New Hampshire verdict: Hillary exults; Update: The many voices of Hillary Rodham Clinton
Update 10:56am. The day after…Let the sniping begin.
Update 12:00am. Blecchhh. Here’s the video clip of her self-congratulatory, voice-discovering moment.
Which gives me a good opportunity to remind you of the many voices of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Like her fake Selma voice. And her Al Sharpton’s best friend voice. And her Bug Off, Code Pink! voice. And her chumming it up with Peter Paul voice. And her hearty, cackling voice. Oh, and her botched, open-borders voice.
She’s her own self-generating cacophony. What other voices are in there?
***
“I found my own voice. I felt like we spoke from our own hearts…Now, let’s give America the kind of comeback that New Hampshire has just given me.” Crowd erupting. Waving American flags. Right-side up. Unlike her Iowa stage, tonight Hillary is surrounded by young people, not old fogies.
No Che shirt sightings yet.
“Politics isn’t a game. It’s about people…We are facing a moment of so many big challenges…”
Subprime crisis gets first mention (don’t worry, Hill. W. has it covered). Next: Corporate-bashing of “oil companies, drug companies, student loan companies, and predatory lending companies.”
“We are in it for the long ride…We are in it for the American people.”
Except the ones who work for the oil companies, drug companies, student loan companies, and predatory lending companies, of course.
She’s talking about the “privileged few.”
Wait a minute: She hasn’t said “change” yet!
“Tomorrow, we are going to get up, roll our sleeves, and keep going.”
Plugs the website: HillaryClinton.com.
“You want this campaign to be about you, because there is so much at stake for our country.”
Whatever that means.
“I want to say how much I respect the other Democratic candidates.”
Uh-huh. Tell us another fairy tale, Hill.

No, more like…I found votes where I needed them. A couple of times over.
Vote early. Vote often.
That line gave me chills and not in a good way.
They’re going to find Mark Penn’s body underneath an ice fishing shack on Lake Winnipesaukee.
Looking forward to a long nasty fight for the Dem nomination.
shoot me now.
OK, I had put away my Cayman Island real estate books…time to bring them out again.
Oh, puke… She just found her voice? That’s crap…
Ugh. Listening to her now. I can’t stand that voice. Just wondering how many people she had to bus in for this speech?
Agents for Change: Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Talk about a hopeless feeling.
The smugness meter has officially broken. She’s totally icky!
She hasn’t made it to the south, yet. I don’t think either she or McCain
or the Huckster will do well, here in TX. I hope, I hope, I hope.
Dick Morris says she only cries for herself…..when she cannot control
a situation she dissolves into self pity.
How can someone thats been in the spotlight for 20 years claim that it is just now has found her voice. She has had a pulpit and a shrill voice for years.
Dick Morris takes creepy and slimy to whole new levels.
You can’t expect the New Hamster to do the right thing.
Maybe if she and McCain win the nominations they can argue with each other who has the best amnesty plan.McCain will more than likely try for the all important Latino vote and when he does he will be turning off scores of border security folks around the country!
And that’s where she got the sympathy vote — like they said, older, single women.
“
In her mind all those people are victims too who are being exploited by a small group of evil corporate executives, who presumably wear top-hats and smoke big cigars as they laugh at the misfortune of others.
She makes me sick. As I said in another post, what will it take to get rid of these people? America was so close yesterday and today she is back, worse that ever.
That artfully timed, carefully orchestrated crying bit (Poor Hillary. Why, what awful thing might she do if she loses NH?! Must vote for poor Hillary.) Tears amidst talking point after talking point. What crap. Dishonesty is being given a bad name by this excuse for a human being. Are Dems really such suckers?
The outcome is in strong opposition to all the polls………
I smell ballot box stuffing……..
God help us. How can a thinking public do this to America? Obviously, they no longer think.
Bleecchhh!
Amazing how loudly people cheer when they freely give away their liberty.
Reminds me of Padme Amidala in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith: “So this is how democracy dies…to thunderous applause.” Or something like that.
It’s all rather discouraging.
I placed a, “Beat Hillary” bumper sticker on my car well over a year ago. It’s faded, the hammer & sickle are hard to make out, but it still elicits comments & discussion, even here in the People’s Republic of Santa Cruz. I’ll keep it there as long as it takes to get the job done!
Yes.
