Yeah, I never expected Huntsman to quit with a 3rd place finish in New Hampshire.  It would be enough to keep him going till Florida and hope for a slightly thinned out field after South Carolina.  He won't last long after Florida, of course, if at all.

Looks like Santorum is pulling closer to Gingrich in recent returns, so 4th place might not be decided for a while.

Santorum is now only 54 votes behind Gingrich.

There must be one or two interesting bar fights in the area of Roxbury, Nelson and Sullivan.

The final tally will be interesting to see tomorrow.  Right now, on Google, nobody below 3rd is above 10%.

Damn, John; did the bottles hold beer or baijiu?

Rove and Trippi call Romney the "presumptive nominee"

I'm sure Romney will be the nominee.  But Iowa still has a week to certify its vote, doesn't it?  If they end up calling Santorum getting 12 more votes than Romney in Iowa, the narrative going into the South Carolina vote might not be so clear-cut.

Rick Santorum sounds so depressed for not finishing better in a state he didn't even compete in.

He competed there, and I'm sure he would have preferred to go into South Carolina either with a little more momentum or at least with Romney's stride a little broken.  The way it is, he doesn't so much get to go head-to-head against Romney in the next contest after the squeaker in Iowa, but instead his main competitor for the anti-Romney vote in South Carolina will be Gingrich.

Santorum must have gravitational effects or something -- he always finishes within 1% of the nearest competitor.

LOL, Ron Paul finished second in the Democratic primary, too.

If these numbers are right, I gotta admit, that just entirely rocks!  Guess Paul really did make history on Tuesday, eh?
