Yep.

Regardless...it looks, as of right now that McCain would be the frontrunner in New Hampshire, especially after Huckabee spanked Romney...though that can change...

Does McCain gain at not just Romney's, but also Giuliani's expense?

[bullmoose88]

He's been gaining from Giuliani for about 3-4 weeks.  Don't see why it would stopped.

As pointed out by another poster on another site, who's been posting here , McCain ate into Mitt's base of voters (or the base he'd been courting) in upper-income Des Moines precincts.

I guess what I'm saying here is, for Giulani's delayed strategy to work...it almost requires McCain to be dead in the water by super tuesday...doesn't look like that's gonna happen now...