It’s to early to worry about Clinton. I’m more worried about president Bush going into Palestine this week. What is he thinking?
winemkr, he’s starting in Israel, and moving to the other middle-eastern countries to “follow-up” on what was started in Annapolis. I’ll be keeping him in my prayers for safety and wisdom, that’s for sure.
What a “long national nightmare” the NH Primary has been. Where I am in the midwest, it just past midnight and I am dreading going to sleep, because when I awake on Wed every liberal, socialist-leaning MSM pundit/reporter/blogger and newscast will be gloating and printing for the World and our enemies to see, the HRC open-mouthed, wide-eyed clownish SMIRK photo! Tell me it isn’t true! Maybe I will sleep-in the whole day! Yuk, just like those who support HRC, I may NEVER Wake-UP!
All I can say is “wow.” Been following politics for 35 years and have never seen so many be so spectacularly wrong - myself included.
Bright spot - she will be easier to beat than Obama.
You know, I can’t speak for the rest of you people here, or in any of the other states, but frankly, I really feel cheated by the way the people running for President treat all the rest of the States following the first few primaries. After all, so what if you lose in Iowa, New Hampshire, Oklahoma or NBFNE? Doesn’t the rest of the country, who has had to put up with all our crap for the last year and a half, two years, deserve the chance to have our say without you cowardly pulling out of the race prior to our primary?
Heck, here in California, we had to move our primary up four whole months simply because by the time it came to us, there was very little left to vote on, and no one even bothered to campaign here. We were left to just fend for ourselves. And as for the Republican Party? Well, we have been written off for 12 years now, working on 16. “Forget California, don’t waste the money. They are all Liberals out there, and we will never get them to vote for us”. Well, I got news for you…Los Angeles and the Bay Area are Liberal, the rest of the state is RED and just DYING to be talked to and treated like we exist and matter. There are a great many fence sitters here that vote Blue simply because we are ignored by our own.
I pay no heed to the polls, and while the election of 2004 shold have proven to everyone just how wrong they are, tonight should just put the nail in that coffin, but it won’t. I give no credence to 1000 people or less deciding the way the entire state or country is going to vote. I know all about statistics, but it just is not possible. There are too many enclaves of voters of one party and too many dishonest people out there who will purposely say the opposite of what they believe or have done in order to sway an election or poll. Again, all one need do is look to the 2004 exit polling for proof of that.
So for these candidates to spend all that time and money, to put us through all that endless crap, the endless debates, and lose one or two primaries in two ultimately tiny little insignificant states, that historically have meant squat in the long run, and then QUIT or at least talk of quitting, leaving the rest of the country hanging…well that is the weakest, biggest amount of BS that can happen in the American Presidential race, and there should be a rule that states they must stick it out until the end of the primaries, letting each state have the same chance to choose who the ultimate Presidential Candidate will be.
“our”=”your”
She added a tear to Edwards’ standard stump speech. I don’t think these people even live in America. I mean the poor crawling up to her Jet everyday must overwhelm her with compassion. I hope in the Carolina’s Edwards will put her up in his shack.
#28 - Augustine gives RetFiteman a standing ovation!
Michelle, let me translate: she didn’t say she respects the other candidates… only that she wants to say how much she respects them.
In other words, “I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening, and this wasn’t it.” (Groucho Marx)
“I have found my voice.”
Question; “Which one?”
Socialism triumphs in the news again. I am really concerned about how people can be so misguided and be happy with a power hungry candidate who wants nothing more than to rule with an iron hand, backed up with a liberal Congress. But, then again, if she wins I could just hear what is first said in the oval office. “Well, Bill, I’m finally President”. “Yes, Hillary, you are. Now go make me some coffee. I have work to do. And send in that nice intern..err…assistant to help me.”
She is Obnoxious.
Privileged few? I thought Hillary & Bill were among the privileged few and that they demanded those privileges as their entitlement, including the right to run our lives. If Hillary is running against the privileged few, she should attack herself.
It’s just amazing that the Clinton snake oil salesmen can still find an audience for their hokum. If terrorists launch another attack on America, will Hillary lose her voice? Will we have to wait around while she finds it? Will she deal with the terrorists with some tired rhetoric from a feminist empowerment pamphlet?
Go on Idol……
Simon would give er the hook in 30 seconds.
It’s looking more and more like those tears were a carefully crafted ploy. While they might have hurt her in the general election, these are Democrats we are talking about. All those women who were going for Obama heard those sobs and said to themselves “The queen is in trouble. We’ve got to help her!” Whether planned or luck, how can you fight this mentality?
