Coming Down To The Wire

Damn, this race continues to surprise me. I would never have thought that Clinton would have held a lead let alone a prayer tonight in New Hampshire. Many people thought that Independents would come out enforce for Obama and route Hillary, which in the semi-open primary state, subsequently draw from McCain making him vulnerable to the likes of Mitt Romney.

Well that didn't happen. McCain crushed Romney (by seven points as of now) but Democrats are still drawing much larger numbers, by around 25 percent. Also by the link above, we can see a tightening of the race between Hillary and Obama. She was up by as many as six points, but as the results from the larger cities like Manchester come in, Obama is inching closer and is within four points (or 4000 votes).

A friend of mine who happens to be a BHO supporter asked me for words of wisdom while he waits until the full count is in. Well I'll tell him and myself to sit tight, because you never know what can happen until an election is officially declared over.
