Bummer...

Aren't there about 48 more primaries/caucuses to go?

Emotion had nothing to do with it. That's just NH for you.

Crying works.

I was just looking around at Google News—I hadn't found anything on it. Was it on TV?

re: #4 Mich-again

Crying works.

Then I suggest you try that the next time a cop pulls you over. :P

Well, in a way, it's a relief. As much as I dislike Hillary Clinton and all her works, at least she has actual ideas. Obama's almost as empty a suit as John Edwards.

But won't the Wall Street Journal be disappointed?

The news brings me...so close...to tears...

Is Ma Sands still around?
Can we shout "CHANGE" ?

the crocodile tears paid off

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings!

Yeah, well, it ain't over 'til it's over. Barak still has her running scared.

Still, I hope the nod goes to Hillary. She will be much easier to beat in the general election, methinks.

Sniffle... Sniffle...

I knew they would see it my way...

come on Charles

where is the April Fools !

Correction.. Crying works for women. Its the oldest trick in the book. Goes all the way back to the Lucy Show.

It's a shame that one of them has to win.

re: #4 Mich-again

Crying works.

I think you're right. Even the Koskidz, who normally hate Hillary, had a post up about her bravery and passion. Maybe America is ready for a crying president afterall.

I'd rather have Hillary than Obama as the main candidate. Lots of people hate her. She has the highest unfavorable ratings of any candite, and unfavorable translates to unelectability. Delegates in a primary don't (necessarily) translate to votes in the real election.

re: #5 dog opus

That's really too bad. I do not want to have to listen to Hilary's nails-on-chalkboard screech for the next 10 months.
And no matter how naive he is about foreign policy, its hard not to like Barak Obama.

Barack's turn to cry now ?

this brings back memories of 2000
and 2004 when "exit polls" by Zogby and CBS and Reuters, et al.
predicated a Bush loss

those same forces seem to want B. Hussein Obama to win
but ultimately will rally behind Hitlery
when/if she gets the nomination

but all they're doing is damaging her/themselves

According the Encyclopedia of MobTroof™, Nude Hampster (1,235,786) has a population smaller that of the metropolitan area of Las Vegas (1,777,539), so what should one really care about this primary?

Great- now we get an onslaught of "Comeback Kiddette" references in the MSM. And me all out of Prevacid...

How long until Michigan?

Those bigoted NH women voted for Hillary. Hope is dead.

Not to mention Evan Coyne Maloney interviewing demonstrators who half-jokingly (or one-thirds-jokingly) agree that we should just skip the counting and decide the election based on the exit polling.

There can be a number possible reasons to consider the Iowa caucus results to be a fluke.

1. Hillary didn't offer a big enough bribe (farm subsidies) to the Iowans.

(Seriously, when I did two weeks of telephone fund raising for the GOP every time I got a farmer on the line it was always "gimme gimme gimme" with them.)

2. Iowa is just across the river from Illinois with a number of very convenient bridge to facilitate the transmission of Illinois Democrat cooties.

3. Dude, it's Iowa. (As a nearly lifelong Minnesota resident this pretty much explains it.

I knew those tear drops were just what her staff had hoped or planned for.

re: #7 Dianna

I completely agree. Obama's void is scary! I have heard his speeches. I don't remember EVER hearing anything but cliches and dirt-cheap rhetoric. I feel embarrassed for his supporters. "Change,.. change the world, cast aside cynicism, we have marched here for an idea, hope we can believe in"... it's embarrassing. Other than that slop about bombing Pakistan, I don't believe I have EVER heard anything concrete coming out of his mouth.

The reason he is doing so well is because empty rhetoric can be all things to all people. The message is in the ears of the listeners. Anyone can fill the blanks between the cliches with their individual delusions. The atrophied mind of the average Democrat doesn't even operate on concepts.. just feel good abstract fleeting bullshit. That's why his ridiculous "change" slogan never get old... They don't even know what they want, they have no clue... all they want is SOMETHING... yearning for something... CHANGE!

It's embarrassing...

I wonder if we're seeing any"american idol"/"dancing with the stars" voting going on here. People not necessarily vote for their favorite - but rather voting for the person who is 'lagging' but you'd like to see stick around for another week.

I wonder if crying will work with the terrorists?

Another MSM ploy.
Yesterday -- Hillary would lose big time. Her campaign is suffering. Not a chance to win NH.
Today -- All those who support her go out to vote in droves.
A ploy.

re: #31 shoey

well, cheese and rice the NYT is gonna get one helluva headache trying to decide who is now the Golden Child... their pain makes me happy :)

I think, even though they obviously despise one another, that one will end up as the president and one as the vice president in the general. This will hopefully translate into the single most hated ticket in history, especially if Hillary is pres and not vice pres. If Obama's in the lead, all bets are off.

