Self | Self | Self

[TortReformer]

ANYONE NOTICE THE RATS HAVE TWICE THE VOTE AS THE REPUBLICANS.....

[TomGuy]

CNN prelims

11% precincts

39% Clinton
36% Obama

37% McCain
28% Romney
12% Huckabee
9% Giuliani

I hope Clinton/Obama stay close the entire primary season. Think of the bloodletting.

[darkmatter]

Yea I just saw that too.

If McCain beats Romney by a larger margin than Obama Beats Clinton, then Romney has got a problem!

I cant believe some people are still voting for Huckafraud!

Whats up with that?!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Brit Hume already talking about the close loss allowing clinton to claim “comeback kid” status

Television play to keep viewers.

[tioga]

McCain further to the left? LOL, yep...looks like it.

[SkyPilot]

From Drudge....9% of vote in:

OBAMA 36%
CLINTON 37%

[ARCADIA]

Exit poll numbers (from mydd)

http://mydd.com/story/2008/1/8/19224/30459

Obama 41

Clinton 37

Edwards 15

McCain 36

Romney 30

Huckabee 13

Paul 11

Giuliani 8.5

Other exit polling shows a statistical tie between Hillary and Obama (like Drudge) and McCain ahead. BTW, liberal blogs that support Obama are all now saying it will be very close.

[icwhatudo]

Now Juan Williams saying she’s the comeback kid....sigh

[Timmy]

All Hillary has to do is stay within shouting distance, and the super-delegates will put her on top.

[andy58-in-nh]

It’s close. Keene (big Lib college town) - 60% returned - Obama up there by 9 points.

[TomGuy]

FR is ridiculously sluggist tonight.

At this rate, it won’t make it through Super Tuesday.

[al baby]

And that surprises you how ?

[pillut48]

Oh, ye of little faith. ;-)

[ArmstedFragg]

I think it’s rule 91 in the Clinton playbook that covers claiming that a loss is actually a victory because you didn’t lose by as much as ‘they’ said you’d lose. It’s sort of a self-fulfilling ‘comeback kid’ scenario, and one many of us have been predicting we’d see tonight.

[Repeal 16-17]

Oh no! It looks like Hillary stays within 10 points!

So what? What matters is whether she wins New Hampshire. The idea that because Hillary loses by less than 10% is somehow a win would be a record setting amount of spin. If Obama wins N.H., then Hillary is in big trouble. Period.

[Theresawithanh]

Here’s an interesting take on the Hillary/cry incident, for those of us who take decadent joy in her predicament:

Don’t worry, it only goes to the top of page 2 and for only one paragraph.

[omega4179]

Darn I wanted to see the house drop on her.

[kinsman redeemer]

I concur.

[Rokurota]

WOW - The witch ain’t dead ...

This is one case where letting the witch live on for another month isn't such a bad thing. This could be fun.
