Game's ON... My prediction... Obama in a blowout, McCain by 5.
Bah, you’re probably right...that’s what peeves me to think though is that they will get away with it yet again! grrrr
>>Dont forget the Super-delegate count...Think somebody posted last night that there are over 800 Super delegates on the dimRATS side and most of them are leaning towards Hillary..<<
Yes, I should have said that Hillary and Obama each got 9 delegates tied to last night’s primary vote. Unlike most of the states, in NH looks like Obama got a 3 to 2 super delegate advantage over Hillary.

Beat me by 6 minutes...
Thanks! Found it and will blog, with hat top to you!
the 221,000 is only the Dem total of ballots cast. IF you look at the link closely, you see that the 69,000 GOP are in a separate column, making about 290,000, which is just right (and slightly above), the number of votes tallied. No discrepancy
Overly hopeful, it seems.
Hope Fred has the money to get to Feb 5.
I haven’t seen a lot of evidence that Fred is serious about running; he’s just too casual. I think he’d be the best choice, but it might turn out to be another of those lesser-of-two-evils, in November. I’m so tired of having to make those kind of picks, but unlike many one-issue FReepers, I’ll vote AGAINST any RAT, even if the R. candidate is — BARF — Huckleberry.
Man, I hope you never get sick and one doctor tells you you only have a short time left on this earth—would you give up as easily?? Or would you look for second opinions??
This is only the second state—we’ve got 48 more!
Give FRed a chance, for goodness’ sake, before writing him off!
Mitt came in second in Iowa the state that in addition to voting for Huckabee, also voted for Pat Robertson. That hardly shows that Mitt's unelectable, and has nothing to do with electability. It tells us far more about the voters in Iowa than it does about Mitt. That you draw such a conclusion from the Iowa caucus is laughably absurd.
Mitt's in it for the long haul. He has more delegates than any other Republican in the race and remains a formidable candidate and THE ONE to beat. His two second and one place showing thus far, supersedes the winnings of all the potential R nominees.
Now YOU deal.
Romney has 1 first place, 2 seconds, plenty of cash, endorsements, successful private sector executive experience, successful public sector executive experience.
Khepri likes the "anti-Mormon cult" mantra, doesn't he?
Mark Steyn gave me a new tagline this morning:
C*H*A*N*G*E (Covert Hillary Agency for Negative Gushing Effusions)
I hope this thing goes all the way to the conventions; we haven't had that kind of fun for years.
Bbut, in the general, Mitt's religion will matter far less.
Mitt has a lot going for him including everything on your list and that's just for starters. : )
Clever and HILLARYous acronym from Mark Stein! : )
But he's in first place, with 30 delegates.
Huckabee is second with 21 delegates.
Hm.
But Mitt's finished and should drop out! : )
I know he’s been gone a year, it was a joke (hence the DEAD RINGER, LOL)
Nor did my post claim so. You asked a question and I answered it.
The Real Conservative! Please listen to this!

Very true. Also amazes me how many who are “politically knowledgeable” have no clue. Making broad proclamations of “fact” at this point is stupid. This think is far from over.
