UPDATE: Okay, so I couldn't resist quoting Hewitt: "Romney's
argument blows past the chattering classes working on old models.
When Romney had to beat a dominant Rudy Giuliani, he had to win one
or both of Iowa and New Hampshire. The fall of Rudy leaves a wide
open field, and Romney's two second palace showings in Iowa and New
Hampshire along with a win in Wyoming means he's in the thick of
race."
Silly me. I guess I just don't understand the genius of losing
two states you had spent tens of millions of dollars on with
initial hopes of using them to vault to the nomination. It must be
the Bain way.
