"women and minorities hardest hit"

According to Drudge,

According to Drudge, Hillary's ahead 38% to Obama's 36%.  Must've been the tears.  Liberals are "moved" by "feelings".

Even Phoney ones

Well hillary the silver spoon queen cries for votes and gets it.

Some college districts not in yet

Some guy on CNN said that they haven't counted heavy collegiate districts where Obama is favored much more than Clinton.

new hampshire

Everyone I've ever met from New Hampshire was a raging Liberal, so I guess it will be McCain and Huckabee for the Republicans. I think you can stick a fork in Clinton. She's lost the mainstream media.

I have a feeling Romney might pull it out tonight.

Does anybody else get that feeling?  I predict he edges McCain by 2 pts.  Huck is DISTANT third.

 

"women and minorities hardest hit"

Missouri, you may care to rephrase that... now Bill Clinton may be pulling it out tonight if Hillary isn't around.

Rush Limbaugh on NH vote

"Now they're saying if Romney finishes second, he's finished. How can that be? How can coming in second in the first two states finish somebody? If he comes in second, it may disappoint some people, but it also means that in these two states he's the only Republican to win high spots in both. The idea that anybody's finished after New Hampshire and Iowa is absurd. It's Drive-By Media spin designed to dispirit and depress people. They're out there saying, "Where does Romney go after New Hampshire?" Where do any of them go? It's wide open! They go on to the next primary! South Carolina and Michigan. That's where they go. For the Beltway crowd -- not just the media, but for people that live and work inside the Beltway -- to make conclusive statements about who's going to win and who won't based on all this -- two states -- is nuts, at least as far as the Republicans are concerned. There is no one candidate that has any front-runner momentum right now at all on the Republican side."

Second is the new

Second is the new first!

Or in Hillary's case, in Iowa, third is the new first, as she claimed victory ata "victory rally" tha resembled a Grateful Dead reunion.

ClintonInc Apparatchiks have been claiming that unless Obama gets a double digit lead, she wins NH.

Go figure.

It doesn't. Wishful thinking on their part. I think McCain won NH last time around too. Guess what? He didn't get the nomination. Now, that's not to say Romney will get it, but it isn't over just because he came in second in the first 2 states.

Exactly! There are 50

Exactly!

There are 50 states, and so far Mitt Romney has two second place finishes, and a win. That means he has the most delegates.

Rudy Guiliani is probably the one rethinking his strategy about now.

NH Primary

I was an attendee at McCain's last stop Monday nite in Portsmouth: Wife Cindi intro was: "Here's the man who will bring the troops home" (huh?)" my husband John McCain." The senator told a joke older then he is, and grabbed a global warming placard from the crowd prompting a 5 minute riff where he allowed that as the preponderance of public opinion being that the phenonenon exists, he pledged to make this a priority of his administration. Went in uncommitted, left as a Romney vote.

NBC has just projected

NBC has just projected McCain the winner, with a whopping 11% of the precincts reporting? He is up by only 2,000 votes...

What the heck?

NJ count

Its because the spread has been constant throughout the count, so they are projecting it will continue with the same spread. They maybe privileged on projected figures by county.

But its still too close to call, at least I still have hope

Exit polling

Don't forget that the networks do exit polling.  They may have poll results from far more than that 11%. 

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

Yeah Rog, just been on

Yeah Rog, just been on Drudge... he's headlined that call as well..

BUT nothing on the two nanny state socialists with exactly the same number of precincts counted as well.

That could be because this show Clinton leading 38/36.

Which, of course, runs counter to the predictions. So could be the McCain call was made on basis of it confirming the predicts.

Check out my exclusive edit of BBC News America's interview with Mrs Clinton: It's news to me!

The spread between Mitt and

The spread between Mitt and McCain is fairly large and consistent. The spread between Clinton and Obama is thin. It's starting to look like Senator Clinton may win this deal.

wwow. I am just shocked NBC

wwow. I am just shocked NBC was calling the race when 89% of the vote had not been counted. They have been wrong before, right?

I guess the rumors of Hillary's demise was premature? haha.

 

RtS

not our press, perish the thought

GoHunter08

My thought it is God

I used to have Ronald Reagan faith like Thomas Jefferson had faith in the people, but having watched Minnesota elect everything from Wellstone Lenin to Ossama Ellison........then cruising over to cowboy North Dakota and Montana to see the communists elected there........top it off with South Dakota and Nebraska filled with biggest dolts ever to vote for a Hagel or Tim Johnson...........

Usher in Sodomfornia coupled with Washingreen..........pop in a few New York Clintons, co Virginia n*gger knockin Jim Webb and old favorite Bobby Byrd..........

and mount up to Iowa always picking the worst candidates followed by the posse in New Hampshire always picking the biggest left wing wacko..........

