It looks as if Senator John McCain has won the Republican primary in New Hampshire; the Democrat's race is too close to call right now. McCain's victory is not a surprise, but it does a lot towards revitalizing his campaign.
One thing that worries me is what happens if Obama gets the Democratic nod and McCain carries the victory in the Republican race. Imagine a debate in which a young, energetic junior Senator faces a 72-year old McCain. I can't help but think it would be a re-hash of the Kennedy/Nixon debate of 1960. McCain is energetic, authentic and a genuine hero. But youth, looks and enthusiasm count for a lot in our 15-second attention span society.
I go back to my early call---Rudy is the only Republican who can beat Obama and/or Clinton. Mark my words.
