Others share my view that
Rudy got a lift yesterday. Romney will not sweep the early states
and may be seriously if not fatally damaged. Thompson limped along
and will be there to continue to divide the social conservative
vote. The conservative establishment more than ever is now gunning
for Huckabee. (A nano-second passed after the election results were
in before I got my first Club for Growth email denouncing
Huckabee.) He does have tasks ahead: do well in the debate, make a
strong showing in NH and try to stay above the fray but still in
the mix( a tricky balance) until Florida. In short, it could have
worse. A lot worse.
