Clinton, McCain & New Hampshire

Clinton and McCain the comeback kids — CNN​.com

Wow. After all the talk, to see both of these candidates take New Hampshire is pretty amazing. I think a lot of people had written Hillary off after Iowa, which didn’t seem that big a surprise to me given conservatives hatred of the Clintons.

This is shaping up to be one of the most interesting presidential elections of my adult life. With an woman and African American running, both who have a chance to be the next president, it’s about time the U.S. got over itself.

    This has by far been the most exciting election I’ve witnessed. Granted, since I’m Norwegian and sometimes a bit absent-minded, I haven’t always been that attentive of the primary elections in the US of A, but now I feel like popping some popcorn and cheer loudly for the good guys :)

    @blurb: Sorry to respond so late. Re: your question: not Bush, that’s for damn sure. Was forced to go with the lesser of two evils.

    I was about to write a long diatribe about what’s wrong with the system, but we’ll be here for hours… In short, the system is f’ed, and politicians can’t be trusted. My personal solution is to try to have the right kind of interactions in my corner of the Earth and hope it affects change in people. In the meantime, I, with my Libertarian ideals, will insist on keeping my arsenal in the event that I might need to protect myself from ever-encroaching dregs of society, the government itself, and/or a zombie invasion, and keeping “the man” out of my business.

    i am VERY excited to vote in this election. watching Obama’s victory speech in Iowa gave me goosebumps..it was that good and awe-inspiring. I couldn’t even watch the results from NH…it was too stressful.
