Huge win for McCain JMO. Sadly. The media will then start screaming for Romney to get out to continue their quest to select the Republican candidate.
I guess the dead are even getting up to vote

Paging Mr. Daley, paging Mr. Rendell!!!!! Too many dead folks showing up.....
That would fit in with their false polls. Remember Iowa? Over and over, "it's just too close to call."
For Obama would signal trouble for the GOP come election day.
Against Hillary would likely be neutral to slightly favoring GOP come election day.
We don’t know yet. The recent polls have shown a double digit lead for Mitt among registered republican voters in NH. It depends how many independents vote for McCain to offset that.
I think more people watched the Democrat Debate because it is pretty much down to two major players.
Also, it was on a Saturday.
The Republican Debate was on a weeknight if I recall correctly. Things are pretty fluid in the Republican race - Huckabee, Thompson, Giuliani, McCain. Once things narrow down in the Republican Race, I expect more interest from the general public.
Besides, Hillary is almost a media star - in a negative way - the villaness.
The Repubs can win this if they don’t nominate McCain and if they all get behind whoever is nominated. Either that or we get another Clinton or a HUSSEIN in the White House.
Half of Boston was there, for sure.
Wouldn’t this be bad news for Ron Paul also? Conventional wisdom says that the independent vote was what kept him in the running in New Hampshire.
In Texas, iirc, if you vote Dim in the primary, you can’t vote Repub in the general. Don’t know if it’s like that in every state.

Not sure. We’ll know in a little bit.
Well, it still doesn’t impact my other points.
I didn’t watch either.
I doubt very seriously that poll workers ask party affiliation for a general election.
Any registered voter can vote for any candidate on the ballot in a general election.
It is only in primaries that party ballots are issued.
The Secretary of State is a Democrat, and has every incentive to “hype” turnout.
Ah. (Do you know if the ScSt is a Hillorite or Obamaite?)
The Republican debate started at 7 pm and the Democrats started at 9 pm. Both debates were on ABC and moderated by Charles Gibson.
Jan. 5 Dem ABC 9,360,000
Jan. 5 GOP ABC 7,350,000
Intrade.com is now showing that the Democrats have a 62 percent chance of winning the Presidency in 2008.
One year ago, it was considered 50-50.
