Politics Sweet Jesus. Sweet Lord. Christ.

What a sight. You may notice that the NY Times’ site has been subtly photoshopped in the extract below:
NEW HAMPSHIRE: OBAMA MANIA!!!

Now: I challenge any Portlander NOT intending to vote for this GOLDEN GOD of a human being to step up now. I’ll take you all on! (All two of you). Let’s hope the other 99% of New Hampshire voters had the good sense of the first few.

UPDATE, 4:54pm: Evidently they did not:
SIX PERCENT REPORTED: AAAAAAND….CUE NAILBITING!!!

For those of you wondering if I’ll be gracing Blogtown with updates on this every 9 minutes, you’ll be pleased to hear: I’m only human.

Remind me again -- what are the population demographics of New Hampshire?

Ahhhh, yes. You're hitting reload every 30 seconds just like I am.

With 9% reported, there's less than 300 votes between them!!!

Oh man. I can't wait to debate our endorsement with you Matt. You come to this with such an open mind!

What was that, Amy? All I heard was blahblahblahblahOBAMAFORPRESIDENTblahblah.

Open minds are over-rated!!!

Any votes on which of the medias has the best site for non-stop, straight-to-the-mainline wonky updates? I think I'm siding with Matt and his choice of the NY Times.

WWire.

Joke.

NBC news one minute after poll closing:

Dead heat (around 37% apiece) for Clinton and Obama.

Edwards: 17%.

Watch the results in real time?

looks like that didn't go quite as you planned it Mr. Davis.

over 65 year old white women in LLBean fleece have doomed us all.

I'm yet to meet an excited Hillary supporter. No I don't want to get out that much.

Posted by Scott | January 8, 2008 8:52 PM

What's the matter MAtt? Don't you want to play anymore?

I'm listening to a befleeced New Hampshire woman on the radio now, it's sickening. "Bill Clinton certainly bites his lip when he's feeling it," she says.

Barack's next weapon: CRY.

Fucking "welling up, authenticity" bullshit. Grr.

I'm welling up looking at these results.
