It's sort of amusing to hear people who were surprised by the Iowa results. They had assumed Hillary Clinton would prevail over Barack Obama and John Edward et al. Today, there are undoubtedly plenty of people surprised that Clinton came back in New Hampshire.
I would not necessarily have predicted that things would play out exactly as they have, but let's face it, there are ebbs and flows to this stuff. I don't think we can assume anything. Didn't Howard Dean prove that in 2004?
Perhaps the New Hampshire primary results even mean this whole presidential picking will still be in play when Vermont gets its turn March 4.
Secretary of State Deb Markowitz will hold a live chat tonight at 7:30 p.m. pn Vermont Public Television's Primary Tracker. She is supposed to talk about why it's important for Vermonters to vote in the primary.
