“Obama appears to be on the wrong side of just about every important issue going; indeed, were he to be elected president he would be a danger to the free world. But hey – the guy makes people feel good about themselves; he stands for hope, love, reconciliation, youthfulness and fairies at the bottom of the garden.”

Voting began last night in New Hampshire.
Senators McCain and Obama took the early lead.
It’s likely to be another day of more tears for Hillary.
Maybe not… Hillary is ahead?
Maybe those tears helped?
UPDATE: (7:15 PM CST) McCain Wins!
Fred Thompson took in 1% of the vote. Giuliani is at 9%. It looks like the final tally ends at McCain 39% and Mitt 32%.
UPDATE 2: (8:30 PM CST) Hillary is ahead 39 to 36.
UPDATE 3: (10:00 PM CST) Hillary is taking the stage after this big win in New Hampshire.
This campaign is going to get interesting.
Hillary says: “In the past week I listened to you. And in the process I found my own voice… Let’s give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me.”
Hillary is giving the Great Depression speech that connects so well with fellow socialists. Now she’s blasting corporate America. Now she’s blasting the “privileged few.”
She will end the war in Iraq the “right way” –whatever that means.
