Romney wins Nevada--and the Soap Opera Contiues

Or so it seems--likely, obviously so. So Huckabee wins Iowa, McCain wins New Hampshire, Romney wins Wyoming and Nevada, and South Carolina looks to go to either McCain or Huckabee. At this rate, the GOP front-runner might be hard to discern *after* super Tuesday.

I can't see McCain losing Arizona or California. Huckabee will be, obviously, hard to beat in Arkansas and will be formidable in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama (though Rich Lowry doesn't think he has a chance, ultimately). In New York and New England...seems like a fight to the death between Romney (Gov of Massachusetts), Giuliani (Mayor of NY and hero of 9/11), and McCain (winner of NH primary and appealing to Independents). MN and ND...who knows? And, of course, Giuliani has a great shot in FL prior to super Tuesday and that could upset the whole thing. But if McCain wins FL and SC, then goes on to win CA...seems like there will be a pseudo-clear winner at that point. A candidate that can win in the North East, the South, and the West...? Hard not to get behind him.

But I have no idea. It's just exciting to see that there is real competition in a democracy vs a coronation of the candidate who has "earned his turn." The only thing that would make this more interesting is if a woman or a minority were running along side of them.
