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'd say that Baker-inspired, Young Republican Riot that went down in Dade County, which in turn stopped the recount process so the deadline couldn't be met, is coming home to roost, yes?

Actually, I don't see why so many think she's so hot. She's fairly attractive, but no beauty queen in my opinion. Hmmm maybe it's in comparison to other women in politics like Hillary, Laura Bush, etc. Cuz come on, Sarah Palin sure ain't no Ashley Judd or Gwyneth Paltrow!

foxnews.com is giving live electorial updates. We have not touched on most of the country, so I am not too concerned.
I'm very concerned because yahoo now has Obama with 175 electoral votes to 52 for McCain. And 270 is what wins. It seems to me that it's not only looking like an Obama victory but a landslide.
Edit: Oh, and they declared Pennsylvania won by Obama. And some pundits said that was a battleground state McCain had to win. :(
