You Tell Me

Respond, in the comments, to these thoughts and questions.

(1) Two races, totally wide open. Unlike recent history -- more like the 1980s.
(2) Clinton can expect a fund raising bonanza
(3) McCain can expect a fund raising bonanza
(4) The press eats crow; those who declared Clinton dead (me?) and Romney alive (me?) have some explaining to do. But the polls were right on the GOP side and wrong on the Republican side.
(4.5) Was there a racial premium in Obama's support? Did whites in New Hampshire overstate their actual support for him?
(5) Was the press really unfair to HRC?
(6) Can the events of one news cycle change an entire race? (HRC crying) -- Feiler's Faster Thesis.
(7) Did women revolt as women?
(8) Does Clinton revisit her decision to scale back operations in South Carolina? Nevada?
(9) Does John Edwards hang his hat in southern states -- Alabama, Georgia -- and run a Fred-Thompson-like strategy? He still has a few million in the bank...
(10) Mike Huckabee's third place finish keeps him well in the hunt for the nomination. Is he raising money?
(11) Does Fred Thompson have a raison d'etre?
