What will this do to Rubio's campaign? New Hampshire turns on a dime, but not in ways we can always predict. I'll return to this thought later. New Hampshire hates canned responses, though. Will this cost him second place on Tuesday? It might.

I don't watch these things, so it has no effect on me, and I can imagine it will only have any sort of impact on people that actually watched it. This is the risks that face any younger candidate when going up against the more polished politicians.
