Hillary Wins New Hampshire
Thefirst female ever has won a United States Primary Election - hallelujah!
It’s was such a thrill to see Hillary win last night after her defeat in Iowa. My daughter and I slapped a high five and talked about how a woman might actually be the next Commander in Chief.
Whether it was her teary moment that made her seem more vulnerable or her tough stances on real issues - I am so proud of her and so proud of those in New Hampshire that kept her so relevant.
I heard one male voter on NPR say, The country needs to be mothered right now, so I voted for the mother figure.
That’s as good a reason as any to vote for her. I hadn’t thought of that reason personally. But, really who doesn’t know the mother runs the house and has the most influence at home?
We’re forever talking about the Founding Fathers. Duh, why wouldn’t we try mothering the country?
Here’s to you Hillary and God Bless New Hampshire for keeping the woman in the race in a vital way!
Click on So Sioux Me, where I talk about the kind of positive impact Hillary’s New Hampshire win will have on American girls.
Democratic results were Hillary Clinton (39%), Barack Obama ( 36%), John Edwards (17%).
Republican results were John McCain (37% ), Mitt Romney (32% ) and Mike Huckabee (11% ).
Next primary stops: Michigan (Jan. 15), South Carolina (Republicans, Jan. 19; Democrats Jan. 26), Nevada (Jan. 19) and Florida (Jan. 29). Two dozen states vote on Super Tuesday (where 22 states will host primaries), Feb. 5.

Hillary is no role model. Sorry. As an American girl myself, not only does she not represent who I am as a female, she does not represent my view of America and what it can be. I think the most positive impact she can have on girls is to teach them what kind of wife NOT to be when and if they get married themselves.
