White Yankee Talking
I think what's important to remember is that:
a) NH doesn't know anything - we are all a bunch of yankee white folks - not at all representative of the nation as a whole.
b) obama's strategy and plan didn't have him winning NH anyway -- winning Iowa and then the polls lurched him onto this trajectory of expectation.
c) it is odd that the polls were so wrong, but something I read today said that the independants went to mccain rather than obama (more afraid of romney than clinton those folks were apparently) yesterday. so the committed voters for clinton were more than the committed voters for obama.
d) romney is such a sleazeball, I'm just relieved to see him going south.
e) interestingly, the actual count of democratic delegates awarded to each candidate went down like this: obama 9, clinton 9 and edwards 4. so technically it was a tie! but clinton gets the 'popular vote' win. And who will get Edwards' 4 delegates when he drops out?
f) I worry about nevada and who the food service workers union will back. word was it would be obama, but they were waiting until after NH to announce who they were backing. obama hasn't gottem many union endorsements, it would be really sweet for him to get that one.... whoever gets that endorsement will basically win onaccounta how many union members make up the population in nevada.

don't be down on your state. they seem pretty savvy, at least the republicans of NH do. They gave Huckleberry 11%. Obama slipped (if you even want to call it slipping) down a wee bit. But to win the IA cock-us like the Huckster did and then show so poorly one week later is truly remarkable.
No, I applaud your state for keeping the debate alive and for keeping the republicans on their heels.
Draft Ozzy!
I agree with arnica. And I agree with you - down with Romney! There was an interesting interview w/Obama on NPR this a.m. where he said polls are "notoriously unreliable" and that basically, NH votes didn't matter, because the fight is still ON.
I ALSO heard something on NPR that talked about the independent voters casting a defensive vote AGAINST Romney (for McCain). It will all work out in the end. And Romney can poop in his hat!
somebody ought to feed mitt a rotten egg!