It makes you wonder, assuming she gets the nomination (I personally think she will), if she'll invite Obama to be her running mate.

Sleep well! heh

What now, tears of joy?

Old Clinton campaign theme- Change

New Clinton campaign theme- It's my Party and I'll cry if I want to.

Oh, I forgot number 4!

re: #61 NoSpam

Not sure if it's sinister, or just dumb! The man seems to have absolutely no substance. All I would hope for if he God forbid, got the presidency, was for him to have good advisers and to listen to them, because he seems completely incapable of anything operational in the "executive" department. But overall, I have to consider the worst: that he is sinister.

I am a skeptical empiricist: the unknown scares me much more than evil I can predict, take into account, and react to. If it came down to Obama vs Hillary, I would sadly prefer Hillary. At least with her I know what to expect. He is a surprise box. Especially in these crucial times, we cannot afford surprises.

re: #80 Egfrow

That's because Fred tanked tonight with 1%. Rudy didn't even campaign there and pulled in 9%.

From: [Link: www.politico.com...]

Here are Clinton's groups: women, particularly married women; voters over 40; voters making less than $50,000; voters without a college degree; union voters; Democrats; Catholics (an important constituency for the Democrats); people very worried about the economy; voters who thought the economy was most important; voters who valued experience; and voters who evaluated candidates on whether they "care about people like me."

So Hillary picked up all those little old female garment workers in NH...

What is absent from the talking heads is how white NH is. After Obama won in Iowa the talk was all about Iowa being 96% white. Well...?

re: #99 Killgore Trout

Oh well, damn shame.

FoxNews is calling McCain the Comeback Kid.

So far as I know, prevailing psychological data suggests the opposite effect in this situation.

Obama: Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! and free stuff too! Vote for me!

Is it that people actually dislike Hillary worse than Obama or that an Obama victory would make it easier to get a republican in the white house?

I trust Obama as far as I could throw him.

re: #83 Dianna

I couldn't tell you how many people saw this yesterday. It doesn't change that it was an emotional manipulation, and a poor example for young women in politics.

Better Hillary than Obama. Charles Krauthammer

...I could never vote for her, but I (and others of my ideological ilk) could live with her — precisely because she is so liberated from principle. Her liberalism, like her husband’s — flexible, disciplined, calculated, triangulated — always leaves open the possibility that she would do the right thing for the blessedly wrong (i.e. self-interested, ambition-serving, politically expedient) reason.

I could never vote for her because the Clintons’ liberal internationalism on display in the 1990s — the pursuit of paper treaties and the reliance on international institutions — is naive in theory and feckless in practice. And her domestic policy sees state intervention and expansion as the answer to every human ill from mortgage default to the common cold. Nonetheless, if 2008 is going to be a Democratic year, as it very well could, Hillary would serve the country better than any of her Democratic rivals.

On Iraq, for example, she talks like someone who knows she may soon be commander in chief and will need room to maneuver in order to achieve whatever success might be possible. Clinton has emphatically refused to give assurances that she would get us out of Iraq during her first term. Unlike, for example, Bill Richardson, who advocates a rout so radical that we’d leave equipment behind, she has committed herself to little more than a drawdown of forces as conditions allow.

On Iran, Clinton has been pilloried from the left for supporting a completely anodyne resolution designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. This would trigger serious economic sanctions that would greatly complicate its ability to operate.

Her leading rivals opposed the resolution on the bogus grounds that it is a blank check for Bush to go to war with Iran. It is nothing of the sort. An earlier version of the Iran resolution that would have allowed “the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments” to counter Iranian activity inside Iraq might indeed have been interpreted as such an authorization. But that provision was dropped in the resolution that Clinton, and 75 other senators, voted for...

re: #115 blackpajamas

In the meantime, I cannot listen to Obama's Sharpton/Jackson/Rock Star horrible impersonation of a caricature of MLK. Lord help us.

As much as my heart wants to see her lose, my brain wants to see here win. Of those who could actually win the Democrat Nomination, she's the easiest to beat (I can see the commercials now, lets get the furniture back to the white house, vote for Hillary, Bill will be in charge of the interns). She also happens to be the least scary of the possible nominees. That says more about the other possibilities than about her.

Actually Kucinich would be the easiest to beat, but he doesn't have a prayer.

So Barak didn't win, and we can all hope they gnaw at each other's intestines for the next six months or so.

Huckleberry Who?

