Well, I am surprised. Romney won it. By 8 votes. A virtual tie with Santorum. Paul was behind them by a few thousand votes, close enough to call it top tier, and his supporters are trying to spin it as a win, but it wasn’t.
Farewell, Michele
And Bachmann’s out. That one surprised the hell out of me. I thought she was on a holy mission. I guess it was just a misunderstanding between her and God. She heard God say “Michele, you should run for president.” But what God actually said was “Michele, you should be in a mental institution.”
I’ll miss her. The presidential race just got a little bit less colorful, a little bit less comical, a little bit grimmer. Without her and Herman Cain, it’s angry white men all the way.
We’ve still got Rick Perry for the comedy. And Newt.
A couple other things make me think this race is going to get a lot nastier and dirtier real soon. Newt Gingrich calling Mitt Romney a liar, and Ron Paul calling Newt Gingrich a chicken-hawk. And neither one backing down.
So, here’s how I see it shaking down. Romney will take New Hampshire, but Santorum, and Huntsman, might make some inroads. Paul will pull 20 -25%.
Then comes South Carolina and the wheels fall off the bus, because that’s just the way South Carolina is. Gingrich and Perry will both have a bit of a resurgence, being the southerners in the race. Basically, I think everybody that is still in, still has a shot.
