I think Hillary won New Hampshire because voters resented Obama's coronation.

Also: you may be moved to transcendent inspiration and hope listening to Obama's rhetoric, but MANY, MANY of us hear nothing more than beautifully articulated platitudes. As an underdog (Iowa) maybe it boosts him over the sour, dour front-runner; but as the front-runner, it comes off as disingenuous.

Pity me. I'm with Fred.

Now Obama has his real adversity moment. And we'll see whether he rises to this challenge. This is what campaigns are supposed to do. They are making them both better candidates.
