The New Hampshire Primary - Hillary made a comeback, beating Obama to revenge Iowa. John McCain won the Republican bracket.

McCain's campaign was supposed to be on life support. So, what happened? Who forgot to yank this guy's plug?

McCain can win all the New Hampshire primaries he wants. I'll still remember eight years ago when rivals characterized him as a hothead whom was too combative to make an effective president.

He was so great eight years ago that his party nominated a younger, hipper candidate it thought was better. Why vote for him now? What has improved with him?

He is a Vietnam veteran, and that is admirable. John McCain has a lot of good qualities. Still, I don't think he is the strongest candidate.

Anyway, there is a vast difference between the results in Iowa and New Hampshire. The situation begs the question: Who's winning?
