She Won! Get on board!

The media is confused over the Dem results as are the campaigns. Is it possible to run a random sample of the voting machines to see if they functioned correctly?

notice how it say Obama 'beat' Clinton, and it lightly mentions Clinton 'bested' Obama…, how is this fair and balanced?? yet another example how CNN is anti-Hillary

Are you kidding me?

Who went straight from Havard to work for the black poor in Chicago.

vs.

Brutally destroys her opponents and cries for votes.

What the heck are people over 50 thinking in this primary?

folks notice when clinton wins its all about her, when obama wins its all about the people! i want a peoples candidate we need obama!

Yes because we all know that Hillary Clinton cares about people more than Obama. This is ridiculous. It shows, quite frankly the ignorance of the American people.

Boo-hoo-hoo, I am behind in the polls.

I have been a yellow dog Democrat for 65 years. If Obama does not win the Democratic nomination, I will vote for whichever Republican is on the ballot. I have had more than enough of Billary.

Haven't people had enough of the Bush-Clinton dynasties running this country? Watching Hillary bask in her victory tonight in New Hampshire actually made me want to throw up all over the carpet. All it would have taken was a glimpse of Romney or Gulianni to finish the deed. Bush, Clinton, Romney, Gulianni… they are all the same breed of a different animal. It is actually scary to think what might lead this country from the pool of contenders, including Huckabee. God help us… we are in a sad state of humanity.

Obama makes "Change" as his call to arms. But what can he show to prove he can do it? He is unproven, he has no record. Anyone can shout for change. But proving your mettle is different. Should we entrust this country to a rookie?

Any one can shout for "change". But proving you've got the beef to do it? This country is too big for a rookie. Proof, proof, proof.

GO HILL GO… DON'T BE AFFRAID TO TELL THE "JUNIOR" SENATOR TO GO POUND SAND. MAYBE MICHELLE CAN WIPE HIS NOSE FOR HIM TONIGHT.

Obama's speech was truly inspirational. Even though he lost, by a narrow margin, I believe we will see a resergence of 'HOPE' amongst the American voter. He hearkened the spirits of JFK and MLK and the energy was magical. He wass down in this contest be we now truly have a contest on our hands. I support Obama because he has a vision and the ability to move people. Clinton has been in office a long time 35 years, and nothing has been outstanding about her record ,but we will see Obama in the White House. The African American vote will be crucial, and it will propel Obama to the top. Her crying on TV helped her campaign but only for the short term. The ability to move the people is a true test of leadership.

Brav o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to discuss the issues instead of swooning over image. Time to research each candidate's verifiable record instead of passively allowing candidates spoon feed empty rhetoric. Time to understand the issues and the impact it may have in voter's life, like the impending recession, jobless rates, tenous geo-political conditions. Rhetoric and fluff will not solve such problems.

Great job, keep working for the people hilary. we need someone like you, someone who has doen something for this country before.

What qualities Oh, you mean lying, faking, and pilfering qualities? Well ,in that case you are right! Go Hillary, you got the in your pocket just like your friend BUSH- You-Go-Girl!

Let's see, voting for someone who has experience and solutions over someone that is all hype and no substance. Hmmm, hard decision. Not!

Nice to know that when you lie, cheat and piferage form the poor that mans you win BIG, Intresting!

GGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yeah!!!!!

Of course Hillary won in the cares about people category. She has spent her whole life working to improve the well-being of our nation. Her tireless efforts in support of women and children, the middle class, and a strong United States show how much we mean to her, and show that she will be a responsive, caring president.

This race was too close for a supposedly "inevitable" Hillary to claim victory over Obama. That is pure spin.

Hillary is probably still crying as they both have the same amount of delegates, Obama and all of his supporters are still the true winners of this one in NH.

The main deviating factor I saw, besides women voters, were there were more Independents voting on the Republican side for McCain. He has a strong standing in NH but I don't think that will be a factor in SC. Again, congrat still to Obama on this one. A 2% difference between him in Clinton in NH and she calls it a comeback. Wow. LOL!!

