The problem that the huckster and obama have is now they have gone from the shadows to the spotlight. People will be digging much more into their past and the pressure will be on. I think this hurts Huckabee much more than Obama as huckabee has a terrible track record (if you are a conservative) and now that will come to the forefront. The best thing he has going for him is that NH is closing in quick (and that helps McCain too) and not much can be brought out before then. It says a lot though when Terry McCaulagh and other dem advisors keep saying good things about Huckabee...........one of them last night admitted that they want Huckabee to win because they know they can beat him in the general election. (don't remember her name it was after midnight on FOX...blond with scratchy voice). The best chance the republicans have for winning the GE is either Romney or Guliani....Huckabee would get killed.

Obama has a better chance of riding this out. One thing that was telling last night was that Obama carried the younger voters and the women vote. I still think that Clinton will still come out the nominee, but it will be closer for longer than expected. A problem the dems have though is that nobody on their side have executive experience, and a senator (which they all are) has never been elected president.

NH should be interesting!
