Despite both frequenting several Dunkin Donuts on Tuesday , (a favorite breakfast, snack, hangout spot for fat Chowds), Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barrack Obama were able to claim an early victory on Tuesday night. Although Obama was thought to have as much as a 12 point lead going into this week; Clintons shrewdness (hiring Bills old staffers) was apparently just what the doctor ordered; or atleast what Bill ordered.Clinton appears to have bested Obama by 2%, but most of the media likely won't want to kill Obama's momentum and so they will likely award both the victory through a "Close Call" headline. Maybe this will get ugly. Bring on the Willie Horton ads
On another note: Write-Ins received 1% of the vote, and Joe Biden received 0%.
John McCain, however, repeated his 2000 efforts by winning New Hampshire again, this time by 6% over windy Mitt; this giving hope to liberals everywhere that Mike Huckabee could be destroyed.

The real question is how much longer Edwards sticks around? You've got to believe that he's taken more votes from Obama than Hillary. John Edwards could be the Wild Card in all of this.....
Huckabee must not have been yelling 'I love Jesus' loud enough for the residents of New Hampshire to hear him.
I think Hillary can thank her emotional response to a question and her husband slinging mud for a narrow New Hampshire victory. She actually won the gender gap according to exit polls a number of which still pine for a third term of Bill Clinton and think a vote for her is a vote for him. She seems to be playing hard the notion that she is somehow the candidate of experience and change, both of which I doubt. Can someone tell me what exactly Hillary has accomplished in her proclaimed 30+ years of service or what meaningful change she has brought?
The GOP side is wide open. I am not sure McCain’s victory in New Hampshire is a surprise to anyone given that he was a big winner there in 2000 and is a household name in the state.
I think the next month everything should sort out with the cap being Super Tuesday.
