Joe – are you talking about George W? You mentioned the admitted former cocaine user... I believe that would describe our current president.

Joe   January 8th, 2008 10:43 pm ET

Gee, Mike. I'll bite on that lead . . . maybe they are a bit concerned that a former cocaine user (admittedly) won't fare so well when the tide sweeps away and he actually has to face the republicans?

Ya think? Perhaps you should pull your head out of the sand and face that reality.

If we allow Hillary to become president on her experience platform (35 years) in which we know is not true then every spouse regardless of their sex in America should adjust their resume to reflect their spouse's experience to get a better job. This approach will not work in corporate America why would we allow it to work for the job of president of the United States. If Hillary wins the democratic nomination for president, will she say she has more experience then John McCain who only has 18 years of experience.

I wish I could vote but I am a citizen of a Scandinavian country. I would definitely vote for Hillary if I could. She is "change" and I can't think of another woman who would be able to win in the near future other than Hillary. Europe loves the Clinton's and many of us hope to see her in the White House in 2008.

Go Hillary.

AP is projecting Hillary... I'm glad CNN understands the dynamic better and won't call it until they're sure. Obama appeals to different groups than the ordinary candidate.

Gregg T. Wall   January 8th, 2008 10:37 pm ET

Hillary / Bill.......Bill / Hillary......Clinton / Clinton...........Impeached / Impeached spouse.....I did not have relations with that women.......now they are thicker than thieves?..........do you really want them back in the White House again?.........public servants..yes...powerful public servants with an army and billions of tax dollars..NO!

Mike   January 8th, 2008 10:33 pm ET

America is dumb. Why on earth would democrats vote for the republican's dream candidate, Hillary. They have sooo much ammo on her, so many people who will vote for a trained monkey over her, I can't possibly fathom what everyone in NH is thinking. And I live in NH. This is a disgrace...

Peggy   January 8th, 2008 10:33 pm ET

Phil – I had exactly the same thought... an Obama/Edwards combo would definitely beat out Hillary

Faisal   January 8th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

Nobody could believe that Obama, who was trailing in NH by as much as 15 points just 3 weeks ago could be doing so well tonight. The college towns are yet to be counted. Even if he is not the clear victor tonight, he will still have an incredible chance to win the Presidency and bring back Hope and Change to America.

Peggy   January 8th, 2008 10:30 pm ET

Where do we see the map with counties that they're showing on the air?

Denise   January 8th, 2008 10:25 pm ET

I am closely watching the returns as they are updated. I was shocked and am still shocked at the current results. Where is this "movement" the media has played up so much over the last couple of days??

Where is the 10 point margin that Obama was supposed to have over the rest of the democratic hopefuls??

I was expecting to see Obama run away with the nomination just based upon the media blitz!

I am an Obama supporter, but I do want to see more in the way of strategies for the future and a way to overcome our almost insurmountable issues that will be waiting for him when he reaches the White House.

We all know that Bush is just riding out this year and will spend half of it at his ranch waiting for someone else to clean up his messes!

Amy "Thrawn"   January 8th, 2008 10:23 pm ET

Unfortunately New Hampshire seems to be picking "Republican Lite", meaning Hillary Clinton. I would vote for anyone but her. She is untrustworthy and hates America. She has more corporations and big company support in her favor. THat means that is the people on top love her I DON'T!!!! How can you support a candicate that has more corporate donors (look at the math and be informed) than even George H.W. Bush or Nixon? God rest your souls. You are killing America. I am ashamed voters will not inform and educate themselves. A vote for Hillary is a vote for ignorance and corporations.

Henry   January 8th, 2008 10:17 pm ET

Hillary’s teary response reminds me of the woman who always sprains her ankle in the chase scene in the movies (oh please save me) That’s the person I want for President.

Phil   January 8th, 2008 10:15 pm ET

Given the similarities between Obama's and Edwards "Change" message, it seems that they are splitting one voting block. If this race continues to be dominated by Obama vs Clinton with Edwards a somewhat distant third, I wonder if Edwards would consider a making a deal with Obama and drop out of the race prior to the Feb 3rd primaries. Just a thought.

Tom Davie   January 8th, 2008 10:15 pm ET

To Bruce.

CHANGE to what? Does that even matter? All presidents are the same? Stick any forrest gump in the whitehouse just cause he is different?

To think you are just going to stick some guy in office and america is going to be great again you are WRONG.

America is going to get WORSE before it gets better, and we need someone who can do DAMAGE CONTROL more than another forrest gump with good intentions.

monalisa   January 8th, 2008 10:12 pm ET

Listen up women !! it's the same old story, if Hillary shows emotion then she is just too unstable to lead, if she doesnt' show emotion – then she is just a cold xitch! double standard for women – let's prove them wrong and elect a woman – Hillary shouldn't be running a popularity contest – she is running to lead the US back to it's best days (it's the economy stupid) she was the only one who brought up the economy in the last debate. She can restore the US to a better standing in the world – she is equipped to do it on day one – we haven't got any time to waste -

Ryan Scott   January 8th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

I cannot believe Hillary Clinton's cold, calculating, fradulant of showing emotion swayed women voters tonight. As if crying and showing weakness was a plus to be Commander in Chief.

Bad form women. Bad form.

