This is getting ridiculous, the idea that voters told pollsters (anonymously) they would vote for Barack Obama, an African-American, for president, only to turn racist once they went into the voting booth (anonymously) and pulled the lever for a white woman instead.
Also known as the “Bradley Effect”, this phenomenon says that white voters will lie [...]

Add pundits, pollsters, and the press to the list of losers in the New Hampshire primary.

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%.
