Romney's Got the Mo!

Momentum, that is. At least, if you believe the latest ARG poll, which shows Romney suddenly scoring a mighty 24% among likely New Hampshire Republican primary voters. That's good enough for a solid second-place showing, leaving Giuliani eating his dust. ARG also has Romney climbing to 14% in Iowa, which is pretty impressive at this point.

Was the 1st Q fundraising really worth that big a bump, or was it something else?

For the Dems, ARG shows Hillary slipping in Iowa and Obama slipping badly in NH (14%???). But the big news is in Iowa, where two of the second-tier candidates escaped the margin of error for the first time: Biden at 6%, Richardson at 5%, MOE +/- 4%. Watch out, here they come!
