Get off your holier than thou step. Obama is already playing his race card.

[jveritas]

OK as you wish, she is a shoe in for President, are you ok now?

[Ann Archy]

White people LIED to the pollsters about voting for a BLACK guy!!

Obama is a Daley Machine Representitive....he ain’t a virgin on prom night.

Daley's Chicago Machine doesn't reach into New Hampshire. That's the lesson Obama is learning. He underestimated the resources that the Clintons have been building for decades now

The good news is that we get to watch them spending their resources fighting each other.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Damn good analysis, friend. Of course I agree completely.

[Hildy]

It’s pretty funny that a Conservative WHITE state like Iowa went overwhelming for Obama..but the progressive northeast state didn’t.

[Dick Holmes]

How many times have we heard Democrats condemn Republicans and conservatives of being racist while they live in black-free neighborhoods? They wanted to do the “cool” thing and vote for Obama, the first serious black candidate for the US presidency but when the polls and pundits started claiming he’s going to win if he wins New Hampshire; I’m sure many panicked and voted for Hillary. They would’ve preferred other states “do the dirty work” by preventing Obama from getting the nomination while they were “enlightened” and voted for him; but the polls and pundits changed all that. Better to nip it in the bud now so to speak.

You may be on to something, there. It's supposedly a well-known effect, that whites lie to pollsters so as not to seem racist.

A further case in point is the behavior of the independents. They were supposed to break towards Obama but suddenly went for McCain. Why? What happened?

As lots of folks have noted, the hype of all the polls showing a blowout for Obama might have made those thinking of voting for him complaisent.

Racisme? Who knows. Mighty suspicious though.

Maybe a touch of parochialism, too. I remember a comment on the Newshour last Friday. Mark Shields is from New England, and he noted:

I thought Obama made a slip today when he talked to that crowd that we heard in the excerpt about beyond New Hampshire. I mean, New Hampshire voters are used to -- to candidates paying attention to them. And they don't want to just be one more domino in this inevitable nomination process.

They -- Judd Gregg, the former governor, current United States senator, Republican, says, in Iowa, they pick corn. In New Hampshire, we pick presidents.

And they're not particularly interested in what people are going to do in South Carolina or beyond or elsewhere, in Nevada. They are interested in what they do. And I think that's -- that's where I would focus the emphasis.

The locals up there don't like being taken for granite!

It just seemed that in at least two very high profile deaths one from suicide and one from a plane crash, it appeared that the victims were on the verge of either being called as witnesses against some very high profile politicians. - The return to normalcy for the past eight years where things like that are concerned almost make the Clinton years surreal.

........Remember the stories the last two days about how many New Yorkers and Massachussetts folks were at her rallies? And today about how many same-day registrations there were? Even when I take my tinfoil hat off, there are some strange and ugly vibes coming from this race.
.........................

I’ve read that 10% of the voters registered yesterday.

I’d love to have property records matched to the new voter registrations.

Like today, or tomorrow!

Could Obama Win on Clinton's Home Turf?

Hell, no he couldn't! Voter fraud is the key election winning "tool" of the Democrats. We just saw this tool used in NH for the Hill.

The unique rules under which the New Hampshire Primary system works: You can move to the state one day and vote in the primaries the next. So-called independents don't have to decide to which party they are going to throw their vote until they enter the voting booth.

City election workers at tables set up to handle same-day registration rarely got a breather.

When the news re the shortage of ballots came out, most of us knew that the rigging of the vote was in. How many renta mobbers from nearby out of state colleges brought in to fill the auditoriums for Hill, stayed to vote, vote and vote for Hill?

How many union thugs voted, voted and voted for Hill?

How many illegal aliens were bused in to vote, vote and vote for Hill?

Will Je$$e HiJack$on and the non Reverend Al $harpton descend on NH to complain about a black candidate getting beat by the illegal Clintoon machine. Don't hold your breath.

“Let’s not help spread this “anyone who doesn’t vote for Obama” is racist crap. “

I didn’t say that, go back and reread my comment. BTW, Rush said basically the same thing as I did in the first hour of his show. I also heard an Obama voter say the same thing when interviewed on All Things Considered on Public Radio this afternoon.

I’m so confused. Can’t wait to go to baseball spring training and let this stuff calm down.

[Capt. Tom]

I have always believed that the Hillary-Obama contest is a sham, and that their plan all along has been a Clinton/Obama ticket wherein Obama serves first as her Vice-President, then succeeding to the Presidency after she has “her turn”.

That is called the "Dream Team" by the socialists ( dems)- Tom

[upsdriver]

Are you going to spring training to watch or to play?
