I can’t shake the feeling that the next couple weeks are going to get Mitt Romney and his campaign staff reaching for some antacid. He’s already been flailing the last couple weeks and fighting off his made-up story about his father marching with Martin Luther King, and already has Huckabee’s surge in Iowa and McCain moving up in New Hampshire to deal with. Now McCain is coming back to Iowa where he was essentially DOA. If McCain makes even a third place finish there where he historically hasn’t done well that will overshadow a Romney win and eat into his lead in New Hampshire if not completely wipe it out. If there’s no Romnementum going into Feb. 5, what the heck does he do? He polls pretty badly outside of IA, NH, and MI and is woeful nationally. Can old lantern-jaw pull out a win?