Everybody's getting all excited about the momentum swinging from BHO back to HRC. But weren't they basically tied in both states?

re: #117 NoSpam

re: #84 JeremyR

re: #18 NoSpam

I'd rather have Hillary than Obama as the main candidate. Lots of people hate her. She has the highest unfavorable ratings of any candite, and unfavorable translates to unelectability. Delegates in a primary don't (necessarily) translate to votes in the real election.

Sure they do! Ifshe gets 2200 delegates, she is all but guaranteed 2200 votes in the general election, which is about 2198 more then she should get. (Exception is made for Chelsea and Worthless Willie.)

But the fact that so many conservatives and moderates hate her will drie them to the polls in droves to make sure it's anybody but hildemort. She may have the primary vote, but primary delegates do not translate into a win in the general.

I was being sarchastic. if she gets 2200 delegates, she will probably get 2200 votes in the general. Not primary votes to primary votes, 2200 delegates to the clueless commies convention in Denver who will still be voting for the hell on the hill.
She is nobody's second choice. Hell, she isn't the first choice of anybody even halfway smart.

fred's campaign has really never been much more than a premature ejaculation. i thought he turned in his best effort at the abc forum, but whenever he has a chance to do it gracefully, it's time for an exit, stage right...

Hillary speech: "I found my own voice. I felt like we all spoke from our hearts..."

I listened to you and I found my own voice!

Frankly, I just can't wait for the sheer electoral thrill of the Idaho Open Primary.

She cried, she won. What kind of example is this for young women? Way to be the feminist you claimed to be, hill. I can't stand your politics, but as a woman I'm more appalled at your tactics yesterday.

exactly.

I must say Hillary's victory gives me a lot of pause. If the people of New Hampshire can be hustled so easily by this con artist, it makes me wonder if the rest of the country can be easily conned. She's a charlatan, but too few people seem to see it.

re: #109 MagnaniomousCoward

Look at Hitler's earliest speeches, not his later ones. They were mostly emphasizing promises to the German people, and rambled on in the same sort of manner that Obama's do. It is in Later speeches that the conspiracy theories started to take the main stage in Hitler's rhetoric. In the early stages he made promises to the public to lure the people in.

I'm not saying Obama=Hitler, but the similarities are there in what they offered at first. Beware of socialists* bearing gifts.

I cannot stand the Clintons. They should both be in the Federal pen, not running for office. I don't understand how anyone can support them. There are Democrats out there that did not steal and kill to get to the top. The Clintons are the reason that so many people I know, including me, now vote republican. I have never voted for a Clinton and never will.

Oh come on. Obama's speeches are full of nothing but vapid cliches. The man can talk for an hour without actually saying a damn thing. I could write them:

I know any hack politician can offer you change and hope; but only I am here to offer Change and Hope. Hope for the future, Change We Can Believe In! Not fake change or loose change, oh no.

re: #133 Math Guique

Hillary is both the least scary of the Democratic candidates AND the least electable in a general election. To me, if she has really won New Hampshire, it's unambiguously good news.

Hillary is probably the least electable because she strikes terror into the hearts of most thinking people. My 12-year-old granddaughter told me today that she is very frightened of Hillary being President. Smart kid.

re: #120 meMarc

Extremely well said!

I was trying to put it into words myself, especially the first part, about her lack of principles somehow being useful. And I had a similar (inverse) argument against Ron Paul. There's plenty to say against him, but I am trying to shake off some libertarian friends who have drunk the Ron Paul kool aid, so I need to be gentle: The point is that he is so full of principles, so obsessed with his bizarre anarco-libertarian convictions, that his absolutism on any issue is quasi-religious. Although he might do some things I would for once love to see happen (abolish the Fed/IRS, federal income tax and whatnot), he would be so stiff and impractical, bound by his convictions to a point where he would never be able to listen to reason and maneuver in intricate situations. Sometimes, a lack of principles and smart opportunism can be better than any principles at all

That's a Liberal for you, crying, and sneering all the way!
The thing to remember is that the left is addicted to sneering. It is their metier- see this: Addicted to Sneering: Why The Left Taunts the Tiger

Maybe she used this.

I dislike Clinton, but I think that John Edwards would be 100X worse. Obama is probably also pretty bad.

What if...just what if... It is Obama Vs. (insert republican) and the democrat wins. I think you'll WISH it was Hillary in office.

Hill's botox still hasn't finished its work...

re: #163 Shug

America needs a bitchslap.

The coverage and spinsters are laughable. What comeback? McCain was figuring on capturing NH just as he has in the past. It's the other 48 states that have proven to be a challenge. Extrapolating from NH to any other state simply can't be done. The advantage of winning is in getting the delegates - nothing more. There's no momentum for anyone here - and that's got to be infuriating for the pundits who have to spin like mad to justify their salaries.