It is comforting to know that the objective voting women of this country can factor in the tear which makes the difference whether to get out and vote or not! heaven help us!
Hillary and Obama were both just on Fox & Friends … They were treated with kid gloves by Steve and Gretchen … they were talking about last night … for now I am willing to go along with that … hope it will lull them to sleep so that they finally get willing to debate on FOX and start being on OR, H&C, and others where they can get some serious questioning for a change …
Tell you the truth I could care less about these smaller primaries and it is just the Media who is hyping them up.
Iowa? Come on that was a total joke on the Democrats side with how that “Caucus” is run.
NH? There are more people in LA or NY cities that then whole state.
Then we have the fact that a lot of voters who vote in the general election don’t vote in primaries. You would think the media would have learned it’s lesson with polls and joke primaries but no it seem.
“We are in it for the long ride…We are in it for the American people.”
As I said yesterday, never count the Clintons out! They have more tricks up their sleeves than Carter has Liver Pills (did I just age myself?). It’s going to be a long uphill slog to keep them and their gang of long haired hippy-types (according to Gary Aldrich) from desecrating The People’s House again. “in it for the American people” just means she’s in it to make us see life through her socialist eyes.
That’s a rhetorical question, isn’t it?
“As I said in another post, what will it take to get rid of these people?”
jsr, How about we put the call out to all of those military who served in the White House under these two reprobates, and ask them to write a book a la Gary Aldrich & the Swift Vets?! The hatred, contempt and disrespect they received from the Clintons was palpable…and I’ll bet they could write a real scorcher! Dissing our military is not taken well by the American people.
I saw that also DL, for those of you that missed it here’s what she looked like.(to me anyway)
Hillary on Fox & Friends
Okay, I’ve been thinking this morning, for better or for worse -
1981 - 1989 - Bush V.P.
1989 - 1993 - Bush Pres.
1993 - 2001 - Clinton Pres.
2001 - 2009 - Bush Pres.
2009 - 2017 - Clinton Pres.
I was 33 years old when George H.W. Bush became V.P. I’m now 61.
If Hillary Clinton wins this one, I’ll be 70 years old when she leaves office. Not worrying - just thinking, just thinking, thinking………………………………………….
When’s Chelsea’s 35th birthday?
The self-proclaimed “champion for African Americans” (Hillary Clinton) is doing everything within her power to prevent the first black man with a real chance to make history (Barak Obama) from succeeding.
Liberals hate to see minorities succeed, and here’s proof.
It appears the crocodile tears worked out really well for “she who must not be named” this time around. I didn’t realize there are that many suckers in New Hampshire. I think I can finally quit working for the Air Force and start selling all kinds of crap to the folks in New Hampshire it appears they will buy anything. I feel like there was some ballot box stuffing going on yesterday with this huge turn around it just does not add up. Wonder how many folks wandered across the border from Maine, Vermont, or Massachusetts to make sure she won?
The polls were wrong and this is why IMO:
The Clinton camp released the information a couple of days before New Hampshire that, “Hillary might drop out of the race”. Those who “might” vote for Hillary were prompted to turn out in force, believing if they didn’t vote now it would be the end of Hillary’s run. It worked, and the crying was just the icing on the cake,(or the streaks on the make-up).
I don’t see a mystery in the wrong polls, just masterful manupulation of voters.
It appears the crying worked. Hillary was interviewed this morning on Fox and Friends and the first thing they talked about was her “finding her voice…” She started repeating her tearful speech (sans tears this time, I guess she ran out of onions) about how passionate she is and how she’s not into politcal games. I left the room to make breakfast and when I came back she was still talking about her passion for helping the people, etc. Barf. I watched her, but in the way one stares at a car crash… I couldn’t help it.
(By the way, I think she has had some laughter training. Or maybe she just “found” her laugh.)
New Hampshire is chock full of feminists…
Her voice is like nails on a chalk board to me.
I’m beginning to think we need to do away with the polling. It was about as flawed as it can get last night. We went from them predicting Obama with a double-digit lead to Hillary winning. Not that it was any better the way it came out but that is quite a gaffe! Ugh!
They were a little closer on the McCain-RRomney difference. I know - margin of eerror. Whatever.
Yet another election where I am left to ppick between the lesser of several evils. Geez!
The Crying Game
Hillary, Part Two.
