Thought I'd start a thread on people's reactions to the Super Duper Tuesday results.
A couple of thoughts to throw out.
1. Everybody thought John McCain would have it all wrapped up by last night. He will probably win the nomination, but it's not a done deal, and so our Vermont primary will be significant for the Republicans as well as the Democrats. Is McCain, who won the 2000 primary here, poised for a Vermont repeat on March 4?
2. If Mike Huckabee hadn't won Iowa, he might be gone by now, and with him not in the mix, Mitt Romney might well be the GOP frontrunner right now, given the fact that last night, his and Huckabee's votes in many states outnumbered McCain's by a mile.
3. Everyone says the 'mo is with Obama, but Hillary Clinton showed again that she's a very resilient candidate. The last poll on the race here, by WCAX in October, gave her 47 percent and Obama 15 percent. Everyone says Obama will win this state, but I'm not so sure.
