Hours before the voting started in New Hampshire today, the Hillary Clinton campaign was on the verge of implosion. At least that's what the Clinton campaign wanted us to believe.
The polls showed Barack Obama heading for a knockout blow against the inevitable Democratic presidential nominee. Hillary got teary eyed and her voice choked in a rare public display of emotion. Word was leaked that her campaign staff was going to be shaken up, that her campaign funding was in trouble and that pressure was mounting for her to drop from the race.
Tonight Hillary "stunned" the political world with a victory that seemed improbable this morning when the latest polls showed her down 13%.
We've been down this road before with the Clintons. They are masters of deception, feeding the media garbage that they breathlessly regurgitate and then marvel at how the Clintons beat the low expectations they set for themselves.
When then President Bill Clinton testified before a federal grand jury in the Monica Lewinsky case, the Clinton camp spread a tale of Bill Clinton flying into a 'purple rage' during his testimony.
Later, when videotape of his testimony revealed that he actually kept his cool, the media ignored the lies it had been fed and celebrated Clinton's coolness under fire.
The Clintons did it again tonight. Hillary's tears were as real as Bill's purple rage. All the while the media went with the story the Clintons wanted told about her diminished prospects in New Hampshire, their political machine was getting ready to put the shiv in Obama.
There was no way the Clintons were going to let Obama win. There will be stories of ballot shortages and other shenanigans, but that's all they'll be--stories told by embittered losers.
Welcome to the big leagues, Obama and the nut roots. As Johnny Rotten so famously asked, "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
Which states do we “expect” her to win ?
You are so right; there’s no earthly government that is worth spit for the most part. We need to look for the Kingdom of God and pray for it to come. The horrors of the Clinton debacles have only served to underscore that fact. The prospect of having them back in the earthly realm to continue their nasty dynasty, seeming to never be able to be rid of them, is still rather depressing. I guess we need to just pray and cast it on the Lord.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.
A short time ago, Clinton was a double-digit leader in the NH polls. Now, she can make a 2-pt win over Obama seem like a great upset, instead of Obama having dramatically closed the gap on her in a Northeast state she should win handily.
I wonder if the pollsters are in the tank for Hillary or if her little crying act brought the female vote back to her.
True, but the Bill/Hill show had us fighting for the Muslims in Bosnia. We bombed an Orthodox Christian nation to support Drug Running Islamic Terrorists. Either choice is bad, and fortunately, those of us on the right do not have to make it.
Should some curious journalist compare the voting rolls in NH with registrations in MA and NY? If those people then vote in their own primaries, that would be a crime, but what if they consider NY a foregone conclusion so they don't actually vote in NY but instead same-day register and vote in NH? < /tinfoil>

Is there any difference?
I called it "As the World Squirms - the Bill and Hill Soap Opera."
"Of course I'm voting for that nice black man!" they say, but "eff that" they mutter before they pull the lever in private.
They are both deeply flawed candidates and the fact that either one is positioned to win an election to take control of the free world should be alarming to any person who is interested in living.
Chill brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Interesting that Hillary was down by about 10% as of last night....
“He estimated that about 10 percent of the votes cast in Nashua will be newly registered voters who signed up at the polls today. That matches estimates for the state total voter turnout and same-day registrants.”

I truly believe that the Republican Party at every political level and conservatism at every level will do much better this November 4 if Hillary Clinton does end up as the final Democratic choice for POTUS.
No, they said he was immoral and his policies were awful and he used drugs and he demonstrated against Vietnam so couldn't win.
And they said she would turn so many off with her nasty ways that she would also deny them the WH.
Then they said she couldn't win a Senate seat. Surprise! Now they same thing is happening...too many say she can't win the Oval.
They've been saying they can't, can't, can't for years. Guess what...it's all lies and party of their "comeback kid" strategy.
They are diabolical. Don't underestimate...again.
Ahhhhh but what will the DUmmies say about their anointed queen who has overcome the struggle of Obama?
the vote fraud thing....that is why I would be very very scared of clinton in a general
I think the press got a bit overheated at the thought of this big upset and played it up a tad too much..that’s what I think. But it did succeed in showing the rest of the Country who and what Hillary Clinton really is...and that’s enough for me.
