Blue Spot

As Hillary gets projected the winner of the NH primary, I thought it was worth looking at her campaign rally the night before. I told a few people that her display of emotion yesterday would only help her. In this rally, you could see that Hillary's support was still strong as of the night before and they never wavered.

Just like I said back in May, last year, when Hillary is attacked, when she looks like the victim, she is much harder to beat. It turns out that the women of NH turned out in big numbers to completely stun the media and pundits who just about wrote Hillary's campaign off. This is a stunning victory. The press already had Obama sweeping away the nomination before tonight. Comparing him to Bobby Kennedy, he should have won this contest by double digits.

This is exactly why I keep saying the pundits and pollsters are sometimes worthless and they need to learn to let the voters decide instead of trying to influence the outcome. Although she's not my pick yet, I salute NH for not caving into the media and delaying the "coronation" of Obama.