Djackson   January 8th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

A black man and a woman the top stories of the night in the debate for president. No matter how it shakes out it's a great step forward for America.

Obama wins Iowa – proclaimed the next nominee.
Clinton doesn't get blown away in NH – proclaimed the comeback kid.

Talk about flipfloppers. Can the media just report and stop trying to pick the winner before the people have spoken?

Bruce McCartney   January 8th, 2008 10:11 pm ET

We need OBAMA for President!!! This country needs a change. The Clintons and Bushs' have had 8 years each to solve our problems with nothing to show for it.!!!
Let's wake up the world with a new President!!!

sejfudin   January 8th, 2008 10:08 pm ET

Get back Clinton times

julliet   January 8th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

It's great to see an experienced, smart ,capable and ready female president candidate overcome the barrier of being the 1st female president. During the Clinton's presidency, people lived well and promising. We need her to lead the American turning around the corner, fast and effectively. She also got experience when she as 1st lady. In additinoal to her strengths, her husband is also a great advisior too...
Go for Clinton!

Sue   January 8th, 2008 10:05 pm ET

Thank you New Hampshire women for paying attention. I appreciate the historic significance of the first black president but as a woman I appreciate more the significance of this country electing our first female president. I am tired of hearing people say she should step out of Obama's way. Women are fed up with being told to step back so that a man can take the job.

Go Hillary!

Earl Cook   January 8th, 2008 9:59 pm ET

Allof the candidates are talking of all of the change that they will implement if they are elected. The one thing I feel that needs changed as badly as anything is the electoral college system we have in place to elect our president.
If the air-traffic control system were as antiquated, and outdated as the system we use for the presidential elections, I would never go near an airport. I'm sure this comment will never make it to the air, because some truths aren't what makes "good" news. But the fact is that my vote or any other individuals vote does
NOT count for much of anything. The election 8 years ago prooved that. I'm tired of listening to a president that doesn't care at all about the hard working taxpayers
that support his opulent lifestyle, and I'm sad that there is nothing I can do about it
because my vote doesn't count for any more than a lottery ticket counts toward increasing my annual income. I know many people, much more intelligent and "in the know" than I am that believe just the same. We have sophisticated computer technology we didn't have 250 years ago when the current system was
put into place. And until each individul vote is counted, and the electoral college is scrapped, I won't waste my valuable time voting. Let the senate or congress pick our president. Because the current system does about the same thing!!!!!!!

James Luallen   January 8th, 2008 9:54 pm ET

Did Wolf Blitzer refer to McCain's victory speech in NH as 'passionate?' If such a soporific job of reading a script can qualify as passionate, then how to describe the inspirational speeches of Barak Obama?

Lizzy   January 8th, 2008 9:52 pm ET

I like that he is going with the angle of Honesty and repairing trust.
That is something that America needs.
However, as mush as we need that (and believe me, we do) I think that he needs to work on problems that are defined and have definite solution plans.

Elishua Reed   January 8th, 2008 9:50 pm ET

Dear Sen:Barack Obama i wish you all the best & may God bless America.
one thing i would like you to add to your Change America Slogon and that is, .they have FOLD US ONCE THEY HAVE FOOLED US Twice but we Dont GET FOOLED AGAIN.
and may GOD BLESS CNN.

does no one ever consider the fact that someone might tell a white lie or fib in a exit poll. you act like the exit polls are law...well one man does...... LET THE VOTERS TELL THE STORY...with their votes..not your polls...

Mike in Concord   January 8th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

How about hearing from someone on the fact that UNH students ARE ON BREAK! Campus is empty because many students when home for the winter break! Classes don't begin until January 22!

So if there is a big student turnout then they had to vote via absentee ballots. That's a big question mark for the Democrats!

dan mccoy   January 8th, 2008 9:45 pm ET

thank you and all of the cnn team for uo to the minute news and a job well done

judy   January 8th, 2008 9:43 pm ET

HILLARY!!! She's THE ONE who'd be a great President. Period.

paul   January 8th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

Froude in NH.......my friends called me ......there is huge fraud favoring Hillary

Heidi Ann Berg   January 8th, 2008 9:41 pm ET

McCain had a good speach....but I still a Hillary fan

Dave Clay Milwaukee WI   January 8th, 2008 9:39 pm ET

Wolf's got Obama with 5 delegates and Clinton with 4 on the Television: are they including the pledged superdelegates located in NH?

joan edman   January 8th, 2008 9:38 pm ET

Is the New Hampshire primary winner take all or are the delegates split according to a share of the total votes. What about Iowa.

If split what happens to delegats for canditates who drop ot?

Paul C, Palmetto Bay, FL   January 8th, 2008 9:37 pm ET

I pray that we will forgo another Republican President.

It's kind of telling that Bush has not put his 2 cents in so far.
He seems to be keeping a low profile which I regret. He lends a very negative
atmosphere to any situation and I have gotten use to bashing him.

I'll miss him.....

Stuart   January 8th, 2008 9:35 pm ET

How about the number of independents that are voting Democratic. It is obvious by the numbers that the Dems are getting many more of that 44% of the state's voters.

G   January 8th, 2008 9:34 pm ET

WITH WHAT % OF THE VOTE IN????
IS IT WRITTEN IN THE STARS OR WHAT?
