3. It is certainly one of the most unexpected.
Clearly, no one - including Hillary and her staff, more than likely - expected this.

What BS. Why not mention the 17% undecided. If you want to talk about political upsets
why not talk about the stealing of the 2000 election?

10. Clearly, Tim Russert is not a historian either.
Of course, we all failed to calculate the influence of Chris Mathews flaming Hillary, so history was changed!

on Tim Russert. Also hyperbole, as Russert does nothing but spew great amounts of gas.

12. Yeah... i think this makes the Media 0-2
Wasn't Hillary "suppose" to win Iowa... just by a small margin? WRONG. Now Obama is suppose to blow out NH.. Wrong Again.

16. He's always been full of shit. I would say that 2000 was much more of an upset.
So much so that they swore in the wrong man as President.

17. That's called "Making a story out of thin air and shit"
What the REAL story is: "The polls, pollsters, and pundits are manipulative assholes playing politics as entertainment"

25. the media is useless. "shocking victory!" "political upset!"
what did they think? Obama would win every single state? It's like these morans have never witnessed a primary before. These two primary votes are often split like that... and Bill Clinton himself lost both Iowa and NH and went on to be prez. Maybe if the media didn't slobbering crown Obama and Huckabee the winners of the whole primary season, they wouldn't be so damn shocked.

31. Theyll use this to narrativize Sen Clinton to the nomination
That's my feeling and my fear. It seems to me that they need the narrative to make this compelling, they lacked on, and now they have it. Then they can get to work on the general election narrative in a couple weeks.
