On Obama's loss in New Hampshire...

It's only until now that I found the Democratic debate on ABC before the New Hampshire primary on YouTube. That's probably the only main shortcoming of not keeping a TV.

After watching the debate, those people who attributed Hilary Clinton's win in New Hampshire to her welling up on the day before the primary, must be smoking heavily or something. Her performance easily beat those of Obama hands-down. I'm one of those voters who demand details from candidates, any candidate, of what they have done and what/how they are going to do.

The other thing that comes out of it, was how John Edwards presented himself. He clearly was on the side of Obama (perhaps he's presenting himself as yet another VP candidate, should Obama come out on top). I could be wrong, but I bet Edwards has bet on the wrong horse.

It's a pity that Bill Richardson, much like Clinton who's long on experience and details, is not able to present himself in a better light. He's likely to be a better operator (be a Secretary in the cabinet) than being the president.

But clearly, Hilary Clinton is the most presidential-ready among the Dem candidates left in the field. I am more hopeful that she'll be an agent of change, than Obama who could behave more white than black and who could happen to be a president that has darker skin than one who would bring about major changes in favor of minorities.
