Kent Ninomiya - Despite news pundit forecasts of her political demise, Hillary Clinton defies the so-called experts and wins the New Hampshire primary. Her 3% squeeker victory is just the latest dip in this already thrilling roller coaster ride of a primary election season. The swings are amplified by the all news channels making grandiose predictions about outcomes. They were all wrong. The polls predicted a double digit loss to Barack Obama. Political commentators declared that Hillary was on the ropes and had to completely retool her campaign if she wanted to survive. Clinton did retool her message a bit on the day of the New Hampshire primary but it was far from a complete refit of her strategy. The bottom line here is that predicting politics is like predicting the weather. Forcasters are so often wrong that people don't even notice or hold them accountable for their predictions. Now that the race for the Democratic nomination is hot again they will have much more to talk about. They will have much more to get wrong too. Kent Ninomiya
