The GOP race is still wide open. So much for McCain running away with it.
Money quote from Andrew Sullivan:
If Romney retools his campaign and presents himself as a moderate businessman able to bring better management to Washington, he finally has a message that could work. Of course, it’s just the latest poll-tested cynical ploy. But it’s working for Clinton! And she and Romney have one thing in common: two focus-grouped cynical dynastic holograms.
I need a drink.
Guiliani must be happy tonight, but I still think he’s toast. He’s pitching his tax cuts hard, as his “scare the shit out of everyone strategy of constantly mentioning 9/11” hasn’t worked. I’ll be surprised if he makes a comeback, but nothing should surprise us on the GOP side.
If it comes down to Romney, Huckabee and McCain, I think Romney has a real chance. That’s good news for Democrats, as Romney will get crushed in the general. McCain and Giuliani are the only GOP candidates that have a chance in the general.
The happiest guy tonight should be Michael Bloomberg. Hillary is still the favorite, and McCain took a real hit tonight. If Hillary and anyone other than McCain are the nominees, Bloomberg has a real chance to win if he enters the race.
