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.
