She did it. Amazing!

The importance of tonight's win can not be overstated. It was a revolt of women sick and tired of the likes of Chris Tweety Matthews and the Media Misogynists.

Barack Obama did not lose New Hampshire. The Media did. Their misogynist hatred of Hillary Clinton was soundly rejected by the voters. Especially the women voters of New Hampshire.

How the Media will react to this well deserved rebuke is the question. And let's be clear, Chris Matthews should be removed from covering this race. His offensive behavior is a disgrace to NBC.

    Heh

    Seriously, though, good for (especially) the women of NH to extend their collective middle finger to the media, pundits and Common Wisdom.

    I keep telling you that. You keep assuming if you don't explicitly support Obama you are a HRC supporter.

    And I was quite gracious when Obama won Iowa.

    As an aside, I must say, I am quite pleased with all of my Democratic choices. It is going to be tough to decide.

    Serves Edwards right for sucking up to Obama in Iowa. Now that the intelligent women of New Hampshire have spoken, as opposed to the dim bulb, fundamentalist, man-kowtowing women of Iowa.

    I've been sick of hill and bill since they lost health care in '93, BUT

    her treatment by the press has sucked - it has only 'made sense' from the perspective that our national media suck and should ALL have ALL their public privelages removed.

    this claim of yours - ya got numbers, cuz

    I'D LOVE IT IF IT WERE TRUE!

    My aunt thinks she failed enlightening me when I was 8 in '68, BUT

    I would really love it if enought women got peee'd off enough to stick it to those media mysonginists. (sp)

    Their misogynist hatred of Hillary Clinton was soundly rejected by the voters. Especially the women voters of New Hampshire.

    but i have to ask: where were all these upset women, for the past 15 years or so, while the media has been trashing sen. clinton? what, did they just wake up this week and notice it?

    chris matthews has been doing his "hillary clinton" schtick for years, don't they get cable tv up there?

    i don't see this as necessarily the beginning of a backlash against the mysogonist media, just a bump in the road. i sincerely hope i'm wrong.

    If I were a betting man, I would have wagered that Sen. Clinton had come to the end of her campaign road.  I saw on FitToBePres that her biggest weakness was her inability to connect to Americans and wasn't sure how her recent display of emotion would effect her numbers last night, but it would seem that people appreciated seeing her more personal, human side.  Certainly going to make the race more interesting with her back in the thick of it all.

    becuase Clinton could cite SPECIFICS of change she has made vs the insipid Obama "I inspire people".

    That is why Obama LOST.

    I like you Big Tent - but your post is more about your feeling for the media (which I share) thann about what really happened.  Annd you are giving the Obama people just the excuse they need not to make any demands for specifics form their candidate.

    by seven points.

    She lost the handcounted ballots.

    The handcounted results matched the preelection polls and the exit polling.

    Before we write why something happened it would be wise to see if it happened. How about some human eyes look at all the ballots?

    Just saying.
