It’s all about the timing

Jan 8th, 2008 by Nelson Benton

Two weeks ago, a close finish in New Hampshire would have been a huge win for Barack Obama. Unfortunately for him, by the time the primary arrived, he was expected to win big and that second-place finish became a major disappointment for his camp.
It was just the opposite for Hillary, once considered a prohibitive favorite, who by Tuesday night had been transformed into the second “Comeback Kid” in the Clinton family by narrowly edging the Illinois senator.
It goes to show that momentum can be a double-edged sword in American politics. Tuesday morning Obama had it, but by Tuesday night it had disappeared along with much of the snow cover in Southern New Hampshire.

    I think it is wrong to have two organizations without standing in our government to tell the people who they will be allowed to vote for. We need to get someone to run who has no so-called party affiliation to be the people’s candidate.

    John kerrys announcment sparked 10,000 comments about him and his record. We are sick of him. I sick of him and he is giving massachusetts the name of socialist state. He wants to help illegal immigrants so he can buy votes with tax payers dollars. Dont support this fraud. He has been around too long and. I guess no Ketchup on my freedom fries. Well i dont have anything against france but im an amercian. But we need to stop instate tuition and we need to seal our borders. The average citizen couldnt go to school if they wanted too and to find out people who dont blong here and have always benefited from other peoples rights that were granted based on civil rights is even more gut wrenching. John kerry your fired. And all the gas bags on beceaon hill your all going to be fired too.

    And speaking of in-state tuition, our esteemed governor, Coupe Deval is trying to resurrect the in-state tuition for illegals again.
    Why is it a law abiding U.S. citizen from New Hampshire for example, is required to pay out of state tuition rates yet law breakers, such as illegal aliens, should pay in-state rates?
    It is absolute insanity. This mindset that we owe illegals the same bennies as U.S. citizens is completely wrong.
    Coupe Deval needs to pick up a dictionary and look up the definition of “illegal”. Merriam Webster online:not according to or authorized by law….
