So what do you think ab0ut the NH primary results? I believe that it is still so early in the process that it is frustrating to me when so much "news" consider any particular candidate out of the race. More importantly, we must decide who we want to vote for and not let others decide for us

So the Primaries are today
Do you know what a delegate is. Here is a pretty good explanation from Wikipedia. I saw a great breakdown on CNN but have to find the link again
A delegate is a member of a group representing an organization (e.g. a government, a charity, an NGO, or a trade union) at a meeting or conference between organisations of the same level (e.g. trade talks or an environmental summit between governments; an arbitration over an industrial dispute; or a meeting of student unions from individual colleges at a national student union conference).
Delegates from the major political parties are involved in the selection of candidates for President of the United States by such assemblies as a convention. Some of the officials involved in the process are called superdelegates.
I'm really interested to see how today's primaries turn out. I've been a bit disappointed at some of the comments/quotes attributed to Bill Clinton recently. I am hoping that he was misquoted but I doubt it.
