So - What Happened In New Hampshire?

Ist1_4062794_casting_vote_2 I was amazed at the results of yesterday's presidential primary in New Hampshire. Were you? To be honest, I was surprised and a bit disappointed.

The polls had it pretty much right for the Republicans, but they missed it badly on the Democrats. In fact, I think the pundit that came closest to being right was Chris Wallace.

What do you think happened? Do you think Senator Clinton's near meltdown the day before the vote had anything to do with it, or because she carried a huge portion of the female vote?

Needless to say, she is now the comeback kid. In fact, I understand she more than equaled her husband's "comeback" of nearly 16 years ago.

Now the race for the White House seems wide open. Especially if Romney takes Michigan and Huckabee takes South Carolina — and Obama and Clinton swap states in Michigan and South Carolina. 

If you had to guess who each party's nominee will be, who would you say? I know politics are unpredicatable, but what would be your "guess"? Please let me know. 

A few weeks ago in response to our Pastor's Weekly Briefing column hundreds of you responded to our ethics question and your input was really helpful to us.

So — thanks for your time — and don't forget to encourage your people to register to vote and then vote.
