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.

Yes, let's be sure to jump right in call and Obama's Term a bust before he even takes Office; your Nostradomic powers are just mind-boggling.
And lets see...
1) High Gas Prices
2) Jihad in the Mid-East directed right at America and it's allies,
and
3) The economy squarely in the sh*tter.
Sounds to me like Jimmy Carter is ALREADY in the White House!
Good thing he's cleaning his desk out as we speak, yes?

That was my point. You could also consider the fact that they are not as ethnically diverse as we are, they clearly do not have the land mass that we do. Their problems are unique to their size, where America's problems are unique to our size. It would be a better, more direct comparison to compare us with China or Russia in sheer size and population.
When you do that... we don't look so bad now do we?
