Hillary Clinton takes New Hampshire, when just a day ago she was behind in the polls. Her organization in the state was excellently strategized. John McCain has thankfully taken the Republican nomination in N.H. crushing the plastic cultist Mitt (what a disgustingly perky name) Romney, as well as what could have been the end of the republic, Mike Huckabee. Is he running for president or dog watcher with “Mike” and not Michael. Guiliani has come into a terrible 4th with only around 9% of the vote. Thompson only took about 2500 votes and this is the end of his now useless campaign. Edwards is now most likely totally wrecked and America will not become a mixture of agrarianism, Maoism, and Southern populism. Gravel and Kucinich took a few both and thankfully they stay in these elections, with no chance of winning, to force the Democrats to realize how leftist the party really is.
Ron Paul took about 16% of the vote, less than I hoped, coming in right under Guiliani. His fate is now unclear as far as I can see.
Guiliani and Thompson should immediately drop out of the campaign. If they do I assume Guiliani would give his money to Romney, with Thompson giving his money to McCain. I believe Obama will take S. Carolina and Clinton will take either or both Michigan and Nevada.
We are finally going to have an interesting primary season and conventions, New Hampshire and Iowa have lost their monopoly as the arbitrators of our national presidential elections.
Let the chaos begin…