I was a little girl with big dreams, a daughter of a working mother, a working mother myself and a working wife ….You give us hope…you make us proud!
Thank you Hillary

IT IS NO USE SHYING AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT THE ECONOMY AND HEALTH CARE ARE TWO MAJOR ISSUES THAT WILL DRIVE THE VOTING DECISION OF AMERICANS THIS CRITICAL ELECTION YEAR. SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON IS THE CANDIDATE THAT WILL BEST BRING HER EXPERIENCE TO BEAR IN MAKING DRAMATICALLY POSITIVE AND PHENOMENAL CHANGES IN THESE AREAS IN WASHINGTON IF ELECTED PRESIDENT. DRAMATIC TURN AROUNDS IN THE ECONOMIES OF DEVELOPED SOCIETIES ALWAYS COME ABOUT THROUGH CONCERTED EFFORT OF EXPERTS AND REQUIRE ADEQUATE TESTED EXPERIENCE ON THE PART OF LEADERSHIP. LET US GIVE HILLARY A CHANCE TO HELP BRING ABOUT SYSTEMATIC POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE LIVES OF AMERICANS AND THOSE UNBORN.

Another key factor is CNN's relentless reporting on Hillary everything even after her loss in the Iowan caucus. Nearly one quarter of CNN postings before the NH primary was about Hillary.

This country needs experienced leaders to become stronger. The United States is not United Nations. Speeches, talks, negotiations won't work for real changes. We need actions!

Concerned Citizen

I want to say "experience" is an essential factor for the next President of the United States to boost up the economy, raise the international leader position, and etc. "New" and "Change", lpeople ike Obama, is good. However, he does not have better connections and experiences domestically and internationally than Clinton. Unfortuantely, I am not a U.S. citizen yet; so I can not vote for anyone! But, I wish to share my mother country's experiences with U.S. people.
8 years ago, Taiwaneses people thought they needed to change too! As a result, they elected a president from DPP for two terms. DPP had never governed a country before that! Then, 8 years later today, the economy goes down, the crime goes up, the unemployment rate goes up! Now, people starts to realize the experienced KMP is the one which will be able to bring the economy back.
My opinion is Obama is a good and potential candidate! But, I think it is not the right time for him now. Perhaps, 4 years later, he will be the perfect candidate after gainning more experiences and connection! I do not know if Obama would like to work with Clinton or not! However, I do think the dream team for Democrat to win the election is Clinton as President, and Obama as Vice President nominees.
I heard some young people criticizes Clinton sounds like a Grandmom emphasizing "experiences." I am in my mid 30s, but I totally think "experiences" like a grandmom is the only factor who can make situation reversed in shorted period of time. From all debates I have heard and watched from TV, to be honest, Clinton is the only one who has clear head, and know the steps to fix things in stead of simplying talking about policy. We can see beautiful packages from each candidate because they have experts to help them build wonder image and impression, but what we need to see is what they really have inside!!!

Senator Obama reminds me of ELMER GANTRY. He can give a good talk. He is a good speaker but I am afraid that one year in US senate does not qualify a person to become the leader of the free world. The stakes are too high to go with a rookie. The hype around him in unbeleivable.
But you can't govern by hype. He sounds like a southern baptist preacher. a good orator. But you can't govern by speaches.

EDWARDS IS DOOM TO BE DEFEATED. HE SAID HILLARY WAS FINISH. HE CAME THIRD WITH ONLY 17% HE SHOULG QUIT BUT …..

This country needs a president who can re-establish its relationship with the rest of the world, a president with real substance who can lift the economy. If another inexperienced president is elected to the Oval Office… well, that isn't really "change", is it? We already have somebody like that in the White House, and look where it got us…

Thank God, Hillary Clinton has won in NH. I did worry earlier and I still worry that the country with the most powerful influence would be run by inexperienced leader.

European watch dog

I am amazed at what had been achieved by the Obama team in this New England state, a traditionally Clintonian territory! 37% voted for Obama, while Clinton herself only got 39%!

Instead of considering this as a loss, I think this results actually showed A HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT, which would be unthinkable just some time ago! Bravo, Obama!

That you're capable of getting this result showed that you're truly a real DOER!

Please continue reaching across the aisle! YES, talks, negotiations DO work because they result in mutual understanding! Our country needs your unifying movement!

A California dem.

