"MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - Arizona Sen. John McCain won the New Hampshire Republican primary on Tuesday, a huge boost to his bid for the U.S. presidential nomination just months after his campaign was being written off as a lost cause.

In the Democratic race to be the presidential nominee in the November election, former first lady Hillary Clinton was in a tight battle to keep her once high-flying Democratic campaign alive against rival Barack Obama's surge."

As of right now, Hillary has a 4 point lead on Obama. Much to my chagrin, this would be a VERY good showing for the Clinton camp if she won NH!

Interesting race thus far...looks as 'tho Hillary has taken the lead over Obama too.

Odd to me that Huckabee is thrilled to be 3rd. Guess that's because he was 6th only a few short weeks ago.

I think this race is going to be all over the place. There's no clear best candidate from either party. Each person running should expect a seesaw experience from state to state.

Huckabee won Iowa for one reason and one reason, only...The Evangelical Christian vote! You're not going to find a whole lot of Evangelical Christians ANYWHERE in New England! It's simply not who we are, and we don't support candidates based upon their religious affiliation! I would agree that finishing third in NH would be a good think for Huckabee. McCain winning is also no surprise. He won NH the last time he ran.

Nor do you support candidates based upon whether or not, they're married men who've driven off a bridge in the wee hours of the morning and left a non-spousal young lady to drown. Then swim to shore, retreat to the family compound for several hours to try to come up with an alibi before calling authorities.

You're absolutely correct, sir! That's why Teddy didn't win the presidency when he ran back in 1980. If not for Chappaquiddick, I'm pretty sure that he would have been elected president at one point or another...Just not in 1980, as that was Reagan's time!

Go Hillary in the Primaries! She's an easy target in the general elections.

Be careful for what you wish for asshole. Your smear campaign won't work this time. Have you seen the difference in turnouts? People are done with your party. Hell, I could win the fucking presidency. Just stick a "D" next to my name and it's a slam dunk. You guys don't get it. The electorate hates your party. They will NEVER vote Republican, not this year.

Hillary is a tough out.

What, you going to throw MCCain up there, a 125 yr old dinosaur who wanted immigration amnesty? nope.
You going to throw up a guy who just repeats 9/11, is corrupt and crossdresses? go for it
A GOP er from Mass, who changes opinions more than his clothes? go for it.
An actor who really doesn't care if he is elected?

Fuck you to all of you. You all piled on me earlier today, and as it turns out, you were ALL wrong.

Eat the corn out of my shit.

My point was that I'd be embarrassed to have him as my senator.
