As we watch what happens today in New Hampshire, read between the lines. You'll notice that Rudy does not exist as a candidate at this point and seems to think that he can float along until Super Tuesday next month. That's a long time to go in terms of media hype when he's losing ground to Romney every day. Romney seems to be getting most of the press as far as media coverage goes and he alone seems to be competitive in each state. Huckabee does not exist in New Hampshire but Romney was a factor in Iowa, won Wyoming and will be the big factor against McCain today. The Republican party seems to want to write McCain off and it's likely McCain will have a tough time the rest of the way. This is why Romney stands out as bulletproof as everybody else has to scrap and fight including the Democrats. The Obama hype is killing Hillary and let's face it Obama winning is much more fun for the media than Hillary winning...it's a big fat juicy story that will have them in a feeding frenzy. They get to revel in Obama winning and ogle Hillary as she goes down in flames. If Obama wins today it's gonna be a huge blow to Hillary because her campaign thought they owned New Hampshire. I think Edwards will continue to hang around but he faces a huge uphill climb and does not have the money Hillary or Obama have. I think he should stick around though as it's always possible that Hillary gets real dirty and her and Obama do each other in. It's gonna be rough though as the media promotes Obama like he's JFK, MLK, RFK, Jackie Robinson, and Richard Pryor all rolled into one person...something he certainly is not.

The big losers today will likely be Rudy and Hillary. Rudy because he will continue not to exist while McCain and Romney get a boatload of press (no primary is covered like New Hampshire!) and Hillary because if Obama wins today you will see the media have a totally X-Rated orgasm for days on tv, radio, and everywhere else...and hey, who doesn't want to be part of a huge orgasm?

So today, I think McCain wins, Romney keeps it close, and Obama wins maybe by double digits. I would at least love Edwards to take second again but that may be hoping for too much. Hillary is starting to look like she's already lost. Thompson drops out after today along with the others who just aren't going to make a dent.