I have two problems. First, people talk about experience as being vital to a Presidency, but experience in what getting lobbyists to give you money, learning how to lie, or becomming apathetic to the needs of people? I once heard a great quote, "A thousand more votes in Congress won't make you a better President anymore than it will make you a better man." If the voters really wanted experience they would have voted Romney tonight or they would have voted Biden in Iowa. Why? Because those two men have the most experience when it comes to managment and foreign policy. Of course, Bush ALSO had a lot of experience in those fields.

Finally, the 'cares about people' category. I'm completely shocked, I saw Hilary break down yesterday and try to sway voters by saying that, "she cares." I thought it was ridiculous, but now I realize it was a brilliant political strategy because IT WORKED. She won the sympathy vote from woman, but don't forget that Obama devoted his life to helping the less fortunate in Chicago and TURNED DOWN a successful career in law and politics to HELP REAL PEOPLE. So, even though a few tears in the last minute might win over a few voters. Hilary cannot challenge Obama on his 'caring' ability because he is WAYYYY out of her league.

Experience + Change = Successful Outcome
Whether it's tweaking the bottom line in a new corporate venture, nursing care plans in treating a cancer patient with a new technique, or a teachers's lesson plans in creating innovative science classes, the formula is the same:
Experience + Change - Successful Outcome

Without experience, mediocrity exists. We do not have time for so-so.These times call for excellence, and the American people willl settle for no less. Hillary Clinton.

Go Clinton!
She has the tools to fix the problems of United States! We are chosing President, not movie star! We just can not chose someone who looks cool.

Hmm, i found it amazing the tears in the eye trick still works for people, particularly for woman, sure beats the fingerpointing her husband did, way back than.

yes, i am for democrats, but one Clinton was enough.

Real or not, Senator Obama seems to have evolved from dynamic young speaker to arrogant, dynamic young speaker. And his message of a new way and his promise to reach out to everyone is undermined by the way he talks to and about Senator Clinton. And so I am not surprised that Clinton polled 21 points higher on a question "cares about people". So now maybe New Hampshire helps knock some of the arrogance out of Obama and the Senators from both Illinois and New York can spend the rest of the primary season not only telling us why they are best suited to become President but do so in a way that acknowledges that we will need both Clinton and Obama working together after the election if the United States is going to make significant progress on the problems that we all face.

"Cares about people" Clinton? That's laughable!!! Wake-up America!!!

ANNOYING. that's what this win is. Man is'nt this country ready to move on yet.
Are we really going to do this again and again and again.

……but then do you want the United States to become a Kingdom, where it is the same families that rule for 24 years, and perhaps even for 28??? That is the worst thing that can happen in a democracy, and is a demonstration that one needs to be politcally connected, full of cash, and supported by the establishment to win an election.

If you don't complement speech, talks and negotations to action in a multi-polar world, you will be going where Bush went: nowhere!

Last but not least, what is this superior experience Mrs Clinton might have gained as First Lady (not president!)? Is it experience in deceit and lying: "I did not inhale", "I did not sleep with that woman", "I still love him", and countless other lies…..please, give me a break!
And what about the life experiences that makes us who we are? Growing up as an African American kid with no father and ending up this far, shows far more strength of character than getting married to a playboy, and remaning with him for political gain.

A equally concerned young citizen who believes their older counterparts have traded their ideals and dreams, for fear of not being able to pay for their mortgage!

Since when does Clinton care about people? Since she started to cry?

If a male candidate burst into tears during campaign, he would be torn apart.

Anyway, now all of a sudden, people want change with experience. Hillary, despite being a smart, strong woman, does not represent change. Change only became a buzzword after Obama. Sometimes, you need change from something or someone new.

Read his positions, where he stands and you may actually learn something

Yes agree,this country needs experience leaders in selling us to Chinese, smoking weed but not inhaling,scandal after scandal.We need a clean break from the past.America should not kill their past and be busy with burrying their future.Vote either Kucinnich,Edwards or Obama.

watching the campaigns on British TV I was struck by all the young men shouting for Obama in New Hampshire. Is this really all about gender? If it is then let us elect the most qualified person in the race: Hillary Clinton

She won on that quality because she resorted to crying on the eve of the election - it was sympathy vote. This country needs to move forward in a fundamentally new direction. The old conventional wisdom would only lead us to the brink of endless wars. Hillary has no fresh ideas.

