Former President Bill Clinton said today that his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), could finish strongly in New Hampshire's primary next Tuesday and become the "comeback kid," a nickname he earned by finishing second in New Hampshire in 1992. I don't know how a sixty-year-old woman can be construed as a kid, but they're desperately trying to put a positive spin on her distant third-place finish in the Iowa Caucus last night.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) on the other hand is well on his way to the nomination (as we've been saying for some time). His ability to get young and independent voters to the polls will result in a big victory in New Hampshire, and the Clinton dynasty will be dead.
Whether there is a Republican in the race that can overcome Obama's rock star status, despite his alraming lack of experience, I'm not sure. As of right now, I'm just looking forward to Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) in 2016.
