We were right with our caucus prediction. Obama did win, but by a bigger margin than even we suspected. Huckster nailed Mittens, who spent a wad of cash to a dude who had NO campaign war chest. Proves a point. Can’t be bought. Perception is reality and well ... do the political math. A good thing. Hillary is probably mad, too. This is a big bounce for the boy wonder, no doubt. If he's strong in NH, all bets are off for Hill, although she is well organized and certainly not out of it yet. We wonder how long it will take her to go on the attack. This whole experience thing trips us up. Barack has at least the poltical equivalent experience of Bill Clinton when he race for president, no?

And, while we are on a roll: What about a McCain-Huckabee ticket? Or a Guiliani-Huckabee ticket? Would that work? Ponder, discuss. Certainly a Huckabee win means that people are sick of status quo candidates and folks who look slick. And finally, would Evan Bayh be the parfait running mate for Barack? Both midwesterners, but still.

In other more important news: Our Hubris 'N' Handbags Tour resumes in New Hampshire this weekend. The pink leopard motif on our tour bus looks magnfico and we are ready to rock the Granite State (ba dum dum, we’ll be here all week.) Look for our usual updates from the campaign trail. Yankeeville again. (Our esteemed former colleague Dave suggests a side trip to the Coach outlet in Maine, but we doubt we can work that in, sadly, even if a new bag would make us truly a better reporter.) For local recon, we are meeting up with our galpal Kate who lives up there and who is gonna set us straight about politics in the Shire. Which sounds oddly like a Hobbitt film, no? But that's what they call it. We can hardly wait for our tour to go South. South Carolina, Florida. Warmth. Sand, tanktops. It's all there. This winter stuff is starting to bogue our high.

Apart from the obvious horse race, we saw where Mittens is telling anyone who is gonna hit him not to touch the hair and we completely understand. We don't like people disassembling our precious coif either. Wonder what kind of hairspray he uses? We must find out. It's the little things that vex us. Mittens has super stay-in-place hair. It must be good.
