New Hampshire Democratic Primary Analysis

After the vote in the New Hampshire Democratic primary election, Hillary Clinton came in ahead of Barack Obama by a slim margin of 3%, at least if the numbers from the Associated press are to be agreed with.

John Edwards came in third which most likely is where he will stay throughout the rest of the primaries. He and Barack will be on the hunt so to speak for material to further deface Hillary, though she really does not have that much trouble there as her attitude is not an attribute to be admired, especially for someone running for the presidency, though that is only my thought on it.

When people bring up likability issues they usually are not referring to HIllary as much of what is seen just does not present her very positively. Barack Obama on the other side of the table is likable and affable, and does not come off as cold hearted, even though people may not care much for some of his ideas, except for the fact that he says he represents change, any change will be positive in Washington D.C. and even the United States as a whole, we need to recognize what change will be for the better, not just what is change meaning a different definition of the same old status quo.

It is interesting that Hillary did pick up a majority over Barack when perhaps it came from the fact that more women showed up for the primaries in New Hampshire. It may also have something to do with the fact that Hillary seemed to be human when she teared up at one of the questions at a press conference before the voting and some people were sympathetic to her plight. Perhaps they were mistaken as to what the tears truly represented though, as it may have been she was just feeling sorry for herself because she lost Iowa to Obama. I would venture that is more to the point, yet we all have our opinions.

It is still to early to tell where she is going to come up in the rest of the country, as New England in general is what we could call very liberal, to say the least. That is not all a negative association to them though. In some ways liberal is positive, we just need to be aware of the pitfalls and actual holes in believing everything is alright without any forethought of what if.
