KLEIN ON McCAIN….Is John McCain a lock to win New Hampshire? Joe Klein doesn’t believe it: “I wouldn’t be surprised to see the race tighten or swing toward Romney over the next few days.”

Also, from the same post, Klein watched the Republican debate with one of Frank Luntz’s dial groups and reports that when the subject came to illegal immigration, “their dials plummeted when McCain said we had to be ‘humane.’” Makes you proud.
