[QUOTE=Marley23] The Associated Press has apparently called the race for Clinton as well. CNN says it’s too close to call, with a lead of close to 6,000 votes for Clinton with some major college towns yet to report. D’oh! [/QUOTE] FOX says the college towns are chump change…500 votes at most. Not enough for Obama… ---

[QUOTE=Malodorous] Neat, though it doesn’t look like the more populated districts in the S are particularly favoring Obama. [/QUOTE] Actually pretty clear now that the Boston area is favoring Clinton ---

[QUOTE=Anomalous Reading] The press over-response may well have helped her… [/QUOTE] Yeah, judging from the results among women voters, it seems they may have rallied to her defense. Oh boy! A horse race! My vote might actually matter this year! ---

Edwards is toast. [He is only polling at 15% in South Carolina](http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/south_carolina-primary.html), and this result certainly won’t help him. I expect most of his voters will defect to Obama. I suspect he may strike some sort of deal to endorse Obama. (A cabinet position, perhaps?) ---

[QUOTE=fifty-six] [http://www.politico.com/nhprimaries/nhmap-popup.html](http://www.politico.com/nhprimaries/nhmap-popup.html) [/QUOTE] That’s a nice map. I really like the expanding light areas when you drag your mouse over a county, and the fading trail of selections as you move your cursor around. Someone put some effort into that map, and I hope we see more like it in the coming primaries. ---

It’s going to be interesting to see how the South Carolina polls move over the next few days as a result of this outcome. ---

I cannot suppress my disdain for Hillary Clinton. She strikes me as a snake-oil salesperson…not to mention how I perceive her in terms of sincerity, as well as her inability to differentiate herself in words that mean something to me. And ultimately, we need a breath of fresh air. If Hillary is elected, then it means a Clinton or Bush has held the White House since 1988. I’m not willing to submit to this kind of dynastic bullshit. ---

Just what we need… more of the Clinton/Bush dynasty. When do we get our country back? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-hampshire-results/432802.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-hampshire-results/432802.md?page=5)
