Having just arrived in the City from New Hampshire:

This was not a "we love Hillary" vote. This was a "fuck you, media; fuck you campaign workers; fuck you especially, sexist idiots in the media; fuck you, fuck you, fuck you" vote.

Three weeks and six days until Super Duper Tuesday. They'll be interesting.

Interesting. How can you tell the difference?

Just the size and composition and timing of that last late swing. Thus, a highly fallible analysis. Also, what I could tell from my canvassing around the Lakes Region.

What I found most intersting about the results were that the polls had predicted an Obama win in NH ( ... )

That's a good analysis, except the for the part about Hillary's and Obama's voting records in the Senate. I haven't always agreed with Obama's voting, but most of the reason I revile Hillary are votes that took place between '01 and '06.

We cannot afford another president who doesn't believe in the rule of law and human rights.

I'll be okay with any of them. Mr. Clinton wasn't exactly my ideal candidate on the issues, but right now I long for him like a starving Victorian urchin looking through the steamy window of a Cake Shoppe.

So, you don't think that the fact that on the votes where they were both present, they voted, um, rather similarly matters ( ... )
