The Plot Thickens

I know I'm a nerd for liking politics. But this year's Presidential race continues to get very interesting. Unlike last time, where it was virtually decided after the second primary, it's clear we've got awhile to go for both parties. Tonight's Michigan primary has given Mitt Romney a much needed win. So now Romney has won Wyoming and Michigan, Huckabee won Iowa and McCain won New Hampshire. It's going to be very interesting this weekend with the Nevada caucuses and the South Carolina Republican primary. I'm probably getting ahead of myself, but the possibility of a brokered convention, especially on the Republican side seems to grow by the day. It will be very interesting once Giuliani's strategy starts to take effect and to see if he can win these high delegate count states such as Florida. I'd give the edge to McCain still on the Republican side, but this is definitely a setback for his campaign.

Winners tonight: Romney (for winning his potential "last chance" and keeping his campaign alive) and Giuliani (as long as there is no front runner, the chances of his wait for the big states strategy succeeding improve).
