The Underdogs Win in New Hampshire
The underdog is smiling in American politics, at least for the moment. Whomever is counted out gathers sympathy from the electorate. This is why we can't have a King.
It's good. The only problem is it can't last forever. One of these candidates is going to have to become the favorite, and then comes the general election. Will the person with the least chance to win become President?
What happens if Hillary and Barack split the rest of the way and no one wins a majority? Could we end up with a convention that actually means something for the first time in 40 years? The Great Plotnik wonders if Al Gore is watching. Answer: Yup.
Does John McCain look really old and feeble to anyone but The Great Plotnik? Hero, or no hero...does he look well to you? He functions great as an underdog, though.
Still, as all veteran dogwalkers know, you don't want to spend too much time contemplating what is under the dog.

Veteran dog walkers are the only political pundits I listen to!
Told ya those Eastenahs favored Hillary.
First - Nice graphic! Your skills are astonishing.
Second - McCain does not look old and feeble, but crazy and scary. There are times when he almost seems genuinely reasonable, and then he turns around and says something that makes your jaw drop. (Which makes him fit right in with the rest of these Republicans I guess.)
Third - Clinton is in no way an underdog in my mind. And you might be right about the split vote thing.