I have no faith in America. I have no faith in Americans. It has always been God building and digging this God created nation out of the stupidity it votes for.

Look at Jeff Rense of the internet malevolent goofs. Don't vote as voting is a fraud when it is not so goof like Ron Paul rolling around trying to destroy the GOP further, but soon as Paul prances around then voting is a good idea.

Behold vote once vote often MSM, thinking it is cute in Democrats stealing elections and dead people voting.

See the Malkins, Limbaughs, Hannity's and O'Reilly's making one huge pile of money off of the a** busting work people like me have done all our lives and yet always seeing only 90% with the other 10 always being blind to the same old plagues which promote the things which destroy America.

I am warry of the greatest fractionalizing America has seen since 1840 which brought about the worst of times for America. Right now the Democrats are being led to a destruction they can not even understand. Republicans have already had their Reagan built party destroyed........mafia money McCain, Clinton Democrat Huckabee, anarchist Ron Paul saying he will not support the GOP, socialist Rudy.....yup some great picks there if you are a liberal fascist.

.....and into this we have Al Gore waiting in the wings to be ushered into the seat by super delegates.........but now in major trouble as the cartel faction of the New York Times and Boston Globe both attacking globAL warming as a scam to thwart Gore.............but to install the other global communist lurking in the wings in Bloomberg.

Obama is a light weight and a disaster. He is like sending out a wooden ship against a steel ship. Hillary is crazy as always.

The GOP has no one Americans will elect.

That all means that the Jeff Rense anarachists along with the Molotov Mob of Kos and HuffPo have suceeded in setting the stage that some alternative is going to be billed to save America.

Gore or Bloomberg. Americans might as well write in Putin and get it over with as the party system has been destroyed for a purpose and while people prattle on about candidates as rancid to this nation as rotten meat the agenda goes on.

There is a reason George Allen was destroyed. He would have been the Reagan president this nation required.

This nation is going to have a time of it this time before God pulls us out of the fire which is coming.

"Independents" Break for McCain

If Obama's victory is smaller than projected and McCain's victory is larger than projected, it simply means "independents" broke for McCain. McCain beat Obama.

Personally I think we have

Personally I think we have too many people running. Bring back the smoke filled rooms, give us 4 candidates to chose from. A RINO ( so that he can be beaten every time ) a social conservative / moderate, a fiscal conservative / moderate, and a true red conservative. To be a candidate for the smoke room, candidate must submit 10 million to the party.

 

Or maybe the vote should be

Or maybe the vote should be in pairs...because I am really curious if it was just between Romney and McCain how would it turn? Or between Romney and Huck? McCain and Huck? 

Here's the

Here's the thing.

Remember how Demoocrats believe as an article of faith, that if a Republican wins the actual election after opinion polls suggest the Democrat to be leading...

then the election was stolen.

Well, the last poll before voting began had Obama with 13 point lead over Clinton, so if she were to win...

Don't Democrats HAVE to believe she STOLE IT?

Romney doesn't bulldoze abortion clinics

I believe Huckabee is ready to unleash Chuck Norris on abortion clinics while Mitt Romney has yet to bulldoze one. I proposed the following:

Mitt Romney needs to go into an abortion vote state and buy a couple of Abortion clinics and bulldoze them on national TV. It is the only thing he can do at this point.

If Romney were to do that, it would be a step in the right direction.

I know it would be only a symbolic gesture, but he's got some ground to make up regarding abortion.

I think it's logical Romney has always been against abortion, but realized he had to say differently to win as Gov of Mass.  But it's something he has to live down now.

You know, after the abomination of the Kennedy amnesty bill, I knew I could no longer support Senator McCain. But I refrained from publicly commenting on him for a lot of reasons, the biggest being out of respect for his service and bravery but also because I thought he really was an independent thinker.

The last straw is this global warming kick. With twenty minutes of research on the internet, anyone can quickly determine that AGW is a well intentioned fraud. But instead of doing that easy research and a little independent thinking, the Senator appears to have embraced it. And to have embraced it solely to accrue political support! It is a ridiculous and disappointing spectacle.

Dave Barry once said something like, the reason congresspeople go on "fact-finding missions" around the world is not to have a wonderful time on a beach in Aruba ... okay, it is in part. But the main reason is because there's something in Washington that steadily erodes politician's intelligence and if they didn't get out periodically, their higher brain activity would go to zero. Looks like he was right.

  If hillary happens to win

  If hillary happens to win the nomination all the excited obamians are going to find it tough to care about her after they have had a taste of 'real change'.  Having the dems dispirited would normally would be good news for Republicans but they have a fairly good chance of running a liberal too.  We may end up with an election almost nobody cares about.

If dims get dispirited over

If dims get dispirited over over a Clinton nomination that will only help Republicans! Everyone will vote to make sure she doesn't get the keys to the White House!

I think we will end up with a fine candidate for President.

Hillary is more dangerous than Obama

IMO, Hillary can pull women to vote for her, I have personally seen conservative women not like it when Obama said she "was likeable enough" and feel bad for her crying the other day. I said it the other day, she just pulled back the soccer mom vote crying and won New Hampshire. Expect more emotional tactics in the future.

You really don't want to bet against women getting their first serious chance in history to vote for a Female president.

The only real counter to her is Rudy and Romney. Rudy has the best chance against her hands down.

Huckabee: Raising Taxes OK
The Anti "Man-Made" Global Warming Resource

You're right. Rudy or Mitt

You're right. Rudy or Mitt are the two who will make good Presidents. Rudy's gotta get it in gear! Romney should get the nod. The more I see the the guy, the more I like him.

A Romney/Clinton race will be good fun!

Same day register..

Remember. In N.H you can vote the same day you register. Remember Hill has 5000 drivers to take folks to vote. Remember they bused in lots of folks from N.Y and Mass..Remember she is a Clinton. Something is starting to smell a little hillary in here. And they will get away with it.

Wow it looks like The

Wow it looks like The Dragon Lady is going to win tonight. This after Obama's convincing win in Iowa, polls showing double digit leads in NH for Obama, the Hillary scampaign in panic and imploding mode, and even reports of the possible dropping out of the wicked witch's candidacy.

But alas, I guess she is also the "comeback kid". She keeps maintaining a 39-36% lead with over 4000 votes counted. It was too good to be true. She wants it too bad. The Clintons have no shame and are willing to do anything to prevail. I guess they will. Thanks you people in New Hampshire.

Not Yet But . . .

They still have the college towns (Commie central) to count where Obama should be very strong and still might beat Clinton. Although NBC jumped the gun and has already given the election to Clinton.

But I would be interested in three post-election counts:

  1. Where the indepdendents went. If they went more to McCain and not Obama it may be a sign for Obama as an African American.
  2. I believe Hillary picked up more women than in Iowa and isn't it coincidental that just yesterday we had two feminist moments (the tears and the Iron my shirt protestor). It should be clear that both were staged and NOTHING is beneath the Clintons to get what they want.
  3. There was an issue of running out of ballots. In what precincts did that happen?

 

Fox

I see this from all media but Fox has been in the tank for Huck in Iowa and now McCain in NH. They have pronounced Romney dead more times than I can count. They ignore Fred.

BTW why does Wyoming not matter? Its not like Iowa or NH are huge states.

Why is the media ignoring the obvious fact that other states that don't allow independants to choose the (R) nominee will never vote for McCain? They mention Michigan as the only other state that McCain has a realitistic chance of winning in the next several and they allow independants. Notice a trend? Two Fox commentators said that McCain is the new front runner. What? This was the same garbage as 2000. Then SC smacked McCain back to the Senate and we never heard from the guy again until he was opposing the Bush tax cuts.

 As to Huck, he may take a few southern states, "may", but then what? Is he going to carry OH, NY, PA, CA, MI? No! So how does he get 1000 delegates? Even if he takes the whole south it doesn't add up.

 Bottom line- it is anybody's convention. This may go on for a long time.

For crying out loud People. This is only the first two laps of a 500 lap race and some of you are already wringing your hands and throwing in the towel. These first two runs mean absolutely nothing. Cotton candy politics in two of the most liberal areas of the country.

Shamus McAnus wins

Thank goodness NH is behind us now.  I don't think Shamus McAnus will last very long beyond this day, but this shows to me that those who require fiscal conservatism only are in for a rude awakening in November. 

I ♣ My Seal

It is not Fiscal Conservatism Only

It is not without fiscal conservatism. The following candidates are fiscally conservative:

Romney, Rudy, Fred and Hunter

The following would be good on Foreign Policy:

Hunter, Rudy, Fred, McCain and Romney

The following would be good on conservative moral values:

Huckabee, Romney, Fred and Hunter

The following would be good on Abortion:

Huckabee, Hunter, Fred and Romney

So the brilliant evangelicals, instead of choosing Hunter, Fred or Romney choose Huckabee - Hello!

Please don't start trying to blame fiscal conservatives for this when there were plenty of compromise candidates. No one wanted to forget about abortion as an issue, they did not want to sacrifice every other conservative issue for abortion. I'm Pro-Life but I have to feed and protect my family.

Do evangelicals even realize that if they had rallied around Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson this would not even be an issue right now?

Always thought Ron Paul was a nut case.  This proves it. No way he can pretend that he didn't know what was being written in his own news letters.
