of the Iowa vote and come in 2nd is no small feat, even considering how much he spent. Had he spent little or average money there, he’d have finished 4th at best and possibly eliminated from contention. As it stands now, he’s still healthy and alive. (Editors note: I’m a Thompson supporter first and foremost)
Tkanks for your honest assessment. I am a Romney backer but would gladly back Fred. If Fred doesn’t rise up and we defeat Romney, either Huckabee or Guiliani will get the nomination. I don’t like the prospect.
