Thrilling? Don't think so. Not yet. Well... Hillary did lose nicely.

So far, we have Iowa in the books. Caucuses. Held at night. It's a kooky system. But it's a red state.

New Hampsha - blue state. Real primary, though. In past years it was the first focus of the Presidential Primary season.

For Republicans, I'd consider South Carolina to be the first real test.

Will New Hampshire Decide the Next President?>>>>>>>>>>> No, just as in 1999, the South Carolina primary will indicate who will be the Dem and Republican nominees.

“New Hampsha - blue state.”

And getting bluer by the minute...

“From 2002 to 2007, Democrats registered 45,000 new voters; Republicans registered 2,800.

“Republicans, who 12 years ago made up 41.7 percent of the presidential primary electorate, now constitute 29.4 percent, Gardner said. Democrats, who made up 30.5 percent of all voters in 1996, have dipped to 25.7 percent. Republicans constituted a plurality of all voters in New Hampshire until the general election of 2000 when they were overtaken by independents.

“In the past year, the number of independents, who can vote in either party’s presidential primary, increased by almost 7,000 while the GOP rolls dipped by 8,340 voters, and Democrats fell by 4,033, Gardner said.

Oops...sorry. I meant to say NH will decide the next President only if he or she is a liberal one...which is a pretty safe bet the way things are going.
