Now that Hillary won despite (because of?) her emotional moment yesterday, it seems an okay time to point out that last night, TBS ran the Sex in the City episode about ... women crying at work! The scene: Samantha and her three best friends are sitting Read More...

It's been at least 45 minutes since MSNBC announced Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire, and it still doesn't make any sense. The narrative has not changed since Iowa. Barack Obama had the message "Americans" believed in. His crowd sizes were huge in New Read More...

NASHUA -- The energy is at a 10 here during Obama's concession speech, but you can tell that if he'd won, it would go up to 11. His message is what you'd expect: pride for what's been achieved, despite falling short of victory. "No one would have imagined Read More...

Judging by this morning’s headlines, just about everyone was confident that Barack Obama was going to win the New Hampshire primary by a comfortable margin. “Clinton Braces for Second Loss; Union, Senators May Back Obama,” the Wall Street Journal declared Read More...

Always count on Fred Thompson to put a positive spin on things. Especially election losses. This statement just went out: Tonight's results, with no clear frontrunner, prove the GOP nomination is wide open. The next battlefield is South Carolina, where Read More...

A question I haven't heard asked yet: Is Hillary's lead (and maybe win) John Edwards' fault? The Edwards campaign has lumped Edwards and Obama together all week to try and ride Obama's coattails out of Iowa. By latching on to Obama's surge, Edwards may Read More...

Watching McCain's speech, I find it striking how little emotion he's putting into it. Considering he just went from political oblivion to first-primary champion over the course of six months, you would think he would be a bit more triumphant. It's probably Read More...

NASHUA -- "Hillary Clinton's lead has shrunk to four points now," says Keith Olbermann's voice, booming from the jumbotron at the Nashua South High School where Obama is holding his election night rally. Cheers go up, seeing as last time we checked, she Read More...

Mitt Romney, in his (sort-of) concession speech this evening, has picked up a new (to us) verbal tic. He listed a variety of Washington's failures and then said Washington promised to fix them. Then he said, over and over again after each point, "but Read More...

It's dawning on the cable newsers that the Obama coverage they were planning for this evening may not be in store. So, considering we wondered what would happen if Obama lost , it's worth wondering what happens if Clinton wins. Yes, there's a difference. Read More...

This is what happens when you skip the early primaries. You drop below the top three, which means you get lumped in with the Ron Pauls and Duncan Hunters of the world. Even if Keith Olbermann slipped when he said Giuliani was outside the Romney-Huckabee-McCain Read More...

NEWS: McCain is projected to win New Hampshire on the Republican side, but it's unclear by how much. An initial thought: Is this because Tom Tancredo dropped out of the race on December 20 ? Without Tancredo, McCain hasn't had an uber, uber hardliner Read More...

So says the Blitzer and his employer . Gee, Wolf, thanks for letting me know. Took some real sleuthing there. Read More...

One of the seedier traditions of cable news is displaying the precinct returns as they come in. Polls haven't even closed across the state, yet Fox News is telling me Clinton is up by two percentage points. Whatever happened to serving in the public interest? Read More...

Spotted this in a bathroom at the Winnacunnet High School in Hampton, N.H. I know it's not as reliable as chicken entrails, but should her campaign be concerned that it contains the word "Hillary"? Moreover, should anyone be concerned that I'm whipping Read More...

If you haven't yet heard about Bill O'Reilly's pushy moment at an Obama event over the weekend, read John Dickerson's first-hand account here . Then watch the video from O'Reilly's program here . Apparently O'Reilly wanted to set the record straight about Read More...

Whatever you think of Mike Huckabee's opinions on immigration, the IRS, and quarantining AIDS victims, you can't deny he's one of the most fascinating presidential candidates in some time. From his American Legion event last night in Rochester: Read More...

Be sure to check out The Colbert Report tonight at 11:30 ET on Comedy Central. Apparently the show's booking team worked its way down the list of credible journalists all the way to ... us! Also, check back tonight for live updates on the New Hampshire Read More...

While the Barack Obama coronation parade marches on, it's worth taking a breather from the Obama maniacs, devotees, and apologists to ponder what happens if he comes in second tonight. Sure, it may not happen, but what if it did? Obama is only sort of Read More...

Maybe this happens every four years, but I feel like there's been an unusual number of animals trotted out on behalf of candidates this cycle. Here's one dog I caught at a Huckabee event at the local American Legion last night: Then there's the Great Read More...

A major theme of this campaign so far has been message theft. Everyone wants "change" — so much that if you want to stand out, you pretty much have to defend the status quo. Everyone claims to be running for the youth of America. And here's the most recent Read More...

Forget who's going to win. It's just as fun to figure out who's going to drop out. We've seen two candidates bail since our last death watch , and one more is likely to go tonight. R.I.P. Chris Dodd and Joe Biden: Fittingly, their candidacies are buried Read More...

ROCHESTER, N.H. — We’ve already spent many a post cataloguing the various morbid quips that come out of the Mike Huckabee’s mouth. What we didn’t know is that his wife, Janet, has the same sense of humor. Tonight she held court at the local branch of Read More...
