So, my predictions were wrong. Obama takes it for the Dems, with Edwards narrowly edging out Clinton for second. Huckabee comes from nowhere to win for the Republicans, and beats Romney decisively. Now, on to New Hampshire.
It seems that for McCain, things couldn't have turned out better. He comes in third, with Romney on the defensive and lead quickly eroding in New Hampshire. McCain certainly needs a strong showing in New Hampshire to go on, but if he can pull it off, he will be in good shape.
For Romney, he is in trouble. Better win in New Hampshire or he's done.
For the Dems, Obama is becoming unstoppable. New Hampshire is obviously a must-win for Clinton, and Edwards' second place finish will make things fun.
Biden and Dodd will call it quits today as well. Will they endorse?
