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.

I agree Guru and Tornado Spotter.
And earlier I said I thought Romney, Huck, and Rudy hit homeruns over the fence, whereas Palin hit one out of the park. But I think Rudy's was actually outstanding enough to be out of the park too. Same with Fred Thompson.

Politics and football do not mix and nor should they.
First of all, I think both parties are pretty much full of (insert word not allowed on this site). However while I have issues with the GOP, the Democrats have severe logical flaws in their economic plans.
You can try, but in essence you can NOT successfully tax corporations. Corporations by their nature will make their profit. If you tax them 10% higher, they'll simply raise prices 10%. Sure you can 're-distribute' the wealth and pass those corporate taxes to those who are less fortunate, however all you'll do is increase their cost of living at the same time and leave them in the same position. The only way the Democrats 'economic plan' would work is if corporations and the 'elite wealthy' decided to take less profit and eat the taxes.
Its not gonna happen. For one if I was in their shoes I'd raise prices to cover tax increases too!!
