So, Romney got it. What does this mean? Will this help Giuliani? Huckabee, McCain and Romney have all one an important one. South Carolina is looking as if it's going to be close. If Giuliani comes in and wins Florida, will this put him back in the running? I mean, it looks like he has a decent shot at a lot of Super Tuesday states. What does everyone think?

I think this will only help Romney himself and hurt McCain. South Carolina probably wont go for McCain now obviously..and Romney will remain the "frontrunner" despite all these polls that called McCain the frontrunner because of his "zomg super fantastic" win in New Hampshire.

It helps everyone except McCain, because if McCain had won it the race would be over. But obviously Romney benefits most.

I think Huckabee benefits most from this.  Romney beating McCain will deflate McCain's NH balloon returning the SC lead to Huckabee.  And I think Huckabee would be able to use the SC win to catapult himself to a win in Florida.  If McCain loses Nevada to Romney, which seems likely, he is probably done and Feb 5th will end up mostly being be a battle between Huckabee and Romney.

I see Romney having a good chance at Nevada now because of this, and South Carolina probably goes a bit more for Huckabee.
