Winners
Huckabee–But where does he go from here? The Improv?
Thompson–still alive but at 2% in New Hampshire
Paul–double figures after every single press report stated he couldn’t win–exceed his poll average by 40% in a hostile environment
Losers
Romney–bet the ranch on winning there
McCain–badly wanted third place
Giuliani–a humiliating 4%
Also, rumor has it that Rudy is indeed broke.
Big picture: none of the candidates up against Ron Paul is looking good nationally. This will be a war of attrition down to the convention.
