Congratulations to Hillary Clinton. You Go Girl! NBC has called New Hampshire for Hillary. AP News is also calling it for Clinton. Update: It’s official. As a woman, I gotta say, I couldn’t be more thrilled to see Hillary pull this off. This race isn’t over yet. I had tears in my eyes when I heard the results, because as a woman there’s something so inspiring about seeing Hillary turn this around. Barack Obama is giving a great...
It’s still too close to call, but Hillary Clinton is leading with 65% of the precincts in. (Updating as the results change) Per CNN: Clinton has 39% of the vote, Obama 37% and Edwards 17%. With the race as tight as it is between Clinton and Obama, folks claiming Obama was a shoe-in after Iowa might want to re-think that. Even if the outcome shifts for Obama, it’s clear this race in NH is between the two and thoser...
NBC and The NY Times have called it for John McCain: Sen. John McCain won New Hampshire’s Republican primary Tuesday, defeating former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and climbing back into contention for the party’s presidential nomination. “We showed the people of this country what a real comeback looks like,” McCain said as he savored his triumph. “We’re going to move on to Michigan and South Carolina and win the nomination.” Watching MSNBC… Romney is speaking and gave a...
There’s been rumblings all day about a shakeup in the Clinton campaign including false rumors reported by Faux News, that Begala and Carville were jumping in. The Begala – Carville to the rescue story has been debunked and now Chris Cillizza on The Fix reports: Maggie Williams, a longtime Hillary Clinton confidante, is reportedly being brought on to coordinate the campaign’s activities. Insiders have urged campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle to stay on, but no decision have been made, according...
TNR has a piece on Ron Paul today that should be a wake up call on “The bigoted past of Ron Paul.” Here’s a quip: Paul’s alliance with neo-Confederates helps explain the views his newsletters have long espoused on race. Take, for instance, a special issue of the Ron Paul Political Report, published in June 1992, dedicated to explaining the Los Angeles riots of that year. “Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to...
Word is that the turn out in New Hampshire is ‘absolutely huge’ today and there seems to be a run on Democratic ballots:
Building on posts from Pamela (here and here) and others, Gloria Steinem makes a devastating charge in this morning’s NYT, arguing that Women are Never the Front-Runners: “But what worries me is that is seen as unifying by his race while is seen as divisive by her sex.”What worries me is that she is accused of “playing the gender card” when citing the old boys’ club, while he is seen as unifying by citing civil rights confrontations....
Here’s the headline from WaPo today “Even Conservative Media Chorus Sings Obama’s Praises”. We now know the candidate the Republicans want nominated: Senator Barrack Obama. Here’s a simple political reality that has held true for many, many years: If you want to knock down one opponent that you fear, bring in or back a surrogate you feel more certain that you can beat. This has been done time and time again from state to federal races and today we...
