Nailhead, I don't think we usually would agree on policy, but I do agree with your analysis.

Glad to see Hillary knocked down a peg. I don't think she is actually Satan, but there is something disturbing about her, something not of this world...

Thompson is a surprise and I hope it is s fluke and he fades quickly. He's a lot better actor than he is politician (and I'm NOT saying he is a good actor). I would have liked to see McCain beat at least Thompson in Iowa. I think McCain will do much better in New Hampshire.

Ron Paul did not have a strong showing, but New Hampshire is more likely to be his kind of territiory. I don't think he is going to last long if he doesn't do well there.
