ProConPundit War Room-10:15 p.m. Heartland Time

In 1992, Bill Clinton claimed the mantle of "Comeback Kid" after coming in 2nd Place in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary, 8 points behind Paul Tsongas. Paul Tsongas seemed inevitable until that primary and the Granite State was where the man from Hope was able to SPIN his way to ultimate victory. Clinton’s victory then is comparable to Obama’s second place victory now. Its only in the last 5 days that Obama was thought to win NH. He was always expected to lose and lose big to the Clinton’s. The Clinton’s pulled it out. They are self serving phonies and are not capable of honesty. The same media that prematurely wrote Hillary's political obituary are now saying she won and "historic, upset victory." She narrowly won an election she should have won big.

Barack Obama delivered his firs concession speech ever and did so to an electrified, exuberant crowd. He was gracious and is moving forward. His speech was presidential and inspirational. He threw in a Stevie Wonder song as a bone to the boomers, I trust. John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards are to be credited for fighting the good fight and, Elizabeth, in particular, for spending the last quarter of her life for the dream of their lifetime. The ProConPundit endorsed Edwards in 2004 and, although I have been often and correctly critical of him this time around, its just not in the cards and no where to be found on the horizon where his campaign can go up from here. If he really wants the change he and Elizabeth have been fighting for, he needs to take a bow, drop out of the race, endorse Obama who would then easily and quickly defeat the Clinton’s, and then spend his time fruitfully caring for his lovely wife who has toiled so well and so hard for him.

Hillary Clinton’s victory speech was well done. The ProConPundit never finds her believable and seldom finds her speeches very good but this one was okay. She concluded with words of tribute to the now also-rans Joe Biden and Chris Dodd. Good that she did–they were more qualified than anyone else in the primary. She also read the names of the other candidates, mentioning Obama last. She can minimize him tonight. But not tomorrow.
