Breaking News: Hillary Clinton Booed by NH Democrats!

CNN has the story here! This is NOT good news for Clinton. It is huge good news for Obama and it may mean that Edwards can sway enough leaning-Clinton voters for a strong second place.

And, since rallying around a "stop Hillary" call is the only thing still uniting the fragmented GOP, a win by either Obama or Edwards will completely confuse them. They know how to go after Edwards, but they will lose. They have no idea how to even fight Obama: All their cheap tricks, rhyming his name with Osama, calling him a secret Muslim (and thus, by implications, a terrorist), pretending that his public school with a U.S. made curriculum that just happened to have a Muslim majority in Indonesia was a "madrassah," (with fundamentalist Islamic overtones), reminding people of his youthful drug use (which he had already admitted in his autobiography)--have completey failed to work. If Hillary Clinton can't beat Obama, you can bet that (take your pick) Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani or Thompson will simply be blown away. I used to think that John McCain was the only GOP candidate running who had a real chance--but that was before his recent remark to reporters that he didn't care if we stayed "a hundred years" in Iraq. All the Democratic nominee has to do on the way to November is play that over and over before a war-weary nation and McCain's dead meat. (But, then, listen up, Dems. Whomever we elect in November MUST bring ALL the troops home quick--or you won't get a second term. That's the national mood, and it will be much more intense by January '09!)
