My theories as to why HRC won in New Hampshire [View All]

[AnnieBW]

Okay, I'm not a political consultant, or have any on-the-ground knowledge of any campaign. Just my non-tinfoily take on things. For the record, since Bill Richardson is dropping out, I'm back to being undecided.

1) Hillary is from the Northeast, or at least lives there now. Obama is from the Midwest. It's probably a regional thing.

2) Independents and moderate Reps - who are scared sh*tless about Huckabible - came out for McCain, and did not cross over to vote for Obama like they did in Iowa.

3) The hostage incident in HRC's campaign office, which was handled very gracefully by Hillary and her staff. People remember that kind of thing.

4) The "Iron My Shirts" incident. That was an insult to every working woman, not just Hillary. It pissed off the women voters.

5) The incident with Jeanne Shaheen's husband. That may have left a bad taste in people's mouths about Obama.

6) Possibly less young people in NH than in Iowa.

Like I said, these are just my wild guesses. Either way, I'd be happy to vote for either HRC or Obama in the GE.
