Obama -- 104,757

Not much of a margin there.

As everyone who was watching CNN and MSNBC yesterday could see, the pundits and journalists were going on and on about how if Obama walked away with New Hampshire easily it was all going to be over, and they were pushing the same thing over at Daily Kos.

 The mainstream media was pushing the sympathy buttons all day for Hillary, replaying her teary-eyed concerns over and over, minus the jabs she took at Obama of course, because they all realize that if Obama had taken New Hampshire, tens of thousands of journalists on the campaign trail would quickly find themselves out of work, and the networks would watch as their viewership plummets off the rating scales because no one would be interested in watching if it's already decided.  So what we have here is a case of motivated self-interest by the media to keep this race alive.

There are a lot of journalists out there who are staying a nice hotels and eating much better than they are used to, and that will now continue as long as they can prop up Clinton, and play upon the sympathy of women to keep her in the race.  I wonder how long this tactic will work?  :-)

Obama continues to be the choice of young people .

In the two largest college towns in New Hampshire, Obama still won easily.  This is where his base of support is strongest, with new voters.

Can Hillary Cry Her Way Back to the White House? -- New York Times op-ed

The Obama campaign calculated that they had the women's vote over the weekend but watched it slip away in the track of her tears.

At the Portsmouth cafe on Monday, talking to a group of mostly women, she blinked back her misty dread of where Obama's "false hopes" will lead us -- "I just don't want to see us fall backwards," she said tremulously -- in time to smack her rival: "But some of us are right and some of us are wrong. Some of us are ready and some of us are not."

There was a poignancy about the moment, seeing Hillary crack with exhaustion from decades of yearning to be the principal rather than the plus-one. But there was a whiff of Nixonian self-pity about her choking up. What was moving her so deeply was her recognition that the country was failing to grasp how much it needs her. In a weirdly narcissistic way, she was crying for us. But it was grimly typical of her that what finally made her break down was the prospect of losing.
