1. NH is done. Skipping the big boys, did anyone notice how quickly Huckabee went from media love-child and the messiah of change politics to nonentity as he finished third only two weeks later?
2. Ron Paul. Apparently, you can publish bigotted literature and run for president anymore. TNR broke the story, with excerpts. I found the man refreshing, but this is enough to quash any interest I had. His camp claims that he didn't espouse the views. Ok, but a president does not operate in a vacuum and I worry about the company Mr. Paul has chosen to keep.

A "non-entity" in New Hampshire doesn't mean much, especially in the Republican primary. McCain won NH in 2000 as well. I don't think anyone was under any assumption that Huckabee would win there. Not sure the first two primaries say much about what will happen in the upcoming months- both races, especially the Republican one- are still very wide open. And that's a good thing.
