Last night — Monday the 26th — at 10:00 pm, the news came on the radio that Wesley Clark was in the lead in New Hampshire!
Mind you, the New Hampshire primary doesn’t start until Tuesday the 27th.
This was 10:00 pm on the West Coast, so it was 1:00 am in New Hampshire. Apparently some podunk little town out there hustles everyone out of bed at midnight on primary day every four years and gets them to vote, just so they can say they were first. Must be the only way the town’s name ever gets into the news. Sad, really.
So yes, Wesley Clark was in the lead, and not just barely but with a whopping 50% of the vote! Wow! Practically a mandate! Kerry and Edwards were tied with about 19% each, and Dean and Lieberman had 6% each.
How many votes total? 16.
Can we get some real news one of these days? Please.
