1. I didn't think she was close to done, but I didn't think NH would be so close.

5. I thought Obama was going to be unstoppable.
Like Kerry in 2004.

18. Same here
I thought, after her losing Iowa and Obama going into New Hampshire a celebrity, that he'd win NH and then South Carolina.

After which Hillary would spend major energy and resources catching up by Super Tuesday. A long comeback iow.

After which who knows.


Alot of people have been wrong about just the small, contained picture, so it just shows the futility of predicting the long haul.

Going independent had nothing to do with Hillary's fortunes

14. SaveElmer, what in the world would we do without Mark Twain...
just catching up on the new situation as it stands right now. and sat here digesting it all...and the Twain bit just popped into head as it must have yours.

Just doing the math earlier, I had reached the conclusion that we could cancel the rest of the primaries and save a buck or two.

What a surprise, and it appears that the MSM, talking heads, and the polling organizations all have been eating some humble crow...perhaps with catsup so they have a veggie.

Nice to see some nice quiet thoughtful posts tonight. More like the old DU.

13. I agree. Everyone (specially the overly-cocky Obama) thought whe would lose...
by double digits...even if she places second place in single digits, then she won. The MSM and Obama overplayed expectations and appearances are pivotal in politics. If she loses by a small margin, the Obama (hot air) balloon will have lost a bit of air.


:kick: and recommend

19. Not nearly so smug as Obama after winning 1 single delegate
advantage.

It's amazing that you could refer to 'Hillary isn't dead yet' as arrogance after what you've been saying all week. Just amazing.
