Man, this election is ALREADY a pisser. And I'm having a BALL watching this stuff.

Looks like she won New Hampshire.

The polls were TOTALLY wrong!

Maybe yes, maybe no. I'll wait for the final tally in the morning. I think the counters are going to be up all night.
I'm confused though; Didn't she already have two terms as president ;)

The results won't change. The counters learned how to count votes in Florida. :rofl:

Seriously--this was one s*** of a big deal--love her or hate her.

The pollsters were off by DOUBLE DIGITS on this.

She just gave an incredible speech, has a ton of money, yet all of the experts were writing her off yesterday.

What we laughed about was that she found her voice in New Hampshire.

Well, I'm no expert, but I certainly wasn't fool enough to write her off. Hell, there are 48 states to go and the Clinton Machine hasn't even warmed up!

It ain't over 'til Rosie O'Donnel sings...

If independants could not vote, like in Pa, what would the total be and for whom? There are over 50% registared indepdant.

A lot of it with her, I think, is just perception. So many people hate her to BEGIN with, that if she lost New Hampshire and then lost South Carolina--even though this wouldn't really mean that the fat lady sang--the impression in the other states would be:

"Can't this bitch take a hint?"

Know what I mean? Voter perception would be that she already "lost"--even though factually that's totally inaccurate--and they would perceive her as pushy and not knowing when to throw in the towel.

This was a really big win for her that's going to have enormous impact in upcoming primaries.

Off the top of my head, I think she would have won by an even higher percentage:

Independents are leaning more toward Obama on the Democratic side. Not sure but PRETTY sure.

:lol: Proof once more that you need to have an id to vote even in the primary's. I guess Obama couldn't get his students up to New Hampshire.

Face it guys, Hillary might be our next president. She won't do any worse than the rest of them. Besides, I am voting for Rich. The rest are scary.

With all the Hub-bub about her supposed "emotional breakdown", my opinion, well thought out and planned. Does anyone think that she may have gotten some "I feel sorry for you" votes? She has tried the tactic of they're beating up on me cuz I'm a girl before. Both Bill and Hillary are big proponents of whatever it takes to win. Not looking for an argument, just opinions on their situation, not mine. I'm sure people think I'm screwed up. Doug

:lol: 8) Don't think your screwed up Doug, just think they all do whatever it takes. Some people are just so much better at putting on the "face." :R

Better the dog you know. Maybe Bill will get Jessie, Jimmy and Jim to all bite their lips with him. 8) :lol: I can picture Hillary rolling her eyes in private and smiling gently in public.

Heck maybe they will all bite their lips. :D K. all those who really wanna be president gently bite the lower lip and give a sad eyed look. Do it three times and if it is the same every time your in.

Hey Rich, you can bite your lip and say "I didn't inhale more than once" with a straight face....RIGHT. :lol:
