Crying might have done in Ed Muskie, but it seems to have worked for Hillary.

Dame Hillary barely won this. So much for being the inevitable nominee.
She is going to have to step up her game big time if she wants to win.

Yeah, what a terrible night for Hillary. Being ten points down in nearly every major poll and winning.

She should just drop out.

Her NH strategy paid off, but it was fairly close. It's still anybody's name with a 1-2-3, 3-1-2 finish out of the starting gate, with Clinton getting some DNC establishment behind her with pre-aligned delegates to the convention.

To win, her and Obama are doing to have to scratch and fight for all the big populous states now.

Dame Hillary was polling ahead of Obama until just days before the primaries. She was expected to walk away with New Hampshire. She did not and had to sweat it out in a liberal state with demographics in her favor. Sure based on the last few polls her camp can spin an upset victory over Obama however if you track the polls over a longer time frame the polls were starting to show an Obama upset over Clinton.

Clinton will have to work for the nod and is retooling her campaign. She is also preparing to go negative big time against Obama. Very risky. I will be very interested is seeing what happens in SC for obvious reasons.

Should any one drop out? No way, we got us a real contest instead of the boring "coronation" that was shaping up.

If the Chamber of Commerce has their way, never.
