McCain and Romney are in another death match in
Michigan. If Romney doesn’t win in his home state it would seem he
really is finito. The silver medal stuff only goes so far. McCain
could likely survive a loss there but it would dampen certainly his
momentum. Both will have to go all out while Huckabee and Thompson
spend virtually all their time in South Carolina. In a day or so
we’ll see if McCain gets his NH bounce. But what we learned from
Obama is the bounce may not last five days let alone a full week.
Those darn voters are going to vote they way they want. South
Carolina by the way has a great record ( e.g. Bush in 2000, Reagan
in 1980) of ignoring NH.
