With McCain losing by over 20 pts. and coming in 4th, how can the media say it's good news for him?

Honestly, how is it that the media are ready to coronate the man? He is one of the most recognized names and faces in American politics, and he failed to best Fred "fucking" Thompson.

Tweety has had a feverish boner over him all night, Brokaw just said that this caucus blew the race WIDE open for him, and the rest of the pundit-ocracy have been stretching their jowls waiting to fellate him.

What the fuck is the deal?

Coming in under Thompson is bad news for him.

He pretty much HAS to have a 1st in NH now.

who have decided on him as the only reasonable alternative to Hucklenuts.

The gop backroom power brokers know they have, not a field of dreams, but a field of nightmares,and IMO will default to McCain. Just saying.

This opens the door in NH for McCrazy

With Romney losing, supposedly this means that McCain gets the upper hand in NH.

depending on Huck to stop Mittens in Iowa and he will stop him in NH. Then McCain & Huck will fight it out in SC.

McCain is pretty popular in NH and he's been running ads relentlessly there for quite some time. Romeney is also populer there, though I don't know why, and McCain has been doing most of his campaigning there instead of in Iowa. The wildcard in NH will be Ron Paul, who's also advertising a lot in NH and whose libertarian nature is shared by many in NH.

to Mass. IF he was seen as a decent Pub Gov. in Mass. the surrounding States would know that.

Of course, a lot of NH hates Mass.

THat he was not seen as a decent pub governor or that lots of NH hates Mass?

as far as politics goes.

The motto on the NH license plate is "Live Free or Die," and that says somthing about the state right there. The "Manchester Union-Leader" has been an extremely right-wing paper for years. Traditionally, a lot of people have been conservative and/or libertarian in their views. Many still are. I'd say that's why Ron Paul is doing a lot of advertising there.

The population has increased in southern NH, with many moving up from Mass because the housing is more affordable. There have also been a number of Latino immigrants moving there. This is changing the face of NH somewhat. A number of NH natives think southern NH is getting too much like Mass and they don't like it. They think of Mass as (insert disparaging tone of voice) "liberal." Yes, Mass is more liberal than many places but it is not nearly as liberal as people think.

lol

ended up their candidate..

He thinks that they would switch to him to avoid the possibility of having to support a creepy preacher

Basically the theory goes, non evangelical Rpeublicans will freak out and vote for McCain in droves.

And with Romney injured, I think the Republican establishment is gonna throw all their support to McCain in order to stop Huckabee. Watch what happens with McCain fund-raising for the next few days, weeks.

Follow the money.
