Is it over for Romney?

Of course not. But if he doesn’t place second in New Hampshire, its really going to be a tight race for him coming into Super Tuesday.

Again, what we really need to watch is Fred Thompson and John McCain. If Thompson slips below McCain, its very feasible that he could drop out and throw his support behind Senator McCain. With Thompson’s support, along with the unusual endorsement of Independent Joe Lieberman, McCain could come out of New Hampshire as the victor.

If McCain gets Thompson’s endorsement, this will also help him make some more serious inroads in South Carolina, giving him a major competitive edge.
