As it was expected, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney won the New Hampshire Primary yesterday, with Ron Paul finishing second and Jon Huntsman finishing third. The former Utah Governor now lives in New Hampshire, and literally gambled his entire campaign on the Granite State, and it isn't widely expected that he will be able to do well in other States, especially in the South.
Contrary to popular belief, the Republican nomination is far from decided in reality. After South Carolina, the series of States which vote on what this year will be Super Tuesday, March 6th, will all have their delegate counts decided on a proportional basis, most by congressional district. That means that if candidates were to campaign well, they could still challenge Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination. The practical reality is that if Tennesseans want a real say in who will be the Republican nominee, it would appear that South Carolina is going to have to be the contest where someone defeats Mitt Romney, because at some point, money becomes a factor for those candidates who would otherwise have a chance to be nominated.
Adam Graham of the Truth and Hope Report, Warner Todd Huston of Publius Forum and The Prairie State Report, and myself give our straight opinions about the candidates and the New Hampshire Primary.
