Hillary Lazarus Clinton. Extraordinary. “I listened to you and found my own voice.” She was terrific tonight. She came across as a woman deeply at peace – a woman who had come to terms with her own mortality only to discover that she was very, very alive. There is a very simple truth – no…

It is impossible to look at Sen. Obama’s eyes during his concession speech and not see the crushing pain of his defeat. He believed he was on his way to crushing Sen. Clinton – to rolling to the Democratic nomination… to leading a movement. Not so fast. But that is good. Tonight is good for…

McCain’s victory speech is marvelous – humble, resolute, noble. His every word is a jab at Sir Mitt because McCain is a man who was willing to give up his personal presidential ambitions to do what he thought was right with the surge and with a centrist solution to the problem of illegal immigration.

Romney and Huckabee both sounded great in their concession speeches. Romney sounded downright populist in talking about the need for the problems of the middle class to be addressed and he positioned himself as a Washington outsider with a track record of producing change. He sounded good. He’s not out. Huckabee sounded like the guy…

It now seems pretty clear that virtually all of the late polling on the Democratic side was wrong… very wrong. The last Rasmussen Report had Obama +7 over Clinton. CBS had him +7. USA Today had Obama +13 and CNN +10. With more than 25% of New Hampshire now reporting Obama is -5. 80% of…

McCain wins New Hampshire. Brokered convention anyone? This is amazing stuff. But perhaps it isn’t surprising. McCain is being rewarded for being true to his word – he didn’t back off his idea for the surge in Iraq, he didn’t back off an illegal immigration package that would allow “illegal Americans” to become “legal Americans.”…

The early, early returns show that Clinton is leading Obama. Based on all of the polls showing him ahead and the excitement of the turnout, I’m a little surprised. Again, it is very, very early. Here is my question – will this be the first time that race has shown up? Did people in New…

TPM wants to know what’s up with Huck’s use of the word “vertical”. Can anyone explain what the hell that means? Vertical? I guess if you’re main opponent was Fred Thompson you might push the fact that you spend most of your time standing up. But seriously, is there something I’m missing here? Or is…

Barack Obama wins with a double-digit margin. Iowa proved the passion is real and that the passion is translating into actual votes. Clinton beats Edwards by less than 5 points leading to speculation that perhaps the real race will be an Obama/Edwards race. McCain beats Romney by 5 points. Huckabee finishes 3rd.

Quick thoughts on the Fox debate: – Huckabee didn’t give anyone confidence that he could be commander-in-chief. In past debates he has been funny and commanding but tonight he was just out classed. – McCain wasn’t terribly impressive either. He seemed tired and a bit fragile. – Rudy has got to step up his game…