She's NOT winning the Independents vote, which is key to winning a general election. She's unelectable. McCain has CONSISTENTLY beaten her in EVERY head to head matchup.

If I want tears, I can get a Barbie doll. It would be more authentic.

And it wouldn't be "psychobarbie" or the matching "no pants" Ken either!

Clinton does to have change we can believe in. I watched her change from witchy to humble, to pouty, to shouty, to whiny, finally to crybaby. One more change and she will have "seven dwarfs of metamorphic change".

Cinton is self-serving - they just want to continue to rob the American people (clean out the White House, etc) Hopefully people will see thru the facade. I'm afraid she will get support only because she is a woman. She keeps talking about her experience yet when she was tasked with the health care issue during Bill's time in office she failed miserably. And let's not forget all the scandals. I believe they were the beginning of America's loss of respect in the world. Wake up America. ABH - Anybody But Hiliary

Why is it when a man chokes up or sheds a tear "he is caring and compassionate" but let a woman do it and she is weak and can't be trusted
Again the same old standards! Women of these United States you should be
ashamed of yourselves! History is in the making with a chance of finally a strong enough woman to run this country and instead of standing proud beside her you
listen to "the men" and tear her down! Go HILLARY!!

Finally a vote that makes sense. Whether you like her or not she is the best qualified democratic candidate to move this country forward, NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT!

Who in their right mind would help to elect a president of the United States that was half Muslim when we are fighting a war right now against terrorists that are 99% Muslim. DUH!

It is not a racial issue. I would back and african american democratic candidate in a heartbeat…if I knew where their true loyalty and heart was. Hillary and Bills faults aside, they are for the best for this country and ALL the people.

Don't get me wrong I like Obama, but he is a rookie. Bash Clinton all you like, she sticks by her war votes, unlike all the other candidates that now say they woudl vote different. Hell we ALL supported going to war back then, we didn't know what it woudl turn out to be, now everyone is running scared to say they backed the war. Like it or not the Cintons are a power machine, they have power and connections they will make things happen. Obama has none of that and will waste the first year navigating the shark infested waters figuring out what to do. Both parties in both houses will eat him alive! We need expierience even if Obama may have better ideas.

Hillary won because women want a woman president, now more than ever we need to be a nation of compassion, intellect. Strength, combined with understanding and the ability to take care of this country first and foremost. If Hillary continues to speak with her own voice and heart she will win. She has to be fearless in using the mere fact that she is a woman to her greatest advantage.

Sen. Obama is a force to be reckoned with, but he appears like a preacher to me, a t v star, I see him as Vice President now and president in 8 years,

We do need change, no doubt, but first we need to get back on our feet and find stability again.

Hillary will be the strength and inspiration we need, right now.

She won in a liberal rat nest know as New England. Heartland will not vote for her or Bill Clinton who really running again.

Hillary does not have "experience" unless you want to call being a first lady experience.

Other than that she is a one-term senator.

Come on people. You mean to tell the world that after all of George W. Bush's "bs" you still fall for these kinds of self-aggrandizing statements that claim more "evidence" than there really is? (Well, that or her crying for the sympathy vote)

What happens when she starts pretending to cry in some negotiations with Vladimir Putin? Think it will sway him? Or do you think it will just prove to him that he has another "presidenter" he can walk all over?

There is absolutely no question that Obama is a wonderrful orator. However, his speaches are all generalities, platitudes and slogans with no specifics whatsoever, and no records of accomplishment. At this time, in the worlds crisis, speaches do not substitute for action.

I'm still trying to figure out what all this "experience" she claims to have is. 35 years of what? Being married to a president? Getting elected as a do nothing senator on his name? Making land and cattle deals on insider trading? Taking money from China? Ripping off a comic book company to the tune of $1.8 million?

If Hillary cares about anything more than being famous then I'm a dog.

Bill, the pollsters excuse their misrepresentation citing "margin of error." What they must fear and what I strongly believe is that it is "sampling bias". My phone rang dozens of times over the past several days due to both campaign calls and polling. I have CallerID and simply stopped picking up the phone for all political and unrecognized calls. My explanation? Young Obama supporters are less likely to have CallerID than Clinton supporters and more likely to be willing to talk with politicos and pollsters. Clinton was never trailing Obama in New Hampshire. This could signal the end of reliance on polling.

