GodTube presidential poll

Guess who's winning? Huckabee of course, is there any Christian candidate? Though, Obama and Thompson are tied for second :-) Ron Paul only has 6.5%, I guess the Paulians haven't discovered it yet.

Move by Michigan Democrats to vote for Huckabee in Republican primary

There's a push by the Democrats, who are limited to Hillary, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel in their primary, to mess with the Republican nomination by voting for Huckabee. This is the same group of Democrats who voted for McCain to upset Gov. Engler who was a Bush supporter:

Lemmons said Tuesday that the push for Republican Mike Huckabee was prompted by the dearth of choices on the Democratic side of the Jan. 15 primary ballot. Lemmons said he himself supports Barack Obama, who chose not to run in Michigan.

And he said Democrats supporting candidates other than those on the Michigan ballot can vote uncommitted. But he likes the idea of recapturing the spirit of 2000, when DOG was formed to torment former Gov. Engler, a staunch backer of George W. Bush.

Huckabee got the nod this time because "the Republican establishment supports Romney and McCain," Lemmons said.

And here's something weird, about 15% of Republicans requested a Democrat absentee ballot:

Grebner said it seems some known Republican voters -- perhaps 15% -- plan to vote Democratic, based on a sampling of 120,000 requests for absentee ballots (out of 220,000) around the state.

Do they intend to bump up Kucinich or embarrass Hillary with a noncommitted vote?

I'm buying his crying more than her crying :-)

So, I guess everyone can drop their change theme now?

You couldn't have more of a status quo vote than McCain and Clinton.

Clinton wins!!!!

According to AP. So much for Obamania!

Maybe Obama should cry :-)

McCain wins

What the heck is wrong with these people? They love McCain for some weird reason. I guess they didn't really care about illegal immigration either.

And it's looking like it wasn't an Obama blowout (hehehehe). Yeah! So, he isn't our political savior after all?

Record turnout in NH

But it's not all Obamania(sorry lefties!)

Secretary of State William Gardner has predicted 260,000 Granite Staters will vote in the Democratic primary and 240,000 will vote in the Republican primary. He predicted that 150,000 undeclared voters will cast votes - 90,000 in the Democratic primary and 60,000 in the Republican primary.

I'm feeling a little bit better now and thinking about canceling my plans for a bunker :-)

The Democrats ran out of ballots

Obamania! So, tell me how we win in November against this? From Drudge:

Secretary of State is making runs to Seacoast – Hampton, Portsmouth – and Southern Hillsborough – Pelham, Nashua – to bring extra democratic ballots. Many towns are reporting shortages... Developing...

Obama wins big in Dixville Notch and Hart

She didn't even get any votes in Dixville Notch:

In Hart's Location, Obama received 9 votes, Hillary Rodham Clinton 3 and John Edwards 1. On the Republican side, McCain received 6 votes, Mike Huckabee 5, Ron Paul 4 and Mitt Romney 1.

In Dixville Notch, Obama got 7 votes, Edwards 2 and Bill Richardson 1. Among Republicans, McCain got 4 votes, Romney 2 and Rudy Giuliani 1.

Bill Clinton to Ron Paul Supporters: "You're Nuts!"

Good for Bill Clinton letting these people know they aren't playing with a full deck.

"You wanna know what I think?” Clinton said. “You guys who think 9/11 was an inside job are crazy as hell. My wife was the senator from New York when that happened. I was down at Ground Zero. I saw the victims' families. You're nuts."

Hillary Clinton Crying

Does anyone buy this? After the reports that she's too cold and standoffish, isn't a little suspicious that she cries during a campaign stop? The question she was asked was about her hair. Very suspicious timing. I think she's playing for sympathy (and I do feel a little sorry for her -- she sounded so pathetic).

Video here.

Update: Here's the video:

She really does come softer and more human. Pretty brilliant performance.

Dave Barry's take on the ABC News debate

Don't think that Gibson would make a good president but I do agree with him that the candidates were pretty testy:

But those who watched the debates saw history in the making, as it became clear, over the course of the evening, that one person, and one person only, embodies the wisdom, the judgment, the maturity and -- yes -- the simple humanity that this nation desperately needs in its next president: Charlie Gibson.

Unfortunately he can't afford the pay cut. This means we're stuck with the actual candidates, who, as I say, are in a testy mood, as was evidenced in the Republican debate when John McCain and Mike Huckabee, during a particularly testy exchange over illegal immigration, gave Mitt Romney a wedgie. The Democrats, meanwhile, continued their ongoing obsessive argument about change -- who is the most for change; who has done the most changing; who can change with the changing times to bring change to those who need a change; who has taken the time, with all this tromping around New Hampshire night and day demanding change, to change their underwear; etc.

BTW, go check out Dennis Kucinich leer.

Dave Barry Reporting From NH: Huckabutt and the Democrat Dinner

If we didn't have Dave Barry reporting on this race, we would be missing insights into the campaign like these. He goes where the MSM refuses to go:

Speaking of warming, the crowd was warmed up by a blues-rock band called Mama Kicks, and when Huckabee surged into the gym he picked up a bass and joined in playing In The Midnight Hour.'' It was a little rough at the start, and Huckabee turned around and bent over to fiddle with the amplifier, so for a few seconds the crowd was basically looking directly at the Huckabutt, which is a view you rarely get of a leading presidential contender, fortunately. But then the band got it together and did decent versions of Twist and Shout and Mustang Sally, rocking the house New-Hampshire style, with people keeping time by rhythmically thrusting signs that said ''HUCKABEE'' and ''MAKE GLOBAL WARMING A PRIORITY'' into the air.

Then Huckabee introduced Chuck Norris, who broke an IRS agent in half with his forehead. No, I'm kidding, although that would have gone over well. Chuck did say he was unhappy with the IRS, as well as the status quo in general. He is for education. Then Huckabee got up and said he was also against the IRS, and in favor of freedom. The crowd was polite, but I think they were more fired up when he was playing bass.

After that I drove through 293 million cubic miles of picturesque snow to Milford, N.H., where 3,000 Democrats had gathered for a big dinner in the New Hampshire Dome, a big inflatable structure with a plastic roof held up by the air emitted by a guy on the podium introducing every New Hampshire Democrat, living or dead, in the history of the world.

[...]

Until you have heard major Democratic contenders, you do not realize how many times it is possible to use the word ''change'' in a single speech. They're in a big fight over who will be the best changer. At one point, Clinton, sounding like a veteran toll-booth attendant, said, ``I've been making change for 35 years.''

Frank Luntz's focus group does not have good news for Hillary

Oh boy! This does not bode well for Tuesday:

Hillary at the Democrat debate: "I'm running on 35 years of change"

I don't think she sounds as shrill as others think she did. She did sound angry but not over the top (she didn't sound like she was ready to fling an ash tray at Obama :-).

Why couldn't our people get the nuke question?

I'm listening to the Democrat debate and what the heck is it that we get the healthcare question and they get the nuke question???

Update: Oh good! They're asking about entitlements.
