Crap.Clinton, McCain emerge as comeback winners in New Hampshire primary
WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Clinton pulled off an unexpected narrow victory in New Hampshire on Tuesday, dramatically rescuing her bid for the White House in a tense battle with Barack Obama.
Clinton, who's fighting to become the first woman in the Oval Office, mounted a surprisingly strong showing after bracing for a second defeat following her devastating third-place showing in Iowa.

While Obama, vying to make history as the first black U.S. president, scored big among independents and voters between 18 and 24, Clinton attracted lower-income voters and seniors and did best among voters citing the economy as their top concern.
But a big factor for Clinton was women voters, who had gone over to Obama in large numbers in Iowa. Nearly half in New Hampshire were once again supporting her, while Obama got only a third.

Republicans = tax breaks and high debt
Democrats = tax the crap out of you but still spendaholics
Where is the happy medium damnit!
THAT quarterback is NOT a Pro Bowl quarterback. Never was and never will be.
The role of the 3rd party at this time is only to sway the election away from the mainstream candidate to which they are most similar in philosophy. (i.e. Ross Perot killed Bush Sr.'s hopes, as Nader did for Gore!!)
I'd happily contribute to another Nader run if he's up for it!!!
