While I would prefer Edwards/Obama, looks like I'll have to settle for Obama/Edwards. Obama has incredible momentum. Absent a "Dean scream" media event, he wins the nomination if he holds on to win New Hampshire.
imho

what the heck is wrong with a competitive primary that is not a two person race or a race decided before half the states have had a chance to vote?

A substantial Iowa bump for Obama was widely predicted, including by hillary supporters. The polls were close even before Iowa.

15. Which way will they move now is the question |
|
I expected Obama would win NH if he won Iowa, it was close there already and he had momentum. In 2004 Dean took a big hit in NH polls right after Iowa and then regained some of his lost ground a week later in the actual voting. Obama will win New Hampshire, the question now is will his momentum keep building up until the actual vote, or do these numbers (assuming they are accurate) reflect the high water mark bump he got from NH in the immediate afterglow of a sound victory and immensely positive following day press coverage which that brought him?

pretty much the last 2 weeks or so had all 3 of them within the margin of error for each other, virtually a tie. To those of us on the ground, it had been obvious for awhile that Hill was not going to win the caucus. Edwards supporters would show up for certain...the only question was if Obamas would....he was either going to fall on his face (like Dean in the 2004 caucus) or win spectacurlarly. He had a potential higher high and a potential lower low than the others.

What is really interesting is the meat of the polling.
Eighty percent (80%) of Obama voters say they are certain they will vote for him. Seventy-three percent (73%) of Clinton voters say the same along with 64% of Edwards supporters.
Eighty-five percent (85%) of Likely Primary Voters have a favorable opinion of Obama. Seventy-eight percent (78%) say the same about Edwards and 69% offer a positive assessment of Clinton.
Obama is seen as the most electable Democratic candidate. Eighty-seven percent (87%) believe he would be at least somewhat likely to win if nominated. Seventy-six percent (76%) say the same about Clinton and 75% think Edwards would have a chance. Fifty-one percent (51%) of the Likely Democratic Primary Voters believe Obama would be Very Likely to win. Just 38% have such confidence in Clinton.
I mean ....WOW:wow: I hope this isn't just a fluke.

Your resentment against NH is getting the better of any good sense you may possess.
Since a many as 60% of NH voters are reporting being undecided, anything could happen.

I just don't like a process that has the whole thing decided by a tiny fraction of voters, in Iowa.
I'm fine with Obama. I was fine with Kerry. But I'd like to see an actual race that involves a lot of other states and a lot of other voters. When NH changes to go along with Iowa (as is happening again, it seems), then the next tier changes to go along with Iowa and NH, it's over before it began.
At least NH should stop representing itself as independent and not influenced by Iowa. It may be true for some, but not for many.

that you don't live here, have probably never even been here, and your views are shaped by what you read in mainstream media - I'm thinking you aren't qualified to speak as to whether NH is independent or not.
There are some very real, and very important differences between NH and Iowa.
NH isn't full of evangelical Christians.
NH does have a fair sized libertarian leaning presence.
NH is a PRIMARY state. We do not stand in corners shouting and horse trading our votes. We vote, secretly, on paper ballots. All NH elections are required to be done on paper ballots.
The candidates who were marginalized in the Iowa caucus will do better in NH.
The supporters of the candidates who dropped after Iowa are up for grabs. Where they go is anyone's guess.
I understand that there is great resentment about the primary process, and much of it is aimed at NH for having the first in the nation primary. Be careful what you wish for. Changing the primary system to include bigger states guarantees that only corporate sponsored candidates that can afford huge campaigns and media buys will be the result.
That said - the whole primary/election process goes on much too long. We need some real reform. BUT - that won't happen if all we get are corporate funded candidates.

I'm responding to measurable shifts in NH pre-Iowa and post-Iowa. The one thing I don't know is what will happen on Tuesday, since I can't tell the future; but it's looking like another "me too."
You see the primaries as going on too long; I see them as over with too soon.
I haven't brought up any changes to the primary process (except to say I wish NH really were all as independent as the claims say). But including "bigger states" isn't the only way it could be changed.

68. you are responding to polls |

polls are not facts. Polls only reflect the views of those who have land lines and listed phone numbers. A generation of young people are not represented in those polls. Some of the polls are deeply flawed. I've been called by pollsters who only want to give me choices of certain candidates, not all of them
Any polling done in NH by Andy Smith at UNH is suspect. He was so wrong in November of 2006, I can't believe anyone takes him seriously any longer.
You are unwilling to listen to any information about the reality of NH. I'm sorry about that.
Enjoy your preconceived notions. I suspect there will be some surprises for you on Tuesday.