I am amazed that gender comes into this. Clinton is a hard core politician, which means gender is irrelevant. No words come out of her mouth that has not been discussed in great detail by a huge team of people.

If people truly believe that Clinton being a woman means something, then you know very little about politics.

Has it occurred to anyone that maybe Hillary cried or appeared to cry because she was tired? Why are we always trying to put the worst possible interpretation on everything she says and does. It says more us than it does about her.

Go Hillary Go! She has the most experience and truly cares about the direction of this country . The white male republician has done enough damage. Time for change is right! Right by starting with a very intelligent, experienced, and powerful woman by making things happen for Americans, and she will win back the respect from the World and bring our economy back in shape, and end the senseless war in Iraq the right way.

As for the experience and connections that senator Clinton brings to the table, what are they besides her connection to Former President Clinton and living through the expansion of the internet, rise in terrorism and diplomatic relations with N. Korea. with respect to Former President Clinton, I would like to know where the $8B of contributions have come from for his One World Campaign. Please tell me that this amount of money will have no influence over the Senator Clinton. If she is elected, I would suggest New Pres. Clinton demand her husband give teh money back to his global influence pedalling donors.

Aren't experience and connections great!!!

If all of these nay sayers don"t believe in the actual deep feelings of Hillary Clinton while undergoing that talked about incident of awoman fighter; then they need a retread on emotion..This is a woman who actually beleieves in her country; and is able to work and fight for her beliefs..Barrack or Barry Abama is a great orator with no substance behind his beliefs..Talking about change means WHAT?
This past few years both sides of congress has been advocating change.I've
heard responses about Obamas big beautiful mesmerizing brown eyes by the young; and the beautiful friendly smile by elderly women..How far will that get anyone while the Crisis we are facing throughout the world is coming to a head; the Economy is in trouble; and we just can't go on borrowing money; plus a President who Veo's every bill before him..WAke up America!! This country is in dire trouble; put your Vote where it will count..Being referred to as a Rock Star is just what Oprah and Obama believe will get the young vote..

SEE ABOVE COMMENT

This country needs a leader who can reach across party lines to bring about change. That's not Hillary Clinton. I don't think there is a more polarizing figure than Hillary. Yes, Obama is "young", and yes, he is a 'junior" senator, but he is the only candidate that has the ability to get Congress to work together, which is the change that this country truly needs. He, by himself, will not bring about the change that everyone in the country longs for, but he, as president, will be the catalyst and the glue that will bring about change. We have had the Bush/Clinton dynasty long enough.

The number one quality is that she is not going to hose the middle class and America's teachers the way those Socialists Obama and Edwards would. I'm sorry, but to the dishwasher in Las Vegas that Obama spoke of in his defeat speech (which is exactly like his victory speech) If you're an adult and earning minimum wage its your own fault for not taking advantage of the educational opportunities that America gives to everyone. I guess trying to be cool and getting lucky with the ladies instead of doing homework didn't work out for you.

I think Margarita forgot that Hillary too is the junior senator from her state–Chuck Schumer is the senior senator.

Just because this woman sheds a tear the women crumbled–give me a break. It now makes sense why things in this country are not better–we vote on emotion, gender, and religion not on what is best or right.

Hillary cares about 1 thing–HILLARY. She is power hungry and lusts and craves it. Anyone who stands in her way–look out she will do what it takes to destroy you.

The beauty of it all is that the rest of the country has yet to vote–so soon enough the intelligent states of the union will vote and overshadow the folks in NH who feel they have to make a statement.

If Hillary is elected–which I HIGHLY doubt will happen whether she is nominee or not–just remember when the poop starts with scandals and her husband starts frolicking around the White House like a brothel in Vegas then those of us who are smart can put bumper stickers on our vehicles that say–We were the Smart Americans–We didn't Vote for her.

As for the stand by your man country singer routine with Hillary it is all out of lust for power. I could hear her conversations now "Bill I am only standing by you because I need you and then you will deliver when it is my turn". She has a sense of it is her turn–a sense of entitlement to the presidency.

