    A small number of people voting, and the media being dumb enough to think it mattered.

    No shit. Obama won Iowa easily and lost New Hampshire, a state in which HRC was favored by double digits a month ago, by two points. Maybe I just have a little more faith in people than others.

    Ok, I'll go back to sleep until Super Tuesday then. Give me a nudge if I don't wake up in time.

    This isn't hard to figure out, people.

    Obama wins Iowa. He polls huge in NH. If he wins tonight, the media is ready to declare him the nominee. And voters run to Clinton. If this doesn't tell you something, you're not paying attention.

    Maybe I've missed it, but it seems to me the bottom line tonight for the Blue Crew is that you've had a couple of scrimmages and everybody has gotten the butterflies out and now it's time to focus on ...

    Issues.

    Remember them?

    Poor Mr. Bill, he was trying in his way to get the focus there yesterday, but then he got to wagging that damned finger. They've got to break him of that.

    "Voters run to Clinton?"

    She won by two points. Jeebus.

    Or Mr. 27 has less faith in people than others.

    Perhaps HRC won tonight because women flocked to vote for her. Or maybe there are more Baby Boomers in NH who don't want some young whippersnapper for president.

    It's not just Obama who has redefined the race. It's the American sentiment regarding the status quo - and not being satisfied with it and wanting to change it.

    What really impressed me tonight was the number of Dem votes that came in New Hampshire. Hell, the number of votes, period. People want to do something about the state of America and will create change through their freedom to vote.

    The biggest loser tonight? Lou Dobbs. And I couldn't be happier about that.

    Yes, and that's why HRC can win a general election and Obama can't. Women vote.

    Obama won the female vote in Iowa. Anything else?

    If you're trying to argue that Obama will do better with females than HRC in a general election, just stop.
