I suppose that it might be possible that the Clinton campaign somehow knew that it would win in New Hampshire despite all of the polls and all of the momentum going Barack Obama’s way. Perhaps the campaign allowed others to set expectations for Obama and was able to triumph not only by winning the vote in New Hampshire, but also by seeing those expectations upset.

I have a hard time believing that. I think the Clinton campaign was (happily) caught off guard. Chances are that there was a dramatic polling error, the nature of which is yet to be determined. In any event, I don’t think that what happened yesterday was the result of any Clintonian spinning. The victory in New Hampshire notwithstanding, the Clinton campaign revealed that it has a jutting glass jaw just asking for a punch. It is resourceful and tough but by no means is it ten feet tall. And I really don’t care if Hillary Clinton said that she “found [her] voice.” She is not good on the stump and she will lose her voice again as a consequence.
