As I write this, the New Hampshire returns are coming in. The Republican side is already decided, with John Mccain the projected winner by about a seven to ten point margin. No big surprise there. The big surprise is on the Democratic side, where Hillary Clinton is clinging to a 2 point lead with 50% of precincts reporting. Most insiders believe she will hang on and win by a point or two.
These results are absolutely stunning! Every Democratic poll going into this primary had Barack Obama running away with this. Some had him up as much as 15 points! The fact that Hillary has apparently rallied to pull out a tight win here is amazing.
As I wrote earlier today, Hillary was in real trouble if she lost tonight. I also had a funny feeling it couldn't be this easy to get rid of the Clinton machine. Tonight, my suspicions are being confirmed. Hillary is still a formidable force. She has a well-funded, well-oiled machine. If the results tonight hold and Hillary wins New Hampshire, she may emerge as the front runner again.
