New Hampshire Primary Running Thread

Got it. If that's what Ben had in mind, 13% is no "epic slaughter"; 20%, hmmm. If Hillary demonstrably gets little or none of the AA vote, hmmm again.

And by the way, if what Drudge has up is true, Ron Paul won't be enjoying a large percentage of African American voters, not in SC or anywhere else. In fact, he's toast. Not even the most diehard of Libertarians would go for that racist crap, would they? (None of my best friends are Libertarians, although one leans that way.)

 

Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle

 

First one was good. Second was better.

 

I suddenly have a strong feeling that tonight's story is a Romney comeback. Everything would be changed again.

 

First exit polls are coming at 5, right?

 

I fucking hope so. This is torture.

 

Romney will certainly try to spin it that way no matter the outcome. It worked for Bill in 1992.

 

At 5% reporting, Obama had a 38-33 lead. Now at 6%, Clinton has pulled ahead. WTF? Where did she get this surge?

 

Per MSNBC: 6 percent of precincts reporting:

D — Obama 36%, Clinton 36%, Edwards 17%
R — McCain 37%, Romney 36%, Huckabee 11%

 

Hillary now up 38-36 on Obama with 10% in.

McCain up 37-28 on Romney with Huckabee up a tick to 12.

Will check again when we hit the quarter-pole, but so far it looks like new life for Hillary and a big blow against Mitt.

 

MSNBC has less than 700 votes separating Obama and HRC, although she's up by 2 percentage points.
