Hillary's Rabbit Out of Hat

Well now, Hillary wins in New Hampshire. You go girl! I say that not so much as a Hillary supporter (I still prefer Edwards), but more from the glee that gushes out of me because the pundits pretty much had it all wrong. Hey you pundit guys, don't be so anxious to be writing candidates off before the people (you know, the voters) have had their chance at the polls. Just maybe the media air bags don't influence us as much as they like to think they do. I hope not anyway.

I was disappointed with Edward's distant third place. But hey, it's not over till the Fat Lady sings, and I don't see her in the wings yet. One can hope that South Carolina will treat one of their own well. I sure like the things that Edwards has had to say, especially concerning the disparities in our contemporary society.

Obama, well , he did great. Good solid numbers. He has the gift of oratory, puts on a good show, and certainly can stir the congregation. But if the contest comes down to be between Clinton vs. Obama - I will jump on the Clinton bandwagon. She is smart, savvy and tough. AND she knows the lay of the land - which is to say I think she could do the job better due to her experience versus Obama who has little more to offer in that category than wishful thinking. Then again, if experience was the only consideration then Biden should have been the choice. President Biden? I don't think so.
