The Comeback Grownups
New Hampshire keeps the races nicely unsettled.
I wasn’t real happy when the “pundits” annointed Obama, claiming he had the big momentum and NH was going to seal his Democratic nomination. Hey, I wanted a voice, I didn’t want less than 800,000 voters deciding my countries fate. NH came through - handing the media their arses. Here, the WAPO says it much better than I.
FOR ALL THE hoopla over Barack Obama’s post-Iowa bounce, in the end the Democratic voters of New Hampshire buoyed Hillary Rodham Clinton with a victory that confounded the pollsters. This is good news, and not just for the senator from New York. It’s good news for the voters in all the states that haven’t yet had a chance to express a preference. The situation is much the same on the other side: John McCain, whose campaign was written off as hopeless only weeks ago, won a decisive victory in the Republican primary that could keep the GOP race scrambled for some time to come.
