Its really not even that tight of a race— Clinton at 40%, Obama at 36%. The Obama **s kissing media refuses to call the race. Just admit that Hillary won and lets call it a night.

Go Dems in 2008!!!!

Hillaryin08: I couldn’t agree with you more. I’m so tired of the media glorifying Obama. I’m black and while I think it would finally be nice to have a black president I don’t think this guy has the experience to lead this country. I’m mean the guy is an eloquent speaker, but that’s it. He has no real platform other than the word “change”. I’m not supporting the most charismatic candidate I’m supporting the moset experienced candidate. Also what I find ironic is that the AJC and CNN are projecting winners with only 19% of the precints voting.

I am happy for her lead, however the night is still young. Let’s hold tight to make sure no last minute surprises happen. I have said and will say again I am voting Hillary all the way. For the first election in my life I am considering voting repub if Obama wins the Dem nod. I think he will absolutley be a great leader one day……..not 08. As I posted on cnn.com yesterday. Of course his campaigns can be about change. When you lack experience all you can do is clearly offer change. Change without substance doesn’t matter. If you truly listen to his speeches all of his detail goes into what Hillary hasn’t done, or flip-flopped on.He can spit off details about her better than he can concerning what exactly his “change” is about…..I think he has charisma over Hillary, which is the same quality Bill had. He’s a great people person but will he make the difficult hard nose decisions we must have right now? Bhutto was murdered for being a woman trying to change her country, yet we can’t support the woman in our country standing up against men and our gender biased “rules” and let her speak without being criticized.If she doesn’t show emotion, she’s hard, manish, too calculated. She she shows emotion, she’s weak, can’t handle pressue and still too caculated. Which one is it. I say let her have her fair change at running without the sexism that’s been taking place. And for that alone is just another to my many reasons for wanting her to pull out and win. I am an african-american woman, but I refuse to jump on the Obama bandwagon. Not this year, not this election. I say give him more time then re-evaluate. What I also find interesting is that his “change” speech hasn’t changed since day one….hes never lead the polls.So what has “changed”??? My personal belief and observation is one word….Oprah. She can convince her followers on whaqt book to read, purseto buy, hair cut to get and now apparently who to vote for. Obama didn’t lead ONE poll and if he didn’t it wasn’t a long lasting or significant lead until Oprah went on the road with him. Next set of polls….NOW he has a lead..Gimme a break already. If you all want Oprah telling you who to vote for whether he’s truly qualified or not, then you get what you ask for. Just be careful what you ask for. You may get it in a form you’re not ready to handle. Now, no matter my personal thoughts this will for sure be a great election for several historical reasons!!! Good luck to all!

Hillary 08 or I may vote repub for the first time ever.

It’ still early, This should not be a surprise to Obama camp, The rich and old whites are not going to vote for him, Look at Mccain, Old white man, representing everything what’wrong with this country. Young people are tired of the old guards like Clinton and Mccain.

Thanks, Jennifer, for that novel. I’m sure your opinion will change 20 times before you actually have to make your choice. (Try not to hurt your brain in the process.)

Neither Hillary or Obama has much in the way of experience. Hillary has what five years of experience as an elected official? Obama actually may have a little more elective office experience, but neither has any Executive experience. Heck Hillary certainly couldn’t manage Bill much less the country! As for Obama who knows what he really believes?

Does not matter to meas long as those “thug” loving democraps don’t win. I say we take all of the thugs, illegals, and democraps in this country and ship them to Canada! It sure is nice to be a white, rich, republican!

Look, the Mac is back for the Reds. However it does not take much when you look at the others. Obama can’t keep up his pace forever. It will get bloody with Hil and Bar. Only a matter of time before Mac and Rudi vs Hill and Obama

Let Hillary cry. America cannot be so naive to vote for the Clinton, the ICE QUEEN now. For years, she had nerves of steel and never showed any emotion about anything or anyone except calling attention to herself and yakking non-stop about nothing. Suddenly, she feigns emotion and wants everyone’s sympathy for how hard she’s campaigned…. come on….! Wake up and don’t vote for a fool or we will be fishbait for the terrorists if she gets in office.

I’m not surprised that Hillary will win this one. The cry was a smooth tactic and secured for her the sympathy of the women voters. She is polished and seasoned, don’t count her out.

By enough already

Hi Trish-

Contrary to what you posted, as I stated my opinion has not changed from the begining nor will it.While you were reading my ‘novel’ I’m sure that was an oversight on your part. But that’s ok b/c instead of paying attention to what was said, you’d rather focus on taking jabs. Very adult and mature of you.

However I do assume you’ve hurt your brain after reading my novel b/c you failed to post what you’re point is, was, if you have one.But I truly appreciate your comment. Have a great night!

Obama’s a genuine phenomenom, but Clinton is a perfect fit for the tempermentally conservative - if politically liberal - NH Democrats. But the Media hate the Clintons (especially Hillary) with a white hot passion. They sooooo wanted to bury her after Iowa.

But NH seems to be saying that experience actually DOES matter to them (even if it didn’t to Iowans).

I think N.H. indies are suffering from American Idol Syndrome. That is, they assumed Obama had it under control in the Democratic primary so they voted for McCain in the Republican primary to give him a helping hand (fyi, New Hampshire independents can vote in either primary). If Clinton wins tonight, many of them are going to be cussing themselves later.

She was unable to condense her thoughts on voting into a tiny soundbite like “change good!” for the tiny thinkers out there. Is reading more than one sentence too much to handle? Stay away from the voting booth, you might injure your brain.

I hope she wins the primaries. Obama would be much harder to beat come election day.

Billary, on the other hand, will galvanize the Republican base to landslide proportions.

Remember, Republicans hate Billary even more that you hate Bush

I was a teenager when Hillary became our first lady in 1992. I was awed to see a first lady speak her mind, have ideas, express concern for real issues, and not be afraid to be true self. This year, I could not feel more confidant that she is our next president, and what a message to the world - the most qualified American to lead America back to its glory days and its prosperity is — a woman. And as someone who works with the news media, I must say, once again they screwed up their job - and their oath - and lost objectivity: Obama is a lovely man and has incredible potential, but why don’t they scrutinize his record like they do Hillary? Thankfully Americans like us across the nation are calling our 4th Estate out on this terrible mistake.

Exactly WHAT is his record…does he have one?

Obama is an empty suit.

Boy, this just proves that the media does not have a clue! How many reporters does the AJC have on site in New Hampshire? Please, can we have reliable committed journalism back? All this second-hand guesstimating is truly useless. If we want unreliable baseless info, we can use Google.

No. Do not excuse me at all. I meant what I said. If you can not/do not want to read what I’ve said, simply move on. Do not down play my opinion by taking such steps to say excuse me. I know exactly of what I’ve said and intended to get across. People as yourself should stay away from the polls as you have no true stance or at least aren’t confident enough in it to speak it. Have a great night!

Ok, the only reason a lot of people want to vote for Hilary is so a woman can be the president. Is having a woman president bad? no, of course not. But please don’t let it be Hilary. Vote smart and not because of some novelty. I have yet in my lifetime to here the name of a President that doesn’t have the words Bush or Clinton. Can we please end this era and move on? You think the current President has his own agenda and could care less about what America thinks now? Wait and see what happens if she gets in office.
