hillary will rise to second over edwards. who saw edwards getting second? lololololol

I think McCain will come back for sure over Romney in New Hampshire.

Hilary was a surprise considering how much support and money she has. Blitzer calls them the clinton machine haha. It's definitely not over yet for her.

GOOOOOO EDWARDS!

I love this guy.
I wasn't sure how I felt about him until the Spanish debates at UM. My boyfriend worked with him and was absolutely blown away by him.

In other news, Tim also worked with Fred Thompson who is a huge ego maniac and a complete dick. He was late getting on stage because he wanted to watch football. Glad to see he has his priorities straight.

McCain in NH. Obama looking to score there too.

Am I the only person becoming increasingly disgusted with Hillary Clinton lately? Jerking tears on stage.... shameful. Way to put that good step forward for the first plausible female presidential candidate. Let's not affirm any stereotypes about chicks only ever getting what they want by crying or anything. Almost as bad as Guiliani interrupting his speeches to take a cell call from his wife.

well obama's closing on hillary, but she's still got a 2 point lead.

Thing is, you can get the election rhetoric on repeat all night so i watched the docu instead.

Good documentary though, I loved the Obama propaganda they had near the end and the finger pointing at Hilary earlier. It seems international media loves Obama. I hear in Europe that he's getting major coverage.

[miss.myra]

It's too bad Obama lacks true political experience and well, balls...'cause he seems like a nice guy.

GOOLIANI IS A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE and i can't get enough of him saying that with his lisp.

[decypher]

dammit i had a nice response written up but my browser froze. I blame the japanesebugfights tab.

Anyways, basically Obama responded to Hilary's main point that he has no experience. He brought up JFK's address stating he would get America on the moon in a decade. Obama infers that if he took Hilary's attitude that he would have told the American people it wasn't possible. Great link there since there are only 2 other presidents (Obama would be 3rd) to go from the senate right into office and JFK was one of them.

They are completely playing up this larger then life image in the media and this has capitalized on an increasingly mobilized American youth vote. The youth played an enormous part in Obama's support recently because Hilary, to that vote, represents the status quo and business interest. She is a political machine though and she has a lot more cards up her sleeve then we can imagine i'm sure. I'm interested to see how this youth vote plays out in the states because it's always completely absent from political analysis.

Either way i don't trust Hilary at all. Obama is inexperienced so it's hard to tell from a trackrecord how he will perform as president. He seems a lot more trustworthy then Hilary at least.

Please tell me you're kidding! You do realize that Huckabee thinks that HIV/AIDS carriers should be seperated from the rest of the population, right?

NOT A FAN.

Ive always been on the fence with Hillary and Obama, but after her sympathy cry fest and realizing that experince could be a bad thing, Im all over Obama.

Its like compare it to an old experienced teacher (Hillary) and a new fresh teacher (Obama) Although older teachers always know what to do and how to do things, they're also always stuck in their own ways and dont like change. When I see new teachers who seem stressed and are constantly learning from ther're mistakes, I also see them trying new things, trying to make things better and essentially trying harder to prove that they are just as good.

Hillary has a lot of ties and buddies in the political field and is probably high in debt with favors if she wins. However Obama has hardly any of that with his lack of experince and seems like the only one who will truly bring change.

I'm leaning more towards Ronmey.
It's true that he is the big M, and a lot of people are a little
uncomfortable about that.

Ultimately, I think at heart he's a businessman, and he'll run the country like a business, and that's what the US needs right now.

Here's an interesting thing to pay attention to. I wonder how many Hill-dawg wins are going to be on Diebold electronic voting machines (like in New Hampshire) versus how many Obama wins are on paper ballots (like Iowa).

Still don't trust the diebold machines. Americans should be furious about those things. The fact that they're still using them means that all counts in this election are suspect.

I'm really surprised by all the talk of Clinton's NH win being called a 'massive comeback.' If memory serves, she was solidly leading that state in polls for many months and only dropped after Obama pimp-slapped her in Iowa. And even then, it was a narrow victory in NH (2%, or a couple thousand votes).

But then what do I know about yankee-doodle politics? I'm just a krazy canuck.

[decypher]

She won by around 6000-8000 votes. The polls showed that there was a massive support for obama but at the last minute a few people changed their minds. Some people are saying it was the tears lol.
