Just waiting for Super Tuesday ...

A day after the New Hampshire primary recast the presidential race, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Wednesday that the candidates’ debate on Saturday was a turning point in her surprising victory over Senator Barack Obama, while Mr. Obama sought to remain upbeat and traveled to New York on a fund-raising mission.
On the Republican side, Senator John McCain, fresh off his own comeback victory over former Gov. Mitt Romney, jetted off to Michigan, where in next Tuesday’s primary he will attempt to overcome Mr. Romney’s natural advantage in the state of his birth.
The results from Tuesday night breathed new life into the Clinton and McCain campaigns less than a week after the two candidates placed third and fourth respectively in the Iowa caucuses. The results left the Republican field in a muddled state with no clear front-runner, and seemed to foretell a long and intense competition on the Democratic side between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama through the Super Tuesday primaries on Feb. 5.
Despite his surprising setback in New Hampshire, Mr. Obama got a bit of good news Wednesday, when he learned that Unite Here, a union representing nearly a half million laundry, apparel and hotel workers, had endorsed his candidacy. The union made the announcement later in the day at its New York headquarters and in Las Vegas, where it has a local, Culinary Local 226, representing more than 60,000 casino, hotel and restaurant workers, that is by far the largest and most politically potent union in Nevada.
Unite Here leaders hoped that their endorsement would help put Mr. Obama over the top in the Nevada caucuses on Jan. 19, and give him new momentum.

Or maybe there was really no turning point, but rather the polls were simply wrong.
She’s really glorying in this win. Well let her! Other primaries loom. The longer she basks in the New Hampshire glow, the less time she’s out actively campaigning. In the South she is going to have a tough time.
So bitchiness and “dagger eyes” trump tears now, is that it?
That, and rigging the machines!