78. try looking at the 2006 election |
|
in 2006, NH went from being a red state to a blue state.
In 2006, NH voted out two incumbent GOP Congressman (one had been in office for 12 years, the other for 4 years) and replaced them with Democrats. In CD 1, the winner was a no-name grassroots candidate named Carol Shea-Porter. CSP beat the 2 term GOP incumbent, with less than a quarter of a million dollars. She did it with no initial help from the Democratic Party establishment. The DCCC put a lot of money and support into a different primary candidate. No one had ever heard of her - but she won, because of a powerful grassroots candidacy. The other Dem beat the 12 year incumbent - and raised more money than any Dem ever has in NH.
Both remain very popular.
In 2006, the Democrats took control of the NH state senate. We retained the governor's seat. Most interestingly, the Democrats took control of the NH House for the first time since the Civl War. For over 150 years the NH House was controlled by the GOP. The Democrats took control with a huge margin.
NH is the fastest growing New England state. We may still look very white on the surface, but that is changing fast. Over 70 languages are spoken in the schools of our largest city.
The 2006 elections should indicate that there have been big changes here - and that anything can happen. This ain't Iowa. This ain't the same NH that voted for Pat Buchanan or John McCain.
That's my final lesson in the reality of NH.

91. That all sounds like what we've seen in NH over the years |
|
I don't think you've given us much inside scoop we didn't already know, whether we've been "qualified" to speak about New Hampshire or not.
And of all of it, the one thing that is most true, and disappointing, is the whole 'libertarian' streak.
Libertarians deserve little respect if any from progressives. They are basically Publicans who can't quite buy into the whole ugly mess, but still more than enough of the really bad underlying economic concepts to make up a cult of ideological crackpots that does *plenty* to help sell this country down the right-wing toilet. I'll grant that New Hampshire's libertarian streak seems somewhat less assholish than the libertarian community at large - kind of an irascible independence that can't quite make up its mind on anything and so *settles* on a label of libertarianism - but still, it's nothing to be proud of.
I'm hoping that one other aspect of New Hampshire voters that has always come through to me, but you didn't mention - a certain, almost pained cynicism - sees through Obama's empty preachery speechifying. But I'm not counting on it.

I hate to have to be forced to vote for a corporate/religonist candidate..

So I'd hold my nose and vote for Obama if I had to.

After the IWR and the Patriot Act? And with the obvious exception of Hillary's yea vote on Lieberman-Kyl? Yeah, except for those small disparities, they're pretty similar. Sheesh.

57. Actually, you'd have to add Boxer |

and Kennedy and Leahy, at the very least. Accomplishment over the years does count.

72. Obama plays the religion thing well, but he really isn't. |
|
I just don't see a religious nut in Obama.

62. Rasmussen's numbers were way off the mark in Iowa. Why should I believe their NH's numbers? |
|
What say you folks in the Granite State?

I would thinkNH would be easier to poll because there are few variables.

79. We'll see. It would be phenomenal if it's true. |
|
But we'll see what happens when everything is said and done.
If he does win, what happens with the superdelegate situation?

83. When Obama wins NH, will Hiilary claim she was never the front runner again? |
|
I can't believe she thinks the American electorate is that stupid.
She was the front runner all summer long, yet after she loses in Iowa, she claims that she was never the front runner!?
Gimme a break!
By the way, it's the 10th anniversary of the Lewinsky scandal - congratulations, Hillary!
You said in 1992 that you weren't like that song that Tammy Wynette sung and that you weren't just a woman "who would stand by your man"!
Looks to me like you are "standing by your man" now.
Guess what, Hillary? I like Tammy Wynette and I used to listen to her records all the fuckin' time!

87. When did she claim she wasn't the front-runner? |
|
She was never strong in Iowa, unless you go back to the very early race when only she and Edwards had name recognition. But I have never heard her say anything about not being in front overall.
I guess truth isn't important when you're slinging mud at a Clinton.

89. I think that Obama will win in NH because of the Independents. |
|
I also think that he'll win in SC, but I'm sure that Hillary will eventually prevail and win the nomination. We'll see how things turn out on Feb. 5th.

Whose grandiose speechifying is - how did Shakespeare put it - "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing".
