Looks like Brit Hume wasn’t listening to fashion superstar RuPaul this weekend when he went on tour in New Hampshire to clarify that he is not Rep. Ron Paul. Hume’s assessment of the results of the New Hampshire primary today took into consideration Rep. Paul’s second place finish, but continued to argue that Rep. Paul had “as much of a chance as RuPaul” of getting the nomination.

“The New Hampshire primary matters, and matters a lot,” Hume noted, considering it “an important win for Mitt Romney, and “the Paul showing is interesting.” “I continue to believe– and I think most observers do– that he has as much of a chance of getting nominated as RuPaul would, so all he does is block the other candidates from trying to overtake Romney,” Hume joked.

He added commentary about the rest of the field in the future. “If you look at this field now and you look ahead and you think, well, who now is in a position to challenge Mitt Romney going forward?” he asked, “the one person with enough national name recognition, and perhaps enough money, and intellectual candlepower who might’ve been able do it would be Newt Gingrich,” but Gingrich, he notes, has been destroyed by the Romney machine.
