Mrs. Clinton's emotional reply was powerful and warm...And unlike her often contrived and calculated attempts to appear down-to-earth, this was real.

B.S. About as real as Slick Sociopath Willie's crying at Ron Brown's funeral.

Rove may be right about Hillary and the moment with Barak Obama where he say she is "likeable enough" was "trash talking". It did not seem like a big deal to me. Maybe it was to touchy douche bags, just like the snif snif moment.

Happy Sappy People. I wish I had their mailing list. I would make a million selling them Eco Friendly Green Horse Manure, _{suitable for a hookah}.^TM

Mr. Obama chose soaring rhetoric and inspirational rallies.

The Dems focus on electability more than is presented in the press. I was listening to kpig radio because I like alternative music and that is an extremely radical radio station from Santa Cruz. It's Bezerkely but with great music. There was a station editorial that said that the Hillary win saved the party because she (in the mind of the editorialist) can win and Obama can't. Then he tore me up when he said she is the most ready to lead the nation out of the gate since Jimmy Carter. I can't make this stuff up.

When it comes to making the case against Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama comes across as a vitamin-starved Adlai Stevenson.

LOL

The other personal moment came on Monday, when a woman in Portsmouth asked her "how do you do it?" Mrs. Clinton's emotional reply was powerful and warm. Voters rarely see her in such a spontaneous moment. It was humanizing and appealing. And unlike her often contrived and calculated attempts to appear down-to-earth, this was real.

I am not too sure it was real.

I was not surprised Hillary won NH. Its one of the biggest limousine liberal enclaves in the U.S. Loaded with Manhattanites who have residences in both states.

South Carolina is going to be different story. Thats going to be a real test for the dems. Hillary isn’t worshiped down there the way she is in the north east. Many won’t buy her fake southern accent.

[MNJohnnie]

She won because the pre election polls told the Independents, who can vote in either primary, that Obama was a lock and the Republican race was deadlocked. So the Independents went and voted for McCain since “Obama was going to win anyway”

But I know, Karl has a whole article to write and the above explanation would leave him short a few thousand words.

[Perchant]

The only good political news to happen in the last couple of years was Rove’s departure. We had about 6 years of hearing about how the destruction of conservatism was some clever Rovian tactic towards some positive ends.

Now the same clowns assure us that this destruction of the Republican Party is a “Bush poker hand”. Uh, good luck with that.

“Third, the Clintons began — at first not very artfully — to raise questions about the fitness for the Oval Office of a first-term senator with no real accomplishments or experience.”

As opposed to a second-term Senator with no real accomplishments or experience - hokay.

[Steve_Seattle]

Well, Rove does seem to be a pro at this stuff; he has his arguments,and he lays them out. If I were a candidate, I would listen, if not obey.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Good piece by Rove.

Two reasons she won, imo...

Voting day registrations from out of state, which NH allows as long as they lie and say they are moving there.

and

The voters who are not college kids or 'stupid White women' realize that she is right when she hammers Barry on his utter lack of qualifications.

[xtinct]

In the imortal words of PT Barnum, "There's a sucker born every minute." the Hildabeast won the NH primary with a parlor trick... scripted crying...

And, the woman from Maine was drafted or paid by Hildabeast to participate in this scam. She's been all over the Boston news denying complicity... BS... me thinks she does protest too much... and saying she voted for Obama is just a nice touch...

Bubba was fully engaged in the scam too with this statement, "We can't make her younger, taller, or male."... s pffft

NH primary was a scam from the get go... allowing out-of-staters to register on the day of the election is BS... None of the people bussed or flown into NH to VOTE are going to move there. NH needs to clean up its act.

Moreon.org, etc. was all over NH...

We need to know what Hildabeast is capable of so that she doesn't try these tactics with our own eventual candidate. I could care less what she does to another Democrat... s pfffft....

[Non-Sequitur]

Karl who? Rove...Rove...wasn’t he in politics in some connection?

[Beatthedrum]

Go away, no-one cares what this over-rated pompous ass has to say. All he’s doing is trying to build her up, because the “Almighty Rove” has decided she will be easiest to beat. Or maybe he's still got his tongue stuck up Clinton's butt, because he did nothing but suck up to them all the time he was working in the WH.

The advice her gave Bush over the years has left the party in shambles, as he helped push the GOP to the left. He was the “mastermind” of two elections won on a shoe string against two total morons - Kerry & Gore, who should have been blown out of the water - 2000, the stench of the Clintons, the Clinton fatigue was handing the Presidency to anyone the GOP ran - look what happened after 2 years of Clinton in 1994 - Clinton handed the GOP their best win in the modern era. Then in 2004, with a good economy, America standing up against terrorism, Bush nearly loses to the goofball Kerry.

Shut up Rove, nobody gives a sh$t !!

[Pining_4_TX]

Funny, I thought it was because she cheated. What about all the cars with the out-of-state license plates at the polling places?

Nothing the Clintons do is on the up and up.
