Hillary Takes New Hampshire
How?

If Barack Obama had won New Hampshire last night, the long primary campaign would end, leaving us with only a year long general election campaign. But with Hillary’s resurgence last night, the primary show just got renewed.

Readers were undecided about whether Hillary's near-tears were real or politically motivated. Either way, are they responsible for her win yesterday?

CNN Is Seeing Stars

"Star Jones' gastric bypass confession," writes CNN.com. "Should she have come forward earlier?"

'Yes!' say 69% of the the Quick Poll respondents—or 5159 voters—much to the chagrin of the remaining 31% (2318 voters).

And there you have it. A nation divided by a tale of deception and disappearing back-fat. And, even more troubling, 7477 people with nothing better to do than weigh in* with their reactions to Star Jones' waistline.

*Haha, get it??

Ask And Ye Shall Receive

The report from the latest WE Media/Zogby Interactive poll:

A majority of Americans (55%) in an online survey said bloggers are important to the future of American journalism and 74% said citizen journalism will play a vital role, a new WE Media/Zogby Interactive poll shows.

Oh, did we mention that the people who are putting so much faith in the Internet were polled on the Internet?

The next time we're looking to accurately measure the feelings of commuters on how good a job the MTA is doing, we're going to poll passengers on a R train that's been stuck between Grand Central and Jackson Ave underneath the East River. That should yield some accurate results.

Jossip Poll: <i>NYDN</i> vs. <i>NYP</i>: Which Con-Ed Headline Rules?

As you can see here from Sunday's news tabloid covers, both the Post and Daily News were all over the Con-Edison blackout in Queens. But more important than restoring power is the decision as to who had the better headline. Was it the Post, who squeezed four features on the cover and went with "Ed-Idiots," or was it the Daily News, which dedicated its entire lower half to "Powerless & Clueless"?

Who had the better Con-Ed headline?

New York Post

New York Daily News
