I like the idea. In real life, momentum from previous primaries plays a huge role. Anyone who plays President Forever knows that.

Yep. I'm glad Obama and Huckabee won New Hampshire. I'm also glad that McCain's great showing in Iowa provided him with momentum in NH.No doubt Romeny's Michigan win helped him in South Carolina.

Huckabee wouldn't have been a serious contender had it not been for Iowa. Obama's win in Iowa proved that he could compete with Clinton, and he was a serious candidate.

Wrong. This is about momentum. The momentum shifted away from Obama and Huckabee following their Iowa wins. I don't care what it "proved." It didn't help them in New Hampshire.
