So what happened to the DU predicted Clinton-era ending Obama Landslide?
Where did all the ObamaNationals go? Have they thrown their computers out the window?

15. No, in order for that to happen, the media would have to hate her
Like they did Dean. The corporate media loves Hillary. While I didn't think the crying thing was all that big of a deal one way or the other, it made me physically sick the way that Chuckie Gibson and George Snuffleuppagus were desperately spinning the incident into a positive last night.

7. i saw on one of the sunday pundit shows
i don't remember which one or who said this but it was to the effect that obama was the favorite of the young voters.....the problem with that is that young voters are notoriously unreliable.

12. Wasn't interested in the McClurkin era starting personally
Glad it's going down in flames, with a little luck.

14. i don`t recall anyone saying it was going to be a landslide
and if they did they are really naive when it comes to the primary's. the msm got what they wanted-a hillary and obama race to the finish....

22. folks were wrong
just like the predictions of Clinton or Edwards winning in Iowa, people including myself got it wrong in NH.

Between early mail-in ballots for Clinton and the FU vote against the media's narrative and the fact that Clinton is a good candidate, the results are surprising but understandable.

Now on the Nevada (Michigan just doesn't count) where Richardson pulls out all the stops and confounds the pundits and pollsters with a 40 point win!!! (wouldn't that be cool?)