By Victor Davis Hanson
Over at “National Review Online” is a good read.
I find “her voice” to be about as pleasing as fingernails on a chalkboard.
Now, with Iowa and New Hampshire in the dust, the Clinton Machine is gearing up with Carville, Begala and the “usual suspects” to apply the Spin, generate propaganda and her “smoke and mirror” deceit will be full throttle going into South Carolina and Super Tuesday events.
It will make the 1938 Blitzkrieg look like a Sunday School picnic.
Just my expectation. America is in for a very bumpy ride going into November.
Yeah, but which side of your forked tongue is it coming from oh viperous one?
Had the polls not been so dramatically wrong before the NH primary, this would not have been considered a “comeback” win for Clinton.
In private, the Clinton campaign must be worried that New Hampshire, the state that gave Bill a huge boost in ‘92 and is notorious for favoring women political figures, only yielded a victory of 3% over Obama. Two points to be made on this:
1. If its only Obama and Clinton, no Edward, Obama probably wins from the fact that the Male voters in NH overwhelmingly favored Edwards or Obama and the females overwhelmingly favored Clinton.
2. The Democratic Nomination process gives a percentage of delegate votes to each candidate who earns over 15% of the popular vote in a primary. In this case, Hillary gets only 2% more of the delegates, hardly a landslide victory.
The main worry for the Obama camp should be the Superdelegates, the governors, senators, and other powerful people who vote for whoever they feel like. There are about 800 of them and hillary has already locked up about 110 of their votes, compared to only about 40 for Obama. If this race stays close in the popular vote, Clinton has a distinct advantage in the Superdelegate category.
Obama needs Edwards to get out of the race as soon as possible.
CNN your slip is showing, CNN = Clinton News Network.

I want to make sure I understand Hillary. The oil companies are evil. The insurance companies are evil. The pharmacutical companies are evil. These companies employ several million people who pay taxes. Warren Buffet is shilling for Hillary. Does she know that a majority of Berkshire -Hathaways’ profits come from insurance companies that they own? It is odd that Buffet never complained when the Reagan tax cuts made him billions of dollars.
The real evil in America today? Trial lawyers like Edwards.
Good news- a bus load of lawyers went off a cliff today. The bad news-one of them lived.
You would have thought last night we were watching the national election. This blow by blow coverage is going to get really old before next November. I have election fatigue already! Cry Me a River Hillary’s gloating is high on the BS meter. But to be honest I don’t care about her I care about who is going to be our candidate in this election and we have some pretty slim pickens. It seems to me McCain will say anything to get elected sooooo he is really no different then Hillary. So folks where are we headed in this nation? I have no answer but to vote but I don’t like what I am seeing as our front runners.
The Clintons are like that proverbial bad penny…they just won’t go away! It’s an amazing and frustrating thing to watch.
RetFireman, I’m obviously not a guy around here that you have much use for, but I wanted to say a couple of things: first, your comments in this thread are right on the money…I couldn’t agree more; and second, I checked out your new website and your post on a suggested New Years resolution changed entirely my opinion of the cyber version of you and tells me alot more about what kind of person you are in real life than anything you’ve posted here. That blog post was inspiring to me actually. I’m sure your sometimes vitriolic style of commenting will continue to frustrate me, but you’ll never see another “nasty” comment directed at you from me again.
Dick Morris may be creepy and slimy but he does know the Clintons so I listen
when he discusses them. He says and we know that they will stop at nothing to
get what they want. She wants the presidency. Slick wants another chance at the presidency to “straighten” out his legacy. We are in for a lot more hijinks
before this is over. Tears and a rumor of her dropping out are just the beginning
and it’s going to get nastier than owl droppings before this is over, so get ready
folks. I agree with retfireman and everyone else that is disgusted because
candidates pull out before we get a chance to vote. If they would just leave
themselves in the race, whether they have money to actively campaign or not, I’d
bet there would be a lot of surprises at the end of the primaries.
RETFIREMAN - You may speak for this Texas conservative. Well said!!!
I suspect that the poll takers forgot about the cementery vote and had no way to poll all the non NH residents who were brought in for the day.
Well said Bear. Probably trucked in Canadians, also.
Someone please explain this one to me. I’m the dim bulb this morning. If the major concerns of folks are the economy, the war in Iraq & illegal immigration, how do Hillary & McCain come out on top?
8 years. Be afraid. Remember, there was scuttlebut about Jeb as well.
