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 with you, this really is a huge part of what has caused our problems of late with unemployment. We turned our economy into a service industry, then we outsourced all the service jobs.
What is worse, the only real commodities we have been exporting is our money and our knowledge of money. Both of which are now in short supply.
Until we start manufacturing again, OR, we place huge tariffs on those items being shipped into this country to make them compete on par with those made in America, we are going to be in trouble.
By the way, this is not a republican/democrat thing, both parties were responsible for getting us into this mess.
Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!
Though this may be walking me into a battlefield here but here it goes..
In 2008 I worked for the Obama campaign to get him elected, and made phone calls for other democratic candidates to get into the office. I still support my president because he is the leader of my country, but he hasn't done much of what he said he would do while he was running for office. Sure he had a healthcare bill (which our healthcare system needs reform) but it was a rather lame duck bill that will cost us billions, and in the long run will probably keep the healthcare industry just the same as it is today. The only thing I am proud to say that this president has done a good job at is ending the war in Iraq. This year will be my first year to vote in an election that isn't for just local candidates (When Obama won I was only 17) and I am looking forward to voting on who our Governor will be and congressional seat. But come 2012 I can't assure that I would vote for our president, things would have to change a lot. I don't agree with all the calls of "socialism" and "communism" that he gets and will say he has had a difficult presidency due to the economy, wars, BP and other situations. But it's not too late to turn around, or maybe it is?
But back to the topic.. I will say this in the house and senate we need to vote them all out and start over. Too bad the Federal government doesn't have a reset button.![]()

Communist? No. Socialist? Well about as close as you can get without actually using the title. I don't know how we got to this point that the Federal Government should pay for people's healthcare, homeloans, or how we got to this point that we should pay people for 99 weeks of being out of work. It is really sad that we have reached this point.
Obama did not get here alone though, yeah, it was his vision that took us here, but a very liberal, or dare I say, "socialist" congress has pushed us over the edge.
This is why the incumbants must go. And yes, incumbant republicans must go as well, at least many of them. They are the ones that spent like drunken sailors when Bush was in office.
We cannot sustain the spending, we have to pay all of this money back and where is that going to come from?
Bah, I hate politics!
Are you man enough? Eric Berry? Apparently Not!
I support term limits. can't leave em in charge when they're senile. already told Kit Bond im voting his A** out. and all incumbants as well.
looks like the hope and change crowd has just about had it with Obama.
