What a brilliant move by the Clark campaign

[dolstein]

Take a wild guess about which story will lead the local morning newscasts.

[KissMyAsscroft]

1. WHat story?

Could you clue me in?

[BootinUp]

2. Yea but how did he do that

I mean, I wonder why he drove up there, did they have some advance intelligence or something?

[Dookus]

4. supposedly he was the only candidate to visit

both towns (Dixville Notch and Hart's Location. I guess it paid off.

[Tatiana]

7. His psychic powers, silly!

Didn't you receive your meme?

And yes, it's mahhhhvelously brilliant as this will be the lead bright and early in the morning before most people get to the polls, possibly swinging some late undecideds in our favor :)

10. it's easy to get people's votes when you're standing in the room

They become sort of star-struck.

[Rowdyboy]

14. Yeah, NH voters are REALLY easy to intimidate

and they're not very sophisticated. They hardly ever see a presidential candidate.

[overground1]

18. Who said they were intimidated?

I mean, if I was going into the polls and I wasn't sure exactly who to vote for and standing in the room was one of the candidates and he shook my hand, hell, I'd probably vote for him. Unless he is Wes Clark that is. But Lieberman, sure, why not. Then in the off chance that he won, I could say "I've met the President".

11. 8 out of 13 is easy to spot

Easy to have advance warning. The man read The Art of War seven times; of course he knew he won tonight.

[Jerseycoa]

16. I remember he visited Dixville Notch

very early in his campaign. And then he mispronounced the name of the town and the media made their usual stink about it. I think he said Dix Notch or something. I guess the townfolk appreciated he had come to see them. :)

3. I Hear the Winners of Dixville Notch and Hart's Landing Get a 3-5% Bump

I read it on the Internet, so it must be true. ;-)

6. Dennis!!!!!

9. Busy But Good

Anxious but excited. :D

8. No kidding!

That is awesome news.

"Good morning, New Hampshire. In a landslide vote last night, General Wesley Clark took 1st place in Hamm and Dixville."

[Toucano]

5. But that can motivate the opposition

It's a tricky thing this "air of success" thing.

[Tom Rinaldo]

12. Yes, but it's generally good for an underdog.

Fires up people to believe and get out there to make it happen. That "air of success" doesn't have much time to get stale in the last 20 hours lol.

[mikehiggins]

13. Nah. It'll kick off the landslide. Once the New Hampshire voters

see how upset the FAUX whores and Wolf Spritzer get they may vote for Clark just to tick them off.

Elections have been won for lesser reasons.

[West Coast Democrat]

15. Clark's Early Wins are Awesome!

and I was screaming like a raving-Deaniac when I heard the news!

[Jerseycoa]

17. Ha ha, you bad girl

oops

So was I. I love our tiny newspaper endorsements and tiny town wins in the tiny state of New Hampshire. :loveya:

19. Applause for Clark

He at least deserves good tidings in NH after foregoing Iowa. There hasn't been much to celebrate in the Clark camp for awhile since he was dormant in the Iowa excitement. You guys deserve it.

[Rowdyboy]

20. Thanks....Its been a nasty week for us

This feels good (meaningless, but good)

[carpe diem]

21. and gutsy too!!

it could have backfired and the vote gone against him if they thought he was trying to manipulate them with his presence and he would have had to make an awkward 'concession' statement before anyone else even voted...that WOULD NOT have been a good headline!
