January 8
As I write this, the polls are about 45 minutes from closing in New Hampshire. And to judge by the histrionics in the Clinton camp, the Senator from New York doesn't expect the tally to be favorable. First, after Iowa, as I predicted, she went negative on Obama, or tried to. Then she tried to retool her message from experience to change (which is Obama's). And finally, she came close to breaking down in tears. Not to mention her husband going off on the media today about not being tough enough on Obama. And just a few minutes ago, the wires reported that big shake-ups are coming in the Clinton camp...and that they might actually skip the next two primaries and concentrate on Super Tuesday. Wow...I confess I didn't see this kind of meltdown happening. I thought she would be steady as she goes, but apparently Iowa really rattled her. I'm sure she's praying the vote tonight will at least be close. If it's not, it may be difficult for her just to get to Super Tuesday.
