Hillary won in New Hampshire

Praise be.



Please chop.

Also

I found it pretty surprising.

What do you think about the idea that we've just seen an instance of the Bradley Effect?

Oh how glad I am that you asked, because this seriously made me lol earlier today.

The Tom Bradley Effect, or Explaining Obama's Huge, Throbbing Gap Lee Stranahan | Bio Why was there such a big difference between Barack Obama's New Hampshire pre-election poll numbers and the actual vote? Some suggest it was 'The Tom Bradley Effect' --and since some suggest it, now every news talker on the TV is throwing around the phrase 'Tom Bradley Effect.' So it's a good idea for you to be able to use it properly in conversation so you can sound as smart as the people on the TV. Wikipedia defines the 'Tom Bradley Effect' as "a phenomenon which has led to inaccurate voter opinion polls in some American political campaigns between a white candidate and a non-white candidate. Specifically, there have been instances in which statistically significant numbers of white voters tell pollsters in advance of an election that they are likely to vote for the non-white candidate, but those voters exhibit a different behavior when actually casting their ballots." This is potentially important and interesting, but not as much fun as going over to Wikipedia and changing the definition of the 'Tom Bradley Effect' to "a phenomenon which leads to an airline terminal being named after you," or just making up your own joke. Try it, you'll see! Why would New Hampshire voters tell phone pollsters they were going to vote for Obama? One explanation is obvious. Everyone knows that pollsters typically employ intimidating sounding men with deep voices and who often start calls by asking, "Are you the chief whitey all up in your hizzy?" Perhaps the problem was that the pollsters framed the question about Obama thusly: "You ARE voting for Barack Obama, right?" and would often repeat the question over and over with increasing emphasis on the word "ARE" until they got the answer "yes, sir." What not many know, however, is that 95% of these intimidating deep-voiced men who make pollster phone calls are actually 22-year-old women from Bangalore who learned to speak English by watching Ice-T on Law & Order: SVU. The other 3% of the callers are actually Ice-T himself, and the other 2% are the dude who asked Pinto and Flounder if he could dance with their dates in the road trip sequence of Animal House. Another possible explanation is the difference between the voting process in Iowa and New Hampshire. Voting for a Democratic candidate in the Iowa primaries is done in a caucus--ironically, a process that has a lot in common with the way Republican politicians like their religion. It's done in a very public, overly complex process that none of the participants seem to fully understand, but that lets everyone know where you stand politically. Voting for a candidate in the New Hampshire primaries is done by ballot--ironically, a process that has a lot in common with the way Republican politicians like their sex. It's done secretly, in a booth, where your neighbors might be creeped out if they knew who you were really punching a hole in. I think you've learned enough for now.

But seriously, somebody should chop Hillary as a dj or something.

I felt it in my butt.

Yikes - that's a bit of a loaded question.

Simply put, I'd like it if Obama got the democrat nod because at least I wouldn't feel bad about casting a ballot for the dems - though the candidate whose values were probably Mike Gravel.

I will not vote for Hilary Clinton.

Either way, I'm pretty fed up with American politics in general, and I am already frustrated to no end with this election year (and it's only January 9th).

I'm wondering if ol' Ron Paul is going to run as an independent after he fails to get the Repub nomination. That would really mix things up.

Gravel? Yeeeeesh. He seemed incredibly out of touch with society during the debates.

Hey, I don't care for Paul, but I don't think you can deny the impact an independent run by him would have on the dynamics of the general election.

I don't think he'd do any better than Nader did in '00, though you can argue that made a pretty big impact I guess.

But if Bloomberg actually declares as a Unity '08 independent... that might get very interesting.

someone chop a dj deck in front of her

Exactly. Barring a Repub nomination of McCain, I'm predicting a Democratic win this time around. Paul entering the race could change that.

Naw, I still think he hurts the Republicans more than the Dems. Libertarians are still under the impression that all Democrats are socialists.

I hope that Huckabee wins the Repub nomination so that it's just a massacre.

Yeah, America isn't so fond of the racist, bigoted hypocrites anymore. No matter how often they drop the word "Constitution."
