Wow, this was amazing, I had chills running up and down the whole time. ABC News said that older women were the winning factor for her campaign.

Huh. That takes a little wind out of that fantastic speech. That, and that today's was practically a duplicate of the Iowa speech.
Still, great delivery.
And somebody wrote Hillary's speech pretty well. I'm an official fan of whoever wrote that.

New Hampshire caps the interest on a payday loan, and people are buzzing about the Obama speech on the economy. The President-elect gave his economic address recently, and announced a broad plan for a generous stimulus package that will help the revamp. Republicans in Congress, in a surprise move, haven't voiced prolific opposition to the proposals, and instead have agreed with Obama that a stimulus package is needed, as well as tax cuts to the middle class. Instead the only disagreement is in the terms of the stimulus. House Minority Leader John Boehner was in favor of a more balanced stimulus, and Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell offered that the stimulus portions available for states should be made as loans instead of grants.
