A few thoughts on last night’s New Hampshire primary…
- We’ll freely admit it: Even us cold, cruel rape-pillage-and-burn conservatives felt a twinge of sympathy for ol’ girl before last night.
- How could the polls get it that wrong on the Democrat side while pretty much nailing the eventual Republican results? A quick perusal of the message boards revealed a majority opinion: Fraud!
- Huckabee was supposed to be in trouble in New Hampshire because the Granite State was allegedly all “no tax, no government”. So to confirm this point, the voters go out and give McCain 37% of the vote and the victory….? Then again, since none of the Republican candidates outside of Fred (who didn’t campaign there) have been espousing anything resembling a coherent conservative message, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised at the results.
- Sean Hannity is a tool. We find Fox’s house lib, Alan Colmes, infinitely more likeable than that smug little punk.
- Laura Ingraham is a babe.
- We think Brent Bozell and NewsBusters serve a useful purpose but, honestly… why bother when you have completely unabashed, unashamed admission like this.
- So… Is Iowa wrong, again?
- Back to our 2nd point… How does this happen? Everybody was in the tank for Obama, it was Obama 24/7 for the past week, it was all but a foregone conclusion, a double-digit walk-in-the-park for the Dem's "rock star".… people writing Hillary’s obits… only a few people like Dick Morris and Bob Shrum (Bob Shrum!) were saying she still had a shot. How? How did it happen?
- If you haven’t seen it, here’s the “tears” felt across the nation. The YouTube clip doesn’t do this justice. The lighting is perfect, the audio crisp, the camera angle and close-up flattering and Hillary has this weary but warm glow about her. We saw it in HD last night and we were absolutely mesmerized. And this was supposed to have been an unscripted moment captured by a free-lance photographer? Right. Classic. Clinton.
- We brought up a while back (here) how Hillary was going to play both sides of the gender coin and be successful doing it. Whenever it suited her, she would play either the tuff chick or the vulnerable lady. A few people who will go unnamed, doubted the effectiveness of this strategy. She played the road-weary but idealistic lady on Monday, knocked it out of the park and walked away with the New Hampshire primary. How do ya like her now?
- For posterity’s sake: We don’t ever remember primary season being this fascinating, this compelling, this entertaining and this downright fun… and doggone, if Democracy can’t be fun then what’s the use?
