Strike Two: Dixville Notch rejects Clinton
by Matt | January 8th, 2008 |Voters in the first primary in the nation, at Dixville Notch, N.H., cast their ballots at 12:00 a.m. on Jan. 8.
For the Dems, Obama came in the lead with seven votes, Edwards came in second with two votes and Richardson came in at one vote.
But wait, where’s “Unstoppable, presumed incumbent” Clinton? No where to be found.
Iowa was strike one. Perhaps Dixville Notch is strike two. Will the end of the night show a third strike by the Clinton camp? I don’t know, but let’s not jump to conclusions, yet — we still have all day to go.

I think everyone and their mother has jumped to conclusions with Clinton, and it shocked many of us, with her win tonight in NH. My Iowa post showed that it wasn’t over at all, and tonight proved there is much more ground to cover.

I have been a Clinton supporter since the beginning. I wasn’t at all surprised last night when she took New Hampshire. Clinton is a dynamic speaker and a energetic leader.
However, after seeing where the Republican party is going after Iowa, I don’t think Hillary could win over Republican and moderate-Independent voters.
I’m shocked to see how poor John Edwards did last night. I’m not sure why Americans are voting for Obama. Former President Clinton hit the nail on the head when he called Obama a flip-flop and his campaign a “fairy tale.”
For sure, we will be able to tell where America is going after Super Tuesday. We can only hope for a candidate that possesses strong policies and leadership.
Oh yea, so Matt, is this considered STRIKE ONE for Edwards?

Thankfully, we now have a few weeks to go. And as much as I’d love to stretch this out until all states have a say in the process, or at least until March when I and millions of other Texans will have the opportunity to cast a ballot, I’m sure this will probably be decided on Super Tuesday.
And I suppose it’s worth sacrificing the Texas vote in order to bring an end to the negativity which will certainly increase, the longer this process drags on.
