Let them divide themselves..the Christian values clans have figured out they have been used by the corporate thugs like Romney and club for Growth, to make the no-tax Republicans rich. Huckabee is really just a good-ol boy and that what scares the elitist Republicans.

I see the Northeast going Romney, the South Huckabee. West & California? I don't know, but this is sure to put a deep cleavage into the Republican Party and the fault line is the Mason-Dixon line. Nixon's Southern Strategy is falling apart.  Along with tonight's repudiation of Republican-lite, it could mean that relief is on the way for working America.

McCain should win in New Hampshire.  But he will have a fight to take down Huckabee.  Romney is finished, a skid of a haircut of a carwreck.

McCain is not so clearly Wall Street's man. More of a whore, he is anyone's man who has the price, which is low. A cheap whore. If he displaces Romney, my analysis fails. And the GOP limps on.

I know this is your favorite theory, Booman, but I don't buy it. If McCain finishes better than third in New Hampshire, I'll donate $20 to the Dem candidate of your choice.
