An
upset....Really? That's the headline of an
AP article about the New Hampshire caucuses. Me no think so. I'm not sure that I would label Clinton's victory as
upset. This considering that she was the front runner up until recently and with Obama and Clinton both scoring 8 delegates each with a difference of only 6,312 votes - it was a close race that either could've won. Again...not an
upset. Whereas McCain doubled the number of delegates earned by the Republican runner up, Romney. So the headline was 50% accurate. Leave it to the media!
I agree that it might not be a complete upset...but believe me, I am sure that Obama is pretty upset today!
ReplyDeleteUp till the Iowa primary Hilary was ahead in New Hampshire. After Iowa Obama took the lead in all the polls, at times by double digits. He was favored to win going into the primary yesterday, but did not. No, Hilary is by no means an underdog, but she was not favored. Dictionary.com defines an upset as "To defeat unexpectedly" and she was not expected to win NH.
