I don't know who each of you support, but this sure is starting to get fun.
3 Republican races, 2 Democratic races. 5 races total and we haven't had a repeat winner yet.
On the Democratic side, one candidate of inevitability was replaced by another candidate of inevitability, only to have us revert back to the original candidate of inevitability.
Thompson got pounded in New Hampshire (6th) but this was no surprise to anyone.
Just remember that 4th through 7th pay the same number of delegates (0) so it's not really relevant. In the overall Republican delegate count, Thompson is a solid 4th, 24 behind the leader. So he is still, very much in contention. Giuiliani, on the other hand, is tied for 6th with Duncan Hunter and behind Ron Paul. Yet, the media still fawns over Rudy like he is the leader.
On the Democratic side, Hillary's win was a devastating blow to Obama. Because of the number of At-Large, pledged delegates, Obama needed a knockout punch early. Iowa staggered the wicked witch, but she regained her footing. At least for now, she is once again, the clear frontrunner, with a lead of more than 100 delegates over Obama and more than 130 over Edwards. It's hard to see Edwards staying alive much longer.
