This is great news....for Mitt Romney.
10% in North Carolina
12% in Montana
14% in Missouri
Can any Romney hack try to pass these numbers off as good news. He'd be ok if he was cleaning up in the 2008 Obama states but he's not. He's only doing so in some, but not all, of the 2008 Obama blue states.
Good showing by Palin in a state that borders the Huckabee strongholds of Iowa and Arkansas. Iowa probably is not too different from Missouri right now.
None of these states vote especially early, so I'm not too worried. Iowa would be more useful, but Romney has strong leads in Nevada and New Hampshire, two early states. He also is expected to be leading in Michigan, another early state.
