That doesn't make any sense.

I have to agree. It's a relief to know that the people didn't buy the hype. Truly a different mindset. There's hope for us all!

You really don't know what they were thinking. I think a lot of undeclared thought that Obama had it in the bag and wanted to derail Romney.

I wonder why the polls were off on this one?

Sure it does....and it will make a lot more sense over the next week when all you hear on the news shows is about Hillary's comeback win in NH....a win that was expected up until 5 days ago....then after Iowa, Obama by 13% based on Iowa hype....then he lost by 3-4% tonight.

Without the hype it is an expected Clinton win.
With the hype, it a resounding Obama loss.

It still makes no sense to me.

One thing to keep in mind is that New Hampshire is not an all or nothing state. Both Obama and Clinton will come away with 8 delegates each from New Hampshire.

I just watched Hills victory speech and couldn't help but notice that the audience was a sea of young faces... so I guess Obama doesn't have a lock on the youth vote after all.

Or McCain. Maybe even Romney. Please god don't let it be Romney. But it could happen. We got Bush twice, after all. You never know.

Oh please. Greatest political upset??? This is just the primaries. Damn the media. They make up this **** at a moments notice, throw it out there and pat each other on the back if it sticks. For a minute. Until another network throws another handful of crap.
Did anyone seriously think that it was over for Clinton after Iowa?

I understand that fact, but 8 delegates is not worth anywhere near what the play in the media will be.

I'm hearing all over the news that Clinton's win has been one of the "greatest political upsets in American history". I've only been watching MSNBC, but still, that's all they're saying.
