The wife of the former president of the US, who also won his New Hampshire primary in the 90s, performs a miraculous 21 point swing and wins the primary, after being seriously behind until the day of the primary. This was in a state where ALL 17 polls got it wrong, and ALL were outside the statistical margin of error - which is highly improbable! Moreover where the ballots were counted by hand, Obama was up by 6 points, but where the machines counted the ballots, Hillary was up by 15 points. Further, only 496,000 people voted, but 510,000 votes were actually tabulated - 14,000 more than were cast.
Would the Clinton machine and the BushCo repugs in New Hampshire, tamper with the election, in order to obtain a desperately needed primary win for Hillary, and derail the Obama express? - You bet your sweet bippy they would! Remember Hillary voted for their illegal war and voted for the Patriot Act, among her other consistent votes for war funding, plus, she is the matron of the Dem centrist/right wing of the DNC, which controls the national party and the local Dem party in New Hampshire. Although they used paper ballots, they were mostly counted by optical-scan machines, and therefore subject to manipulation and other machinations.
As the status quo candidate and part of the DNC centrist/right wing of her party, Hillary is the choice of corporate America which has given her a war-chest of over $100 million, so they have a vested interest in her winning, and Obama losing. The military industrial complex would also love nothing better than to have her and her Repug opponent be supporters of the war - what a great way to ensure eight more years of unlimited military appropriations and spending, regardless of which party wins the presidency.
Few Democratic politicians, especially Clinton, would publicly cite Obama's race as a liability. But in brutal political terms, this unstated vulnerability may now be used to persuade leaders of the party establishment and fundraising network, to stick with Clinton, through what is now sure to be a bruising fight until at least February 5th, and perhaps all the way to the convention in August.
In any case, this loss allows Obama to see more clearly what he's up against. Hopefully, his people can adapt their campaign strategy to the inevitable election tampering that is sure to occur again.
My guess is that this was the opening salvo to secure the nomination for Hillary, and the rejection of the Obama movement. Then Hillary will go up against the Repugnant standard bearer, and probably lose to him, thereby keeping the presidency safe for the Repugs.
