Why The NH Result Is Good For Dem Values
Adam Nagourney, of all people, explains:
Political theatrics aside, there were lessons from her victory on Tuesday that could prove instructive as Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama head into this new phase of the campaign, with 25 states voting in the next four weeks. (John Edwards, who finished a distant third in New Hampshire after a second-place finish in Iowa, pledged to push on though he trailed far behind them.) Mrs. Clinton solidified her position with Democrats, while Mr. Obama enjoyed, as he did in Iowa, support from independent voters. But many of the states where the Democrats are now heading allow only Democrats to vote in their party’s primary.
By stopping the Obama Unity train in New Hampshire, the results tonight will force all of our candidates to appeal to Dems and Dem values. Obama will have to do what he should have already, become a Fighting Dem. Hillary started already. Obama is sure to follow.
This is good for the Democratic Party and for Democratic values.
