Hillary pulls off a surprise



So a night of surprises in New Hampshire. Everyone had written off Hillary Clinton in her race to become the Democrat Candidate in this year's US presidential elections, but maybe the huge increase in voters, especially independent electors pushed her ahead of previous frontrunner Barack Obanna. Probably a good thing for Senator Obama to get a less easy run, but on the other hand there is a tremendous 'ANYONE BUT HILLARY' feeling in America and this may mean Republican John McCain (if he gets to be their candidate) might stand a chance of winning. It is an interesting contrast of candidates though to select from - youth, female, older, experienced, black (?) and the traditional Washington/not Washington conflict. Still a long way to go though.
