Whilst the big story today will be about the comeback of Hillary Clinton, arguably the bigger comeback was by Republican John McCain.
A few months ago he was perceived as dead in the water and was laying off staff.
Whilst New Hampshire has helped Hillary Clinton's campaign it has saved John McCain's.
Most importantly it showed his judgment of skipping Iowa was correct and voters may start to notice this narrative. Now the pressure will be on Rudy Guiliani and his judgment to skip the first two nomination tests and wait until the Florida primary.
If the election now boils down to McCain v Clinton will he later style himself as a reassuring figure like Reagan in 1984 and appeal to the centrist voters inspired by Obama's campaign?
