I transcribed the above from the screen on “Special Report.”

Not that this is fresh punditry by any stretch of the imagination, but once again: Romney is every bit as much a “favorite son” in New Hampshire as Tsongas was in 1992. And Clinton came in second in N.H. and emerged as the “winner” aka the Comeback kid. McCain could actually end up the same kind of “winner.” And unlike in other realms of life, it’s the winner inside the quotation marks who really wins.
