NewslettersLive from New Hampshire, it's Political Pulse
OK, so I'm early, but the last polls close in 11 minutes, and it's time to get this show on the road.
Here's what have I've learned so far tonight?
• McCain is wearing the same sweater that we wore and staying at the same hotel (even in the same room) he stayed in back when he won New Hampshire in 2000. You think he's wearing the same underwear?
• I've decided that when I hear Barack Obama's name said often enough it starts to sound like a European ice cream or a Greek pastry. Can't you imagine Candy Crowley saying: "I can't believe I ate all of that Barack Obama."
• Apparently pollsters now ask if you're "angry" with the president. Seriously! Two-thirds of people who took the exit poll in New Hampshire said they're "angry" with the president. I wonder if the pollsters also ask the person being polled if you "like me" or if you "like me like me."

Wolf says some polling locations were reporting being short on ballots. What is this, Beaufort County?
A back and forth from earlier:
Wolf: Candy, what's the feeling from the Clinton campaign.
Candy Crowley: In a word, Wolf, she doesn't expect to win.
Uh, what? That was like five words, Candy.
Must have been all of that Barack Obama she ate.
With 10 percent in:
Clinton and Obama are neck and neck.
McCain is up on Romney by double digits.
And New Hampshire residents prefer being called New Hampshireites to New Hampshiretonians by more than 2 to 1.
And CNN is predicting John Edwards will come in third place.
Is Wolf Blitzer god? I don't mean the god, but maybe a god.
I'm just saying, how does he do this?
Conceding that McCain will beat him in New Hampshire, Gov. Mitt Romney said he'll take a page from the president's play book when it comes to South Carolina.
"I'm going to spread rumors that McCain has an illegitimate child," Romney told the press. "I mean hey, if it worked once...."
Fox News apologizes and says it will send O'Reilly back to Entertainment Tonight or whatever entertainment show he started on.
No surprise, Fox has just declared McCain the winner.
And calls New Hampshire for McCain.
If New Hampshire were a country, McCain would be czar.
Take a shot every time someone says pundit.
This is supposed to be funny? Don't forget, as latest posts won't let you, this is the "Bible Belt."
he didn't say shot of alcohol... perhaps he meant a shot of ovaltine? Or perhaps Nyquil to make the pundits go away? I wonder what would be more acceptable to bible belters...
CNN is prepared to project that Geritol will sponsor McCain's celebration tonight.
Do you just like seeing your mug each time you make a comment?
Dodd has 35 votes! What rock were those people under and why did Mike Gravel throw it in a lake.
Sure, why not, I'm pleasant looking enough.
OK, back to the business at hand, we've got Mitt with a 9 point defeat, that's almost a point for every million he spent in New Hampshire.
And it looks like Hillary might pull off a tight win.
Say what you will about Mitt, I think he's got the best hair in the biz. That's gotta be worth a cabinet post.
Oh, Ian, I completely disagree. My man Edwards has fantastic hair. And sure sure, he paid money for it, but they all do. At least his is actually worth the money.
wow, rereading my post, I think I'm gonna get my socialist membership card revoked...
Okay, maybe Romney being wrong is not a big shock but how about my jinx taking down JFK the sequel? LOL
Wow, 8 years is a long time to keep a sweater, I must say.
I would like to congratulate McCain on the win. He deserved it and hats off to him.
I would really like to see Hillary come back and win this, just to get her name in a big buzz in the media like Obama's, and see what he has to say about that.
Hey, not if it's in good shape. I still have clothes from college that are in good condition.
with the big white sign or water bottle in the middle of the audience for the candidates' speeches?
So far tonight Huckabee has been blocked by a huge white sign and McCain has some nitwit waving a pickle jar in front of his face.
Huckabee was also blocked by someone with a big old-fashioned camcorder.
Some people think only of themselves.
that would have been more embarrassing than Giuliani dropping down to fifth after Ron Paul.
Here's what I got:
• McCain's teeth falling out during his victory speech
• The black shoe polish that Mitt uses to shine his hair falling out his pocket during his speech
• The spaceship that looks like hair that landed on Edwards' head taking off during his speech
• Teddy predicting Obama/Romney victories tonight. Wait, that one happened.
behind John Edwards during his speech tonight?
And did I see David Beasley next to Huckabee earlier?
I think that's all from me tonight.
Have fun watching the rest of these returns come in.
Best,
Ian
Yes, I didn't recognize him but CNN or Fox identified him.