I have been voting for 24 years and let me tell you I have never been more disgusted with a candidate like her in my voting lifetime. I would vote for Bill before her.

But that is ok–because if she is the nominee then I can see no one who will mobilize the Republicans more than Hillary–not to mention get Democrats to crossover. Hillary=another Republican president.

Hillary Clinton is a force to deal with and she is committed to the people. This has been exhibited time and time again througout her career. When she was first lady in Arkansas she spearheaded children's programs to expand health care and education. She is the brains in that family and the nation will do well to chose her as their next President!

Hold on there a sec, A R from Cedar Rapids: Obama and Clinton are NOT tied for delegate votes. Clinton has a TOTAL of 180 to Obama's 78. So, as you can see, your crowing is a bit premature. Just hang on though, as soon as Obama picks up 102 more delegates, and Hillary picks up NO more delegates, they'll be even.

Hey, all you sore-losers! Get over it, Hillary who was supposed to have been down by 10 points in the polls on election day, won by 2 points. The people of New Hampshire knocked off those 10 points and gave her 2 more for good luck. Way to go New Hampshire voters! You went for substance over fluff and have restored my faith in American voters.

Barack Obama should just give way to Hillary for the love of our country. He knows that he dont have the guts and experience to fix the ill economy and other problem our country are in now. What he have is a rhetoric and that means nothing, hes a good preacher and he will say anything just to win votes for the hopeless people. If we will take a look on George Bush record as aGovernor in Texas, hes done a magnificent job as Governor but what happen when he became the president we messed up our country. We need a president with experienced and Hillary is the most qualified to run our country.

I don't even care anymore. After all the racist and xenophobic attacks against Barack Obama by rival "DEMOCRATS" or shall I say "Dixiecrats", if Hillary is the nominee, I'm voting for Huckabee or anyone on the Republican ticket. The Democratic party will be a party no more. This would be their third Presidential election loss.Sen Obama has made a name for himself, he has nothing to lose-
No one should be gloating at this point. A candidate needs to earn the party's nomination-
What Sen Clinton and her supporters don't understand is, if she wins the nomination ,WE, the rest of the Democratic Party are going to vote Republican, we hate her that much. What Sen Clinton easily forgets is this is the Primary Election, not the General Election.
Though I support Obama through the primaries, if Sen Clinton wins the primary, my vote and support will be needed by her. The same goes for all other supporters.
Remember Hillary supporters, you might need us, if Hillary wins. Also, Obama attracts a lot of independent voters to vote democrat, so if you treat us like dirt, those independent voters might stay home or Vote Republican on election day

save for jeff toobin and bill schneider, who, as always, provide the most keen, sensible and objective analyses, the rest of the cnn roster of anchors and commentators were all stunned at, and were obviously in denial of, Hillary's remarkable upset of Oprah, er, Obama. The US media seem to be in a conspiracy to pounce on Hillary, play up character assassination and negative, desperate attacks started by both Obama and Edwards, and play down her accomplishments and issues-centered campaign.

As the NH voters proved, Americans need to take a second look at Obama and his purported (absence?) of record. who is he, really? what record can he really speak of? does Obama think he could take a short-cut to the US Presidency? does he not have courtesy/respect for his partymates who have been governors, congressmen, senators– serving the American people for years? Obama seems to be good at masking hubris with rhetorics. Issue for issue, the Americans will see the grain from the chaff. Especially now that the most important issue, again, is the ECONOMY, stup_ _!

Americans, especially women, the old and the young, should feel honored to have a leader like Hillary who is popular all over the world and admired by both old and young, both men and women, for her intelligence, grace and indomitable grit.

I am no American but hoooray for Hillary!

Hilary simply won New Hamshire because she cried and that was an act, it is clear.

Obama won 13 delegates and Hillary won 12. Exactly who won in NH? Popular votes DO NOT elect presidents, so I ask again who REALLY won last night? The election system is crazy!

I have to say that it was good for Clinton to win in New Hampshire so that her campaign could continue. Without it, it most likely would have started to flounder. I have to really wonder why Mike Gravel and Dennis Kuncinch are still in the race. I think between the two of them that they received maybe two percent between Iowa AND New Hampshire.

