“I think you’re right. The early state strategy is all about “The Big Mo’”, but, so far, no man has won two states in a row. That bodes well for those who focused on later states, meaning Rudy and, to a lesser extent, Fred. It certainly does not help those who’ve spent their wad in Iowa and New Hampshire.”
Rudy is toast. You don’t get a nomination by being in single digits in the first 5 states. It just doesnt happen. Unless he wins real big in FL, which I dont see happening, he’s a no-show.
And Fred... we’ll he put a stake in the ground in Iowa and got 3rd. Now he’s standing his ground in SC. He will need to be 1st, or at a minimum beat Huckabee decisively, to stay viable.
Romney is winning the nomination the right way. He’s been in every state and either won or placed. He’s going to make an effort in SC and in FL and is still in the race unless he drops off badly there. He won’t imho. Romney will probably win NV.
McCain lost MI but can recover if he wins SC. Then on to FL where it’s a battle royale.
At this point, it looks like the two candidates with the best paths to nomination are McCain and Romney. Huck, Rudy and Thompson have a chance, albeit slim, and its still an open race. Thank you Mitt for slowing down the McCain amnesty express!!!
What a reat night! Mitt has stopped McCain, revitalized his own campaign, and proven the MSM wrong! We conservatives and Republicans are the big winners here.
And Hillary! 45% of her own party go out into the cold and snow just to record a vote against her! There are no actual delegates at stake and no other candidates to support.
We have a chance to win this thing!
