I'd like to thank Chris Matthews for totally fucking up this primary.
We will never know if it was Hillary's win, or did the people of New Hampshire vote for Hillary just to spite Tweety and the others piling on Her. Obama would be justified if he kicked Matthews fat ass. Those assholes were writing her obit the past few days. I would have voted for her just to prove them wrong.

1. People around here need to figure out that he's not the center of the universe
The vast majority of people have probably don't know who he is, but for some reason the blogosphere has some weird fetish about him I can't understand.

2. You're giving Tweety way too much credit.
Not that many people really watch him.

3. Gee, Obama supporters had no problem with the media...
writing Hillary's political Obit, now that she won a primary, you now hate all of that positive press Obama got and the Hillary bashing.

Obama won Iowa, and Hillary won New Hampshire because the voters chose them.

6. I'm militantly undecided. I was tuned off by the feeding frenzy, the
manufactured conflict, and the wishful thinking by Tweety and others.

I just used him because it was a good hook.

He's irrelevant.

9. Rachel Maddow - I believe- sincerely faulted him to his face.
I had someone in the room talking loudly, and only got the gist of it. Did anyone hear it?
Rachel is such an asset in between the loudmouths.

11. If you think that little of the electorate, you ought to just oppose democracy.
You clearly think so little of it.

13. don't ascribe that kind of influence to Tweety please, so many people have no
idea who he is. His books sales are indicative of his popularity in the real world.

15. He is just a symbol of what is wrong with our media. I'm glad Hillary
got her revenge.

Both her and Obama deserved to win. They played it well.

16. A .05% swing at most
But yes, I think some people voted for Hillary to shove it in the press' face. Hell, I probably would have if I lived in NH.

18. Same here. I was neutrual, but starting to swing toward Obama, but
the constant unfair coverage by Matthews and others made me come to her side.