They both have some points to make. It would be nice if they knew that it was really time to go home since no one is really listening really well. Although, I would love to see a debate between Dennis Kuncinch and Ron Paul. That would be good for laughs I think.

i really question the idea that hilary has more experience,
as an elected official obama has more experience,
he has been elected to the state senate and serve 7 years and 3 years in the us senate which would account for 11 years of public office
hilary has serve only 7 years in the us senate
so obama has more expericence
for most of her public career she was the first lady to bill clinton in the white house and governer of arkansas
and besides when she was first lady she failed to push past universal health care against a democratic congress
obama was the first African American to be president of the Harvard Law Review
and also taught law at university of chicago
it is all there look it up in wikipedia and on biography of the candidate on cnn website
don't get fooled by cnn pundits saying there is no experience or substance on obama

Baffling Democrats…."experience" - save some money and hire the surgeons wife to do your next operation….no you would never do that…and no - the country will not elect the most polarizing figure

First she's a strong woman….then she "weeps" over a question on her haircut?

Why does she need strategy meetings to "soften" her for the cameras??

Everything this woman does is scripted….we all want change….not this change….never this change

Hillary only won after adapting Obama's message that took him to the top in Iowa. Obama came in with a message that resonated with the American people from the beginning. He was right about standing against the Iraq war too. Hillary had to retool after Iowa. All the candiadates retooled after Obama's message. This alone says alot about who is best to lead our country. Do we want a president who had the judgement to get it right the first time or some one who has to retools because they didn't get it right. Obama is the real thing and the original. All the other candidates have made a different statement about "change" that is very different from what Obama offers. They modified their campaigns to get the vote.

I'm hoping Edwards will come roaring back with a victory in South Carolina. I'd love to see an open convention.

Ill giver her experience, she is older and has more years in the Senate. Her "experience" in the white house or with her husband is BS however.

But cares about people???? WHAT???

Is this becuase she almost cried over her love of people (or perhaps it was her dropping poll numbers) and then gave a speech lifted from Obama?

I mean, everyone knows and says it was a performance…. America really buys this?

Can We Acheive Change in a Two-Party System?

Change has become a major factor in this season's political campaign. Polls indicate that Americans are ready for change. However, a question that deserves attention is to what extent will change be limited by our existing two-party system? Change, of the innovative type, often requires decentralized, flexible structures with fluid boundaries. Political parties are more than an "affiliation" or an attribute of a political actor, they are actual organizations, with bureaucratic structures, goals, and boundaries that shape what happens in Congress. While many presidential candidates are pushing for change, we must think about the limiting effects of the two-party system. I would agree, change is needed, but I think we need to hear more about how our top candidates might actually acheive change within in a two-party system.

I am very interested in the "Native American" voters and I for one don't plan on voting for Clinton. I know alot of Native American voters who aren't voting for her either. I understand she didn't fair well with alot of Tribes through out the U.S.

Hillary is a complete fraud and a nasty piece of work. Ever wonder why the secret service guys get paid double to do Hillary-duty? If Obama or Edwards doesn't get the nomination, my vote is going with Mcain

Yes, Hillary leads in the following two catagories:

1. Experience (in lying, obstruction, obfuscation and general all-around slick-ness)

2. Cares about People (with "people" meaning "herself")

Do you think that Clinton, Obama or any of the Democrats will help the illegal immigrant situation or strengthen our Nation? The following Senators voted against making English the official language of America:

morale, and undermine the military are saboteurs and should be arrested,
exiled or hanged!!!"

I believe the media handed Hillary NH. She couldn't have possibly paid for the enormous amount of coverage she got from CNN, FOX and MSNBC. And the "teary moment" was shown over and over and over all day long on Saturday. Ridiculous! News commentators should keep their opinions to themselves and just REPORT THE NEWS, not make it. They tipped the election in her favor.

Lets have an election decided by the people, not the media.

All Obama does is preach, how are we supossed to believe that he can deliever change on a national level
Hillary on the other hand has spent the last 35 years of her like CHANGING the lives of American people, thats a candidate we can count on.
and i dont mind bill being there for hillary
i think billary in office would be a dream team. they've both done amazing things for this country and where we are, we need someone who we can count on to fix our current state someone with expirence
