Also funny since as reported ON MSNBC, CNN, and ABC, the entrance poll results showed Clinton and Obama fighting for first with Edwards lagging a bit.

The reports are of lots of newbee voters. Looks like the new Obama supporters are for real - that hey excited enough to actually come out and vote for a change (instead of just talking about it). That's rare. If that trend continues in other states, Obama may well get the nomination.

Wow !!

CNN just declared Huckabee the winner !!
That was quick

Bad news for the flip flop express
Byb, bye Willard

A McCain/Huckabee ticktet would be the strongest for the Republicans

But, Obama/Edwards will beat them !!
Obama/Edwards '08

I am just thrilled we even have the opportunity to have this conversation of who will be first, who will be second. So many times before, ho hum, we knew who was going to take it!It's refreshing to debate about all of the candidates. They all seem worthy. At least those at the top. Good luck to all. May our country be saved from this reign of poor communication.

Who's the 'front runner' ?
Who's 'electable' ?

This is the buzz Obama needs in New Hampshire

Five days and counting

If he wins NH and SC it's 'three strikes' for Hillary !
