As of 3 minutes ago, it looks like Hillary pulled ahead in the New Hampshire primary: 40 to Obama's 36. Thus ends a brief, shining moment - beginning last Thursday night - when it appeared for a little while that somebody other than Clinton was going to be the Democratic nominee.
But I think that's over; I think she'll go on now to sweep "Super Duper Tuesday" on February 5.
Oh, wait - I thought I wasn't posting to this blog anymore. Damn!

Naw, the nomination is still open.
There's a long way to go yet.
Well, at least she won New Hampshire tonight. That hadn't quite happened when I threw up this post. Whew!
Funny how making predictions commits you to them psychologically, whether the outcome's one you want or not.
So now now I'm stuck rooting for Hillary straight through February 5.... I'd been thinking I would vote for Edwards, but now that's out the window.
Yes, that's it. Because you made that prediction, you are locked into rooting for Clinton forever.
On the plus side, it'll save you from having to waver between the three depending on who last made an astute or inane remark.
Hey, I am happy -- I like that post...see, you just couldn't not do it -- very good!!
You really think she'll go on to sweep everything now? Hmmm...if she were the nominee, do you think that Obama or Edwards might be a VP choice; if asked, do you think that either would say 'yes'...
Yes: the important thing is to be right at all costs.
...On this assumption that Hillary does win the nomination - no, I'm sure she wouldn't be picking either Obama or Edwards as a running mate. There's some bad blood there, and in the case of Obama there's the distinct risk of being constantly upstaged.
Everybody had figured Richardson was angling for a running-mate nod by being overtly solicitous toward her in the early debates (as I recall, in the July 23 CNN/YouTube debate he began shouting "Pick me! Pick me!"). But then there was this back-room support-sharing scheme he struck with Obama in the Iowa caucuses, or blah-blah-blah...?
Anyway. I figure some sort of focus-grouped red-stater with executive experience... yet not-too-high a profile... would seem quite likely. An Evan Bayh type, let us say.
