AP: Hillary Clinton is the winner in New Hampshire.

I was on the phone with a GOP consultant in New Hampshire when it flashed on Fox News. His reaction? "Holy [bad word]ing [bad word]".
UPDATE: I'm getting conspiracy theories from folks who don't usually traffic in conspiracy theories. Take a look at the last batch of polls out of New Hampshire, some of which were finished yesterday: Obama by 5, Obama by 9, Obama by 13, Obama by 7, Obama by 9, Obama by 8, Obama by 7.
I don't know if the polls have ever been so wrong, across the board. Certainly not in recent memory, and certainly never in such a high-profile race.
I have to give Clinton credit for pulling this one out of the fire. With this victory, she's takin' back her frontrunner status, and to be honest, I believe she's on her way to the nomination. Other than South Carolina where I expect Obama to win, I see Hillary winning the big states like Florida, California, etc on Super Tuesday. Obama really did need to win tonight to create the momentum needed to carry him to Super Tuesday. According to the exit polls, Clinton won big with women, old people, union workers and low income people... pretty much the Democrat base. It looks like her crying episode worked... Ha! Once we start getting to the primaries where Independents can't vote in either the Democrat or Republican primaries, it looks like Obama will be screwed.

From National Review Online:
Let’s call it a comeback and a black eye for the mainstream media... Look, Barack Obama’s an impressive guy; I don’t know anybody who dislikes him. But I think we should be encouraged that voters can stand up against an emotional 24/7 media Valentine for one candidate, and vote instead for a person they think will be a steadier and more reliable Commander-in-Chief (especially important in time of war). Hillary as insurgent against the liberal MSM—you go, girl!
