The only hope the R's ever had was to UNITE behind a candidate EARLY ON. This thing's got a lot of ugliness left, and the R's are eating their young before our eyes.

I don't think it was a record final voter turnout, either, which was one thing the Dems didn't want to see.

it is early on, mike. it's not as if the nomination fight is going to drag on much longer.

romney has money and organization. he'll be the nominee and get the support of all but the narrowest band of registered republicans in november.

it's a fight for independents from here on. the rest of the primaries are a sideshow before the inevitable occurs. no serious damage is being done. no one will remember much about january in august.

He'll be the nominee, but some are starting to wonder aloud if Gingrich is actually being paid by the Democrats We'll see this Sat/Sun when the next debate happens in NH. Gingrich angry is Gingrich stupid - and he has nothing to lose now being foolish in his aggressive vindiction to go after Romney.

True. But Romney is blowing it bigtime. His instincts were right the first time, don't worry about Iowa, it's just the evangelical vote. Don't go there. I think Romney has made a big mistake changing his plan, and hitting it as hard as he could. Now he's got reels of soundbites of crazy he'll never be able to take back, much to the Democrats glee.

Romney might be taken out. Nobody though Hillary could lose, either. NH will be boring, but South Carolina will be awesome.
