New thread.
And lo, the pundits' narrative gets blown the fuck up once more. But don't freak out, you jittery brained freaks. It wasn't over because someone won in Iowa, and it's not over now just because they didn't win in New Hampshire. Relax, and smoke some of whatever you usually do. It's pot, isn't? I knew it.

If he were actually interested in winning... I don't see any path to the nomination for him. He polls about as well nationally as he was polling here in NH. He will get nothing out NH that helps him in NV and SC, and so he will get nothing out of those states towards Feb. 5. But what do I know?
As for splits, the obvious answer is that Edwards voters would go for Obama, because a lot of them are anti-Hillary, farther left types (i.e. kossacks). But it may be that the other half of Edwards' vote is the blue collar workers that screwed him tonight.
Nope, it's based on percentages. Winning NH (even by3-4%) is more of a psychological win.
I did the same exact thing... New Hampshire disappoints me.
Michigan.
Next up is the new kid on the block, the Nevada caucus on the 19th.
Fuck yes.
Edit: that is to say, it was good.
You make this sound as if I listen to Faux News and talk radio, I don't.
I've always voted blue, I pushed for Webb, and as a military veteran pushed for Kerry. I'm a solid Democrat, but I don't want her, what she stands for (in terms of the press and imperial white house), or to help further entrench the American political family system.
Far from that. I'm a pro-gay rights, pro-choice, Democrat with a countdown till Bush is gone clock on my desk at work.
But I'm more loyal to this country then I am to any political party, and the continuation of this, be it blue or red, is far more damaging in the long term.
I wasn't completely decided to vote red against her until I saw senators and governors I respect, all Democrats mind you, explain why they wouldn't want to work in an administration under her, that clinched it for me. Biden's comments on why he wouldn't be vice or sec state under her were classic ones... but I guess you'll assert Biden is a victim of right wing media and like, just because he want's nothing to do with her, great.
I'm still hoping it's not her, but if it is I have to do what I feel is right.
On to something positive, hoping for an Obama win in SC
On the black screen
Doesnt count.
It was an Obama speech. That said, I was humping the screen by the time he said goodnight.
God, I'm so pissed right now.
Whatever his flaws, Obama gives one motherfucker of a speech.
He did finally trot out the "Fired up! Ready to go!" line.
Why did you fail America and all our children yet to come?
kisses,
concerned
As I said before I was really hoping Obama's gaining momentum could get him a generous slice (and the win) in other important states that still lean Hilldog, like California. And I really, really, really don't want to see Hillary go back to being smug, like she was before the Obama surge.

He was never expected to win. He was hoping for third, his campaign is very happy right now.
527 heaven
I want tips for watching that.
Really? How about Nevada?
Nevada counts, since they had the Democratic Party's blessing to move their caucus up.
Michigan and Florida did not, hence they are sending no delegates to the convention. Literally nobody who lives in those states matter. If I lived in, say, Detroit or Miami, I'd be a wee tad peeved at this.
It was Obama's Iowa speech rephrased and spoken in a monotone except when she spoke about her own Presidential bid. The woman thinks she's owed this for whatever reason and it drives me nuts. That said, I'll still probably support her over the trolls in the Republican primary.
Obama's speech was very similar to the Iowa one except with a "yes we can!" theme/section added on at the end. He's so very excellent.
I have to wonder what will happen as the primaries move west/south and away from the feminists which seemed to really form the backbone of Clinton's effort here.
Not possible at this stage. He's still like 9000 votes up.
And I know this feeds into the "Hillary Clinton gets critiqued for her fashion sense, that's so misogynist" concept, but I have to go there: Hillary was dressed like a minor character in Jade Empire.
Edit: oh god, and his laugh.
It is delightful.
In large part I agree with her policies and her experience. But Jesus Christ if she isn't just inherently repelling.
