For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: Romney takes Nevada, McCain wins South Carolina, Thompson does poorly...again.
How are NBers feeling about the primaries at this point? Most conservatives are not behind McCain for a variety of obvious reasons. Are you with such GOPers, or more friendly to a McCain candidacy, and why?
On the other hand, despite how the media are covering it, one really has to see Romney as the frontrunner inasmuch as he keeps on racking up delegates. How do you feel about Mitt as the nominee? Do you see him doing well at the national level?
Finally, has Huckabee's train hit a brick wall? Is Thompson done? Has Giuliani made a mistake banking on the bigger states and ignoring these early primaries, or is he still lurking in the wings with a serious chance?
