This is the shortest time ever between the Iowa and New Hampshire caucus and primary. This is important for the two winners of Iowa for a number of reasons. First off is the limited memory of the American voter. In the past thirty years the winners of Iowa have only won New Hamsphire 50% of the time.
Now we have a short 5 day window and Obama and Huckabee are still fresh on the minds of the voters. Both can also be considered somewhat of underdog status. You know David vs. Goliath.
Woe to Mrs. Clinton. Iowans called her cold and "she is not warm and fuzzy" like Obama, Edwards and the Huckman.
Another advantage to the front runners and winners of New Hampshire. Super Tuesday is now Super Duper Tuesday with many more states holding primaries. Combine the early Iowa and New Hampshire dates with a shortened cycle of primaries and the whole nomination thing can be over in the next thirty days.
It does not bode well for Mrs. Clinton. The right side of the program is still wide open. However Rudy stands little chance against Mc Cain, Huckabee and Romney's backyard.
