Wow. I have to say it. I wasn't expecting Hilary to pull it out in New Hampshire. Nobody was. Most people thought that Barack would ride the popularity wave from his surprise Iowa win through the next three or four primaries.

Maybe it was Hilary's more personalized appeal. That's what a lot of people think. Her teary-eyed plea for sure made her more personable. But I think it's more like a public betting trend than that. I think that people really did consider Barack and underdog and a fairy tale. And that means people will want to vote for him because people like the underdog, they like the prince charming who needs a little boost. But then Iowa was a wake up call, and people realized that maybe the underdog could win. And there are some issues with the idea of Barack as President. I mean, there are issues with Hillary as President of the United States, too. But at least we KNOW what those issues are. With Barack, I'm not entirely sure we'd know what we're getting.

What a crazy primary already! Huckabee! Huckabee for goodness sake!

My little brother wants to point out that New Hampshire has never picked a winner. Take that to the bank with you.
