1. I think NH means we have four viable candidates, anything can happen,

and Feb 3 is the biggie.

Geez...

[BlueStateGirl]

2. If they tie, they both stay in and duke it Feb. 3rd.

3. It's fascinating. They go to SC on level footing.

6. It means it's on...

...like Donkey Kong...

This battle is far from over...

[TomNickell]

7. Probably good for Kerry....

These guys are likely to divide up the opposition vote in the next primaries. Plus Dean, of course.

9. It means they should quit...

:D

[TheDonkey]

10. The South is very much in play for those 2

Dean is going to be hurt most.

Kerry still needs to campaign his *** off.

11. I actually think

taht the more important question is what the front runner status does to the field. Kery will be the target of Dean, Clark, and Edwards. I think he is vulnerable and will lose some support as he takes body blows.

The question will be--who will be able to parlay that loss of support (I really DO think it's a fait accompli) into votes, Dean, Clark, or Edwards?

12. They'll split the anti-yankee vote.

--> good news for Kerry, Dean, and Lieberman.

13. It means we're still viable if it's close

If we (Clark) get routed, then its a little more bleak. Bottom line, I will never quit fighting to restore American principles and promise no matter how accepting the majority is of this dream of pre-emptive war to control the greater world instead of promoting America's original values.

14. It means the media

did such a hit on Clark.
