Well, for the next few days, it will be "Hillary Clinton Unplugged." She cannot lose the New Hampshire Primary now that my junior senator, Barack Obama, has bested her in Iowa.
On the Republican end, with Mike Huckabee's win, the only real loser is Mitt Romney, who spent a lot of time--and a lot of money--in the Hawkeye State. Romney needs a Granite State win too.
Of course the nation's gaze will fall on tonight's winners.
Here are some key Barack Obama posts from one of his constituents:
Union president spanks Obama

UPDATE January 9: Although the post is from last month, it is worth visiting. Dr. X adds his take on the not-so-clean Senator Obama.
He adds this nugget about Obama's wife, which I've only touched on briefly in earlier posts:
Besides the Rezko deal, there are Obama's ethically questionable investments and Michelle Obama's mind-blowing, overnight pay raise from $121,000/year to $316,000/year right after her husband was elected to the U.S. Senate. Her bosses (My note, at the University of Chicago Hospitals) said she deserved it. I guess they didn't notice that she deserved it until her husband became a U.S. Senator. It's not that anyone has suggested that accepting the raise violated the law, but it isn't exactly a sign of good ethical hygiene, either.
