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 hate this thread!!! But so be it. What the hell has Obama done to deserve a Noble Peace Award??????![]()
THAT quarterback is NOT a Pro Bowl quarterback. Never was and never will be.
John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.
He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.
This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.
Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance,
which rooster was performing.
Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report
by just listening to the bells.
John's favorite rooster, Hussein, was a very fine specimen,
but this morning he noticed Hussein's bell hadn't rung at all!
When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover.
To John's amazement, Hussein had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.
He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of Hussein, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.
The result was the judges not only awarded Hussein the No Bell Piece Prize but they also awarded him the Pulletsurprise as well. Clearly Hussein was a politician in the making.
Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the
most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at
sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
Vote carefully, the bells are not always audible.

I declare this my vote for post of the year!!!!!
Obama largely won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for offering the world hope, rather than for practical accomplishments, and as a possibly counterproductive encouragement for what he might accomplish in the future.
for any future accomplishments. make sense???? of course not. the prize is run by far left lug nuts. it was also a slap at Bush.
here's your sign. it was also given to a terrorists named Yasser Arafat many years ago.
"There are no great men, there are only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet."- ADM William F. Halsey
Dosent any of the things he did before he bacame president count? I hear a lot of people complaining that Obama got the prize after such a short time as president, but the Nobel Peace Prize is not reserved for those who are president. Im just askin', not trying to start anything but dosent anyone count what he has done his whole life, not just the last year?
The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
True it's not just for presidents. But in his case there isn't any accomplishments before his presidency either. He is easily the most unqualified and inexperienced person the USA ever elected POTUS.
And to make matters worse, as kcvet mentioned above, the few things Obama is known for prior to the election are corruption like ties to terrorist organizations and associations with corrupt people and people with communist, marxist, and anti-American radical views.
OK, this thread has turned into a regurgitation of Sarah Palin's campaign speeches. Just saying.....
