Exactly. Obama is a great candidate, but he will not take the presidency. To all those who support McCain and Clinton, congratulations.

This is fun, if nothing else. We still have no idea who it will be on either side. Looks like Americans aren't going to make this easy on the politicians. Well, turn about IS fair play, I'm told, I wish I were a fly on the wall, watching both party headquarters trying to figure this out.
McCain's lead was a good one. Not close at all. But Clinton only took Obama by two points, & that is close. How refreshing though, to see a black man and a woman in a close race like this. Never thought I'd live to see this day. Amazing. Just amazing! I look forward to next Tuesday, for sure. Maybe Edwards will upset them both. Who knows.

Onward to Michigan and South Carolina. Democracy lives in the United States. We could have legitimate conventions this summer, instead of a sleeper.

Senator Clinton showed New Hampshire and the country that she is indeed a fighter. Women turned out in droves and overwhelmingly voted for her..something that they did not do in Iowa. The media/talk radio making fun of Hillary's emotional moment on Monday ended up helping her as well.

Regardless of which candidate any of you support, the victory at this moment in time is with the people.
The nation's voice for change is being reflected by Clinton and Obama. This is not coming from a partisan, because I haven't been enamored with either parties.
I make this comment simply because mainstream media tried to manipulate the people of Iowa and New Hampshire, but this time they failed.
Americans have won a battle. The media must sit back in their seats humbled by the fact that the people ultimately are the ones who retain the right of choice, as it is supposed to be.
While Hillary Clinton is not my preferred choice, I must applaud her victory. Though many mainstream pundants have already claimed that Obama was the loser. I disagree.
Obama's run in New Hampshire was reflective of an inspired electorate, who are also dedicated to real change.
Congratulations America for waking up. It's about time!

I posted this on Tech's thread & as AG did, I have to repeat it here -
"yes we can " sounds very nice but it begs the answer"how"?
The message I get from Hillary is more like "Yes we must"-
& must will always find a "how"

Hillary has received more political donations then most. From Insurance companies, Drug companies, Special interest groups, Lobbyist and more, now do you fail to grasp one simple fact, if elected it's pay back time. Who do you think she will represent, you? if you think yes you should go live with Alice in Wonderland. Why do party hacks vote party lines, jobs and favors that in the end comes, again out of your pocket.
Our corrupt political system remains in tune with reality.
Republicans are elated since now they have a chance at winning against the divider. Cry some more Hillary the dolts fell for it. You deserve an Oscar and Emmy combined.

Between McCain and Hillary, independents will be drawn to McCain and the Dems would have accomplished their usual understanding of the electorate and lost again.
Hate this war, hate the illegal immigrants but like myself independents will never accept Hillary. Realistic, pragmatic and that's the way it is. If its Hillary McCain will be the President. At least he has ethics and is willing to speak his mind regardless of the outcome.
The song "Crying in the chapel" comes to mind with the new insertion to the song, "Crying in the chapel on my way to the White House".

The real story here is that the Clintons did a brilliant job of managing expectations. They leaked that Hillary would probably lose by 12 to 15 percent. This energized Hillary's supporters. Moreover, voters leaning toward Obama but comfortable that he would win anyway then decided to vote for Edwards or McCain.

HUSSEIN is his middle name. Which line of Hussein is he out of? Remember blood is always thicker than water no matter how far removed.

Having read Clinton's Foreign Policy Manifesto, I am at least somewhat impressed. Found here:

if hillary's tears really helped her, and she only won by 2%, then she's in big trouble. whats she gonna do, cry in every state?
edwards should take SC but its his home state. I like him but he's fading as people begin to choose between obama and edwards to take on hillary.
so obama still has the edge.
everyone I know is voting for him.

Although I figured Hillary would win somewhere, this only goes to show the Democrats are still not about change. There are still many who will vote for the old Clinton status quo.
Hillary on health care? How much money do you think she is being supported with from Medical companies?
The media to hard on her as BILLY BOY was saying- Well answer this question Billy Boy. IS THERE ANY CANIDATE OR ANYONE COVERING THE ELECTION THAT COULD HUMILIATE; SHOW LITTLE RESPECT FOR OR DIGRACE HILLARY AS YOU DID HAVE WHILE LIVING OFF OUR TAX DOLLARS AND IN OUR WHITE HOUSE?
If the Democrats are so dumb to bring Hillary as their canidate then they deserve to lose and should keep their mouths shut for the next 4 years.
As a republican I would consider supporting Obama but I would NEVER vote these two liars back into the white house.
How can the voters be so off to yell for CHANGE and then bring the old back in.
