Hillary Clinton Wins New Hampshire. Barack Obama Places a Close Second.

(UPDATE: In a boost to his campaign, Obama won the important Culinary Workers Union endorsement in Nevada which happens to be the largest, most organized union in the state that boasts 60,000 members. That being said, endorsements don't always mean a victory. However, it does help as they provide an infusion of support to the campaign and well organized, experienced ground troops to help get out the vote).

Now onto my original post form this morning about last night's results:

Well, I clearly got ahead of myself. It's just that the polls showed Obama so far ahead!! Not many expected a Clinton victory, even the Clintonites themselves. They were saying throughout the day that they were just hoping to lose by only 5 points for so.

I learned not to underestimate the Clintons nor trust polls that much last night. I tip my hat off to Hillary. She pulled it out. It was close though. I was guilty of getting caught up in the emotion of the Obama win coming out of Iowa. I guess we have a race on our hands. This should be fun to watch.

I will say that I liked Obama's speech more though. I think Obama has a leg up on Hillary when it comes to speaking. I just believe him more. Speaking of his speech, I posted the video at the bottom of this post, its in two parts. However, I must tip my hat to the Clinton campaign. They pulled out the victory and I congratulate her on a well run campaign in the granite state.

This will be a race for the ages I think from here on out.

In other Obama news, the influential SEIU union (Service Employees International Union) in Nevada endorsed Obama for president. I hope this will help propel him to victory in the silver state.
