That about sums up the New Hampshire primary for me. Obama was unable to put Clinton away and Ron Paul’s chances for success were doused with cold water.  I wonder why the polls predicting an Obama blowout were so off, maybe with only four days between Iowa and New Hampshire, most people were enamored with Obama, but didn’t feel comfortable enough to vote for them.   Clinton, after all, dominated in most all of the New Hampshire polls until Iowa.  Their speeches pretty clearly illustrated the differences between the two.  Obama’s speech was more to rally the supporters, look towards the next primaries, and, most of all, involve his followers in his campaign, while Clinton’s speech was mostly about her (”I have found my voice … et al”).   It seems typical of most of their speeches, and is partly why I enjoy Obama’s speaking style so much and can’t stand Clinton’s, and dread the thought of listening to that self-centeredness (and, as in the 90s, being praised by a fawning main stream media, no less) for another 8 years.
