The woman who asked her the question that lead to her tears was on NPR this morning. She voted for Obama.

Maybe it was all in the cracking of the voice, but I saw (no sound) a clip of the "breaking into tears" moment like 5 times last night and was unable to discern any actual tears. POSSIBLY there could have been some minor brimming of the eyes.

I was amazed the so-called tears dominated a cycle of news coverage. Maybe the facts that there were assholes like Edwards trashing her for the non-event had something to do with that.

I think Obama got a little cocky and sure of himself, and that may have had as much to do with it as a moment of humanness from Hillary. There were lots of Obama followers and media who were pretty much declaring victory after one state. The 18 year old enthusiast you can forgive that bit of amateurishness - but Chris Matthews?

Obviously too weak to be president. Chick's are so fucking emotional.

Your candidate seems to suddenly have a lot of time on his hands - have him do it.

My candidate nearly came in third, yet spent no time in New Hampshire in the last 10 weeks.

If he's floundering after Florida, then talk to me.

Speaking of candidates, where's your boy Kucinich?

There is some awful ABC News pick your candidate program that has you answer a number of questions and then matches you with your ideal candidate. It told me that my top three were (in this order) - (1) Kucinich, (2) Romney, (3) Huckabee. I can only deduce that they must all be in favor of gay marriage.

Needless to say, I do not consider those to be my top three candidates.

Please. Less than 10% of the vote, and closer to Ron Paul than to Huckabee. On both sides, it was the first two and then everyone else had scraps.

who gives a shit. next week is bigger than any of those two. Rudy and McCain could actually win here in November. Shouldn't that count for something?

conf to ncs: I'm voting i the Dem Primary for your guy, Denny K.

Congratulations. You're insane, which qualifies you for social security benefits, your ticket out of the rat race.

2. This is just a warm-up. McCain, sadly, will not be the GOP nominee (I have to admit, the guy's the most honest of them, which I like). And Obama will find himself savaged once again by the press, which will cost him South Carolina.

Rudy v. Hillary. Two self-interested, annoying assholes running for the ultimate class presidency. Lovely.

I spoke a little broadly there.

I was just using you as a jumping-off point. I had seen all the headlines and crap, but hadn't read any articles -- and then, it wasn't even crying. WTF was the big deal? Why was this a big deal? Why was there a huge media hoopla about her being out of the race when only one state had had any kind of primary activity?

I fucking hate election years.
