10:40 PM Tuesday Night

Republican race called for McCain

Clinton-39%
Obama-36%

67% of precincts counted.

OK 2/3 of the precincts are in, the percentages have stayed the same, New Hampshire doesn't have any big cities - What's the deal?

OK MSNBC is calling it for Clinton. Good enough for me, I'm going to bed!

Looks like its going to be a very long nite. Its never wise to count the Clinton's out before the votes are counted. I still think when this is over OBAMA will win it. Eventually Edwards is going to have to decide what to do. Will he sell us all out and pitch his support for Billary and the Corpiracy or will he go with a "new" generation of leadership? McCain will eat Hillary's lunch in the general election. He will get the Indep. vote not her. Obama can win the general against McCain. Edwards is the king maker now. His 15% is the difference. He can't win but he can make Hillary or Obama the nominee can't he?

Eventually that is what will happen, but I hope he stays in it.

Why? He can't win, whats the pt.? In a brokered convention Billary wins and its more WAR and Imperial BS for the next 4 yrs. She has to be defeated she's a neo-con phony and uber-Corpiratist.

Momentum is now back to Hillary. Edwards could tell his supporters to go for Obama but there's no guarantee they will.

No question Hillary is not the progressive we want.

Edwards will IMO hang in for a while. If he waits too long Hillary and her deep pocket supporters in the Corp. board rooms will prevail. Obama though is anything but defeated at this pt. Hillary barely survived his challenge in N.H. She lead there in the polls the entire yr. up till 5 days ago. So, I think much of the IOWA effect was media manufactured and had no basis in fact. They built Obama up into a God and its made Hillary look like athe comeback kid. The truth is she's still hurting. She has the Mo now but barely. A 2/3 pt. win in N.H. only looks good because the MSM had Obama winning big in the hr. before the election. Where did they get those numbers? No time really existed to do any good polling. It was more media hype and Obama has to now play catch up because he and his staff wanted to ride the hype. Thats the problem he has now. Ok, its going to be a hard slog from here. Lets just hope it gets over fast because other wise a damaged candidate will emerge. One the Reptiles with all their media and Corp. backing plus, Diebold et al. will easily take down in Nov. We also have to contend with BV$h meddling. You can bet he'll fire up the FEAR machine once again come next fall. Lots of wild cards and if 2000 and 2004 and last night showed us anything its these things can easily be lost in that last weekend.

I think this deal with Iran boats challenging US ships was a move to get that fear machine hopped up.

Its hard to see Edwards revive now. Maybe he is vying for the Vice President slot again.

He could be cooked.

At this moment I'm thinking Clinton wins. Maybe the ticket is Clinton-Obama.

I just posted Zogby link because his explanation for what happened in NH sounds pretty rational. If it holds it means that Hillary has a real shot again and her campaign is limping after N.H. but still very very viable. Same holds though for Obama. The inflated expectation game the media plays hurt him at the 11th hr. but he's still got a lot of gas in the tank. Its as you say in your next post a battle between hope and fear. Hillary might win but in a fear fest she'll lose to McCain because BV$H and his thugs will do everything they can to give John M. the edge just so they don't go to jail. Hillary probably is no real threat to them even if she won but they're not 100% sure of that.

I don't think Clinton would send Bush to jail. Bill Clinton let all the crap from Reagan and Bush 1 go under the carpet back in 92.

She will do the same. Its probably already a done deal. I think all of this stuff is worked out in advance.

She might even leverage the situation, Bush and neocons are set free, she gets kid gloves for 6 months.
