Hillary Wins N.H. and N.H. disappoints America

New Hampshire voters allowed their pride and Yankee stubbornness to resurrect Hillary in the 2008 Presidential Primary. She won 39% to Obama's 37% of the vote. It was a big mistake for New Hampshire, and a lost opportunity for America. But the voters there have spoken and now we must hope that the loss for Sen. Obama will only ignite more primary voters in other states to make a clearer statement. Hillary may feel good about her win, but when you think she only got 39% of the vote and has not garnered 50% of the vote, this speaks volumes to me and should to you. Her negatives allowed Obama to get 37% and Edwards got 17% of the vote and Richardson got 5%. If you think about it, about 60% of the voters don't want Hillary. She can't win in a general election because of her high negatives. Wake up America. Sen. Obama can win.

Part of the reason Sen. Obama lost was because many Independent voters decided they wanted to save Sen. John McCain and did not vote Democratic. Sen. Obama should go on to South Carolina and Nevada and have more attention. He would win if the other candidates such as Sen. Edwards decided to get out of the race. However, Gov. Bill Richardson, who is really wanting to be Vice President and has as much stated so, will be in the race to spoil Sen. Obama's chances by taking votes away from him, which strengthens Hillary's hand. It is possible that Sen. Edwards is doing the same thing. Time will tell, but Super Tuesday is only a month away!
