Regarding the possible candidates on each side. Despite what you may claim their really is no GOP front runner after each state the front runner changes. McCain is the only candidate who is competitive against Obama or Clinton, some polls ahve him up slightly others have him down slightly. Every poll has both Obama and Clinton trouncing Huckabee, Romney and Giuliani.
Right. Guiliani is dead in the water, Huckabee just lost the one state he should've won before Super Tuesday and won't be competitive outside the South on February 5th, and Romney has won one state where the candidates competed (MI) and lost the other three. Check some state polls for February 5th and compare McCain and Romney. If you're not seeing McCain as the clear front runner, see an eye doctor.
And the GOP front runner from NH to now has been McCain (through results in MI, NV, and SC - two McCain losses).
Romney has 3 golds, 2 silvers, and a bronze.
He didn't medal in South Carolina
