Hillary achieves unexpected victory, McCain defeats Romney

Despite a dozen weekend polls that all showed Obama leading by upwards of 10 percent and exit polls pointing to a rout over Hillary, New Hamshire voters proved that THEY (not the media, polling firms, and spin masters on FOX, MSNBC, and CNN) determine the election.

Something to notice: Hillary's concession speech in Iowa was analyzed and noted for the supporters standing behind her in the background shots: General Wesley Clark, former Sec. of State Madeleine Albright, and other "old" persons who represented a presidential administration of the past--unlike Obama who surrounded himself with young people.

Clinton surrounds herself with youth of America in NH:

Tonight, Hillary filled the stage with young voters and signs stating "Ready for Change," in an attempt to borrow from Obama's powerful and resonating campaign theme.

I now believe that using the word "change" is like being 13, wearing an Abercrombie and Fitch tshirt, and thinking you're unique.

Erin--
I completely agree.
I think "change" be be the most overused word this campaign cycle. And I think it will filter down to many of the local races. Unfortunately, we'll be hearing it from all the candidates for the next 11 months
