Does the media think the people of New Hampshire are so stupid they decided to vote for Hillary because she got teary eyed? If I lived in NH I would be PO'D at the press for basically calling me an idiot.The media was all over Obama,just like the kids of this country.Obama is a nice guy and has charisma,but with the mess this country is in we need somebody that knows their way around and doesnt need a couple years of practice, to get in the white house.I think many people got out and voted because they didnt want Obama to win again.The only democrat that could possibly win is Hillary and smart people,not idiots,realized this and got out there and voted for her.

Thank you so much for saying that! I've been trying to tell everyone that but no one will listen. they're too blinded by Obama's "fairytale." After all, they think he's the new Kennedy ...

Remembering the 1960 election I won't be too quick to compare Obama to Kennedy and if I was a Chicago politician supported by the Daley machine. I certainly would not want to revive memories of accusations that the Daley machine rigging the Chicago votes was responsible for Kennedy winning in Illinois and giving him a very slim margin in the popular vote. Kennedy definitely was not the overwhelming choice of the voters in 1960. He got less than 50 percent of the popular vote but had a more substantial margin (303-219 ) in the electoral college.

The idea that John Kennedy had the support of an overwhelming portion of the population is a myth invented by the media after he was assassinated and not one wanted to diminish the memory of an assassinated president whose murder was abhorrent and shocking even to those who did not support him. Terrible as it may sound, John Kennedy became more of a hero to the American people as a result of how he died than he ever was while he was living.
