— Huge win for Romney. For reasons that are beyond obvious. Romney’s right back in the game.
— Very strong showing for McCain. But, still, 2nd place is a country mile from 1st place. The question now is whether this result will kill his prior momentum in South Carolina and Florida. Time will tell.
— Good showing for Huckabee. For him to have obtained around 15%, in a three-candidate open primary, in a Northern state, is nothing at which to sneeze. Especially given the fact South Carolina — far more conservative on abortion and other social issues — is the very next primary. Huckabee still is a major contender.
