Tuesday night's results from New Hampshire, with Hillary beating Obama by three points, with Mr. Son-of-a-millworker John Edwards a distant third. While I am firmly in the Obama camp, I am actually pleased with the results for two reasons. First, this means we will have a real campaign on our hands in the primary; which I hope allows the eventual nominee to be increasingly polished. (Though on the flip-side, if things get nasty then we could have a divided party--which must be avoided.) Second, it is a good thing that Hillary--and the Clinton machine--have saved face with the NH win. This is important because we do not want the Clinton machine going after one of our own as a wounded dog. They can be ruthless and pursue the lowest common denominator any day of the week, but when their Democratic Party pride is on the line, I would imagine that would go all out against Obama. Again, must be avoided.
So, we shall see what happens in Nevada, South Carolina, and beyond. I've pasted below a YouTube TPMtv roundup of Hillary's last five days in NH:
