UPDATE: Well Barack may have counted his chickens before they were hatched. He was perhaps too complacent, a teeny bit, for sure he is sweating now. Used to Chicago and Illinois, where you win the primary, you win the election, he may have underestimated the Clinton machine.
UPDATE: It's like watching the Yankees and the Mets in the World Series.
UPDATE: Hillary wins among registered Dems, according to exit polling. And women go for Hillary, the reverse of Iowa[Barack won by 5%]. She is winning women 47-34%.
UPDATE: Hillary is winning the ultra-libs along the Vermont border, that Obama had hoped for. (They know she's a hard core leftie.) Barone says NH is high turnout perennially, where as in Iowa it's low, so Obama had lots of room to tap new voters--more college towns there.
UPDATE: For good or for ill, we Boomers are apparently not fading away yet. The culture wars continue. This is my comment, not the talking heads.
UPDATE: Reports Obama advisers clustering trying to figure out what is going on. Were Obama voters out drinking and forgot to vote? Mary Katharine Ham. Looks like Obama wins independents, Hillary wins Democrats.
UPDATE: Hillary wins on unions, seniors, single women, lower income women--old-style Dems. Obama support among men, young voters under 30. Change voters, and independents.
UPDATE: It may come down to the vote around Hanover, NH--Dartmouth town. Upscale, liberal and young, question is how many voted (or were off for their quarter abroad or whatever.)
UPDATE: I feel the greatest sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards, but what's with her speaking first all the time? Not appropriate.
UPDATE: Rich Lowry wonders if it was the tears. Yeah, I thought this too. Got the women's vote. Hillary cried, Barack died.
Final UPDATE??: AP, NBC calls for Hillary , 9:26 pm. Barone at Fox says not yet, don't know turnout in college towns. No CNN yet. Apparently Hillary supporters are shouting EAT CROW in the media room. (Heh) Hillary may have done better than Bill.
Final Final UPDATE???: So Hillarious, lifted from NRO:
Fox guys cracking up---they're baaaack!re: hope sweeping the country [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
They wanted a CHANGE.
Well That Didn't Last Long [Rich Lowry]
Whatever happened to hope sweeping the country? That was so 2 p.m.
...waiting for Barack's speech:)
UPDATE: FoxNews projects hillary winner
UPDATE: Barack up. Waving the CHANGE signs. Barack says change is what is happening in America. Crowd obediently chants We Want Change. Barack wants to lead this nation out of "the long political darkness". (Who knew?--it's politics that is the enemy)
UPDATE: Talks about a "new majority", the "planet" and ending the war
UPDATE: "We will never use 9/11 to scare up votes" (How scary is that) Crowd is a bit confused
UPDATE: CHANGE. "In the unlikely story that is America, there is nothing false about hope" Good line. Goes into yes we can.
UPDATE: going into the rhythmic finish--founders, slaves, women, ---blah, blah, to heights!!!!
He wants to heal the nation and repair the world--dishwashers in Vegas? Brit signs off, Sean takes it (Oh yeah, dishwashers, Obama going after the loser Edwards union vote)
UPDATE: Frank Luntz on. "Hillary will not go away" sigh. New voters mess up the pollsters.
UPDATE: Hillary up--READY for Change signs. Bill on stage, gives her hug "Her heart is full" , " She has found her own voice"
UPDATE: "Politics isn't a game" (no, it's deadly serious)... "living up to God-given potential"..housing, health insurance, young people, invisible people--"You are not Invisible to ME!!" Big bad oil, predatory lenders for student loans. (Hillary sees the bad corporate guys bigtime, but---Invisible people for HIllary!!!)
BORED already
UPDATE: middle class, blah, blah, of the people, by the people, not just the privileged few, END THE WAR the right way, (kowtow to world opinion blah, blah)
UPDATE: Hillary will get up in the morning and roll up her sleeves
UPDATE: Young voters voted hearts and minds (Hillary is the smartest woman in the world)
