Opinionated Comments on Tomorrow's New Hampshire Primary


I didn't have to wait for my daily dose of Rush Limbaugh* to reach the conclusion that ONE PRIMARY AND ONE CAUCUS DO NOT A PRIMARY SEASON MAKE! We will have many more twists and turns before the general election takes place.

Despite what Drudge and various other pundits may claim, it's still too early to write off Sen. Clinton or Gov. Romney yet, if only because they have enough cash reserves to keep going for quite a long time. Conservative commentators everywhere sincerely want Hillary to hang in there until the Democratic convention, nay, even until the general election, since she provides so many ready-made opportunities for satire, parody, and snide remarks. The conventional wisdom has Obama and McCain (maybe Romney) leading in New Hampshire, but Fred Thompson may have a chance in South Carolina, and there's still the possibility that Rudy Giuliani will be able to harvest many delegates from the larger states still waiting for their primaries.
