McCain gave a very good speech tonight.

I don't like to brag, but I did call a comeback for McCain.

Isn't Michigan next? How does Romney look in those polls? I am assuming he would be strong due to family ties to the state.

Over 50% reporting and Clinton still up by 4%. This is freaky. Zogby had Barack up by 13% just this morning.

No kidding. This would be huge for Hillary.

AP just called it for Hillary, although CNN still thinks it's too close to call. It seems like Hillary will win, but likely by a margin slimmer than the current 3%.

Exactly. Last time I checked, the winner of the nomination is the one that receives the required number of DELEGATES, not first place finishes in each primary. Romney is second in the delegates race right now. If he wins MI, he will be in the delegates lead. The current RCP Michigan average of polls has Romney up by 1 over Huck.

Also, Romney does not have to worry about running out of money, unlike other candidates that might be badly hurt in the pocket book by finishing second twice. Nevada is after Michigan which Romney has been doing very well in also.
This is still a 3 or 4 horse race. Anyone calling McCain the frontrunner now is an idiot.

The problem is that in national polls, Romney is doing poorly. That bodes poorly for Super Tues.

From the exit polls, it appears the younger voters didn't turn out in NH in the numbers they turned out in Iowa. That and McCain's competition for the swing independents may have made the difference.

Clinton got half of the female vote, but only 25% of single men voted for her. I find that last part really funny.

Didn't McCain do really well in NH in 2000, too?
