The New Hampshire primary

[RecycleMichael]

Watch how different this one will be. Huckabee will be lucky to finish third in this one.

I predict McCain wins this one with Romney coming in second. Guiliani finished sixth in Iowa, but will probably knock Huckabee down to fourth here.

Huckabee won because the evangelical movement fought desperately to maintain control of the republican party. There are not enough evangelicals in New Hampshire to do it again.

On the democrat side, I predict Clinton will win this one barely over Obama with Edwards coming in third. Kucinich and Richardson will also do far better in this one than they did in Iowa.

I agree on the Republican side.  Romney lost enough steam in Iowa for McCain to take the race.

I disagree on the Democratic side.  Obama's momentum is only growing, and he is highly attractive to independent voters (who may vote in either party's primary).  Look for Barack to take this one too.

I think New Hampshirians (?) could cuddle up to an evangelical if he hits the right notes.  Y'know, like letting murderous rapist out of prison, denying abortions to retarded girls raped by their stepfathers, putting HIV at-risk groups in isolation, firing HIPO officers who question why Huck Jr. would have tortured a dog to death at summer camp.  Those are issues that voters care about.  If I saw a Little Loon flitting behind the O's eyes during his Iowa victory speech, in Huck's eyes I saw Loon Sr. dancing with a hundred nekkid polka-dotted giant rabbits with his hair on fire .

Saw some Democratic fundraiser ('100 Club'?) in NH and the crowd was going for the Ooooo.  Clinton was grating, Richardson looked for the world like Horatio Sanz from SNL, and Borack was still his dreamy self.

McCain, Romney, Huck, Paul

Fox's O'Reilly Gets Pushy at Obama Event

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gyXVIfZ2F2CTuuxH3_93vuTP-ywwD8TVUGT80

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — No one ever accused Bill O'Reilly of being a wilting flower.

So when the Fox News Channel commentator and interviewer appeared midway through a Barack Obama rally at a Nashua high school Saturday, his presence was evident. Tall, with camera crew in tow, O'Reilly marched forward to get a good look.

Journalists have been known to seek the best angle.

But it was after Obama's speech that O'Reilly threw some elbows. And not so figuratively either.

Obama staffer Marvin Nicholson, a personal aide always at Obama's side during rope line handshakes, said O'Reilly yelled at him to get out of the way of his cameraman's shot. Nicholson said O'Reilly came around the waist-high barricade separating Obama from well-wishers.

"Then he grabbed me with both of his arms and tried to push me out of the way," Nicholson said after the campaign agreed to make him available to reporters.

O'Reilly, interviewed afterward by phone on Fox News, said he tried "to gently remove" Nicholson because he was standing in front of Fox's camera.

"We're sorry we had to have that little confrontation, but no one on this earth is going to block a shot on "The O'Reilly Factor." It is not going to happen," O'Reilly said.

The scene was hard to miss. O'Reilly is about 6-feet-5-inches tall. Nicholson is 6-feet-8-inches tall.

"I told him, 'Sir, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't shove me anymore.' He called me 'low class.' He was pretty upset," Nicholson said.

Secret Service agents assigned to protect Obama ordered O'Reilly back behind the barricade. At that point Obama approached him and extended his hand.

O'Reilly, Nicholson recounted, "said the senator was great and that he would love to have him on the show."

Nicholson, a veteran of political campaigns, worked as Sen. John Kerry's personal aide in the 2004 presidential campaign.

"I've never seen a member of the press lay hands on a staffer before," he said.

Democrats, prodded by liberal activists who argue Fox News is biased, have been avoiding the cable news network. Fox had to cancel a scheduled Democratic debate after the candidates refused to participate.

O'Reilly also showed up earlier at a Hillary Rodham Clinton event in Concord, N.H., and was acknowledged by the candidate. He stood in the audience and urged an audience member to ask the New York senator and former first lady about her plan to remove troops from Iraq.

When the audience began booing, Clinton said, "No, no, no. He gets at least some credit for being here."

Recall what Adam said to Eve....

Huge political transformation underway in America!
With two days to go until the New Hampshire primary, a new CNN/WMUR poll out Sunday afternoon suggests that Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois has opened up a double digit advantage over New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. In the survey, conducted by the University of New Hampshire on Saturday and early Sunday, 39 percent of likely Granite State Democratic primary voters back Obama as the party's nominee — that's ten points ahead of Clinton's 29 percent. Obama is up six points and Clinton down four points from the survey conducted on Friday and early Saturday. Edwards is at 16%.

Hillary looks panic.... she'd be a pathetic President in a crisis. Just look.

For those that can not really remember all of the accomplishments, stated by Hillary, during the New Hampshire debate..........

There is Hope!

adjust your volume and listen...

Thank you! thank you....this reminds me how the GOP operatives led the country to realize what a bad idea having the Clinton's back in the White House was while setting the screen for another Democrat to slide through and win the nomination.

Try forgetting the last 7 years would have been funnier.

[RecycleMichael]

I love to say I was right and all you guys were wrong. Hillary made a great comeback tonight!

[inteller]

This proves several things.

The Illuminati in the shadows has worked overtime to guarantee that Billary makes a come back and gets back in the White House.

It also shows that the polls were SERIOUSLY flawed.  Flawed to the point of being negligent.  How can you go from a 10 point lead to losing in 24 hours.

[joiei]

Where's Fred. So does this mean that Fred is pretty much dead in the water.  BTW,  Fox News just cut off Obama so they could go to Hannity.  Obama is news, Hannity is not news.

[tulsacyclist]

I'm glad Hitlery made a come back tonight, I think she'll be the easier candidate to beat.

[pmcalk]

Good job to Clinton, though I hope to goodness that the pundits aren't correct and she didn't win because she cried.  How silly.

I think that Obama's concession speech was one of his best ever, and actually better than Clinton's acceptance speech.

[RecycleMichael]

I was in tears listening to Obama's speech. It was nothing of a concession speech. I think he would have given the same speech had he won, just changing the first few sentences. He is our modern day poet and his delivery truly uplifting.

Obama also used a teleprompter again last night. It is so much more effective than having to look down at your notes. Looking down is never inspirational.

McCain did a fair job at his speech, but spent most of it looking down at his notes, trying not to look 81 years old and lost.
