What are your predictions?! After watching the debate tonight, I felt like Hillary did terribly. It seems like her attempts to attack or discredit Obama have only backfired on her

1) CNN poll shows Hillary and Obama tied in New Hampshire

2) Fox News did a mini townhall meeting in Manchester, NH and support for Obama was overwhelming.

Yesterday, I was under the impression that Hillary was going to at least win NH but I have my doubts now. I think NH will go to Obama and that will be the end of the road for both Hillary and Edwards.

Hillary is definitely gripping. She wants to attack but that backfires on her, so she can't figure out what to do.

Guess her nomination was perhaps not "pre-ordained" after all?

I used to live in NH and was a political journalist when Bill ran the first time. NH Dems LOVE the Clintons. Bill never forgot how the NH primary saved his bacon and they continued to visit the state often and keep in touch with people. Obama will get a lot of support but I think Hillary will come out with a close win.

I saw most of the debate but not all of it. I still like Hillary. I like Obama too but I like what Hillary has to say about experience. I didn't realize (until this debate) that some of the accomplishments that Obama and Edwards are taking credit for are not really accomplishments at all because they were not put into law (but died on the floor somewhere).

To me, George Bush was a "training wheels" president, and I'm not so sure I want one of those again. I want someone who can really work with Washington and push thru ideas.

Anyway, Hillary gets my vote but I like Obama and Edwards -- just not as much as Hillary.

I think NH will go to Obama, but I don't think it will be a trouncing. Hillary is going to give him a run for his money, and I think Edwards will do okay. Neither will drop out yet.

Super Tuesday will be the big decider. If Obama takes Super Tuesday, it's over for Clinton and Edwards.
