32. You know what, this wasn't an election. This was a primary.

and the real value of NH is not the votes, it's the press buzz and momentum that emerges from it.

That is still Obama's to control.

The Clinton camp did not rig the machines and the only other vested party would be the Republicans and they would lose a lot more than they would gain if they rigged the machines for this match if it were ever found out.

There's just no credible motive, only the means. However, there's also no eye witness or a smoking gun.

The most important thing to do with lemons is to make lemonaid. Clinton won because of the women vote, and short of a sex change operation, Obama needs to pay very close attention to hte interests of women if he is to succeed. He competes and exceeds in nearly all other demographics.

There's a lot of things the Obama camp can do right now. Whining about NH will not help, it would only hurt.

This is truly, truly a case of "let's move on".
