NH Primary 2008 Results

It looks like Hillary Clinton pulled it out of her butt for the NH Primary. Barack Obama's not far behind though.



McCain has a lead over Romney, with Huckabee in a distant third place.


Should be an interesting year.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Yeah, I'm watching her now, I'm surprized those ear rings didn't tear her a new one as she was pulling it out

LOL...

This is going to be a very interesting election year.

Personally, I don't think it looks all that good for Romney, considering that he seriously out spent everyone else, and also was the previous governor of Massachusetts, which is within 60 miles of 75% of the NH state population... and he didn't manage to take first place in New Hampshire.

I don't know ??, Iowa & NH really shows no indication on how this will play out

Ducacus won both states and who knows what he's doing today

Gore won both states and he's making SiFi movies for middle schools

Kerry won both states and I think he's back selling Ketchup

This year it's slit, and that's NOT a good sign for either party

But I absolutely agree, it's going to be interesting and dirty

I think we ought to do "rock/paper/scissors" or real mud wrestling instead of mud slingin'. Just as likely to get the best candidate either method. Oh wait, the best candidates didn't even run.

By definition, if they're running, they're not the best candidate...anyone who actually wants the job is probably not a good choice for it.

yesterday the talking heads were predicting obama and mcain by large margins. Hillarys camp was due for a forest fire, hukabee was a nutjob...
today, hillary wins with less than 40% of the vote, and she's queen once again.

Is there a reason why the heads can't say....

"you know, we just don't have a sweet flippin' clue whacha all gunna do, so we'll shut up and see what happens when they count the votes."

Its easy to predict. Iowa is too conservative for Hillary to win, so Obama won. NH is much less conservative, so Hillary won. Next?

Dear Abby,

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What’s worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job six years ago, he hasn’t even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot the bull with his buddies, while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn’t even pretend to like me, and even hints that he thinks I may be a lesbian.

What should I do?

Signed: Clueless

Dear Clueless:

Grow up and dump him. Good grief woman! You don’t need him anymore! You’re a Senator from New York running for President of the United States. Act like it.