It's a rotating assortment for the GOP - and even through it all Romney still holds the lead in what's really important - delegates. McCain is still back in the pack despite winning. Comeback kid? Let me know how that goes when he's actually leading in delegates. Until then, he's still yet to show anything remotely approaching staying power.

It should be troubling for Fred that he's not getting traction, and he's got to start doing better, or he's gone.

For the Democrats, it goes to show what happens when you underestimate Clinton's machinery - so much for all that momentum Obama supposedly had after Iowa. It lasted precisely one primary.

Hillary continues to lead in what counts - delegates - just as Romney does, so despite the punditry talking about how both are in trouble or that Hillary or Romney might be forced out, nothing of the kind will happen until they are knocked off their perch, and the soonest that could happen is Super Tuesday.

That's the date to watch for. Everything else is just setting the table for a crazy and hectic day.

This has to stop.

Free trade and outsourcing are all part of a global economy. We cannot isolate ourselves from the world. Globalization is nothing new under the sun. It's a very very very old phenomenon. Nations trade shit for money. that's how the world works. If the damn Democrats would stop raising taxes and punishing corporations - maybe we cold keep more of our jobs here.

Punitive taxation makes people/businesses flee.

By a hair, I think Hillary would be easier to deal with than Obama.

Notice that even at many conservative blogs, like this one, the major topic is Hillary-Obama ... for the most part, the GOP candidates can go pound sand. If this is how it will be in the general election -- Democrats sucking all the oxygen out of the media AND the blogosophere -- we're screwed. Royally screwed.

Now what we have to fear is the worst of all possible outcomes -- a Hillary-Obama ticket. Picture Hillary and Obama on the stage holding hands in glorious reconciliation, flanked by Oprah and the Old Guard, and the media dutifully on its knees delivering loving busses to one and all.

'Cause now, it's 'Bama's turn to cry
'Bama's turn to cry,
'Bama's turn to cry
'Cause Hampshire's come back (Hampshire's come back, come back) to me

Oh, when 'Bama left with Iowa at my party (my party)
And came back doing his thing,
I sat down and cried my eyes out
Now, that was a saavy thing

'Cause now, it's 'Bama's turn to cry
'Bama's turn to cry,
'Bama's turn to cry
'Cause Hampshire's come back (Hampshire's come back, come back) to me

Well, it hurt me so when they caucus'd together (together)
I felt like making a scene
Then, my tears just fell like raindrops
'Cause 'Bama's smile was so mean

'Cause now, it's 'Bama's turn to cry
'Bama's turn to cry,
'Bama's turn to cry
'Cause Hampshire's come back (Hampshire's come back, come back) to me

(Instrumental Break)

Oh, the pollsters said I was finished (finished)
So, I let a tear fall from my eye
Bubba jumped up and said "Screw Kucinich!"
'Cause he still needs me, that's why

'Cause now, it's 'Bama's turn to cry
'Bama's turn to cry,
'Bama's turn to cry
'Cause Hampshire's come back (Hampshire's come back, come back) to me

Yay, now, it's 'Bama's turn to cry
'Bama's turn to cry,

What a narcissist.

I read something during the last election cycle about how people respond to being asked about their vote.
A LOT of people don't 'fess up to their true vote, but instead, give the name of the candidate that's gotten more positive coverage in the MSM . . . in other words, the voter tells the pollster he voted for the candidate that he thinks is more "acceptable" for the pollster to hear - or, in my estimation, the candidate that's considered "hipper."
That would explain why Democrat candidates often poll better than the Republicans (but the races are so close), and might explain why everyone said they were voting for the hot-pick-of-the-week Obama . . .

Or maybe no one wanted to say that they were voting for the white candidate over the black one . . .

when will the serious contender(s) on the Republican side enter the race?

(testing Newt-1-2-3...)

Lefty New Hampshire is NOT Middle America. This is a horse race...there are going to be alot of changes in momentum. A LONG election with lots of twists and turns, lots of smears and effective attacks all around. And with instantaneous internet coverage, nothing will go unnoticed. So sit back and get comfy.

And while everyone else is focusing on the vote tally - keep your eye on the delegates. Hillary won and got 8. Obama lost, but got 8.

Who exactly won again? Who lost again? That's what a tie looks like - popular vote notwithstanding.

Obama holds a slight lead in pledged delegates, while Romney holds the lead for the GOP.

These early races are peanuts in comparison, especially in a compressed season where you don't get a chance for the CW to settle in - we've already seen just how useful the CW is - yesterday's news.
