At this point I'm just a passenger, living in the adjacent state of Maine.

Huckabee is the most competative Republican candidate, in my opinion, because he comes across as low key and resonable, has a sense of humor and plays bass guitar. That's not to say that I haven't read more of his background but that's the way he comes across.

Romney will implode. McCain will be competitive in New Hampshire and he has to be. The fella from NYC will get 1% of the vote. Ron Paul or whatever his name is will get the libertarians, 5% of the vote.

I'm a Democrat and haven't a clue how that race will shake down but Hillary will have to come in first or do more damage control which she can ill afford. Obama would benefit by a win but doesn't necessarily have to come in first. John Edwards needs to come in at least 2nd to make a splash but will probably come in third. Richardson is toast.

Cheerily,
