The all-important, all-revealing anecdotal poll tells me that Mitt Romney might have trouble in his native state of Michigan.

Many of the Texas Blue crew are in Austin for the weekend, and while we won't really be performing much of a mailbag function at the event, you could come and see us at the TDP Headquarters in Austin this afternoon at a reception kicking off the 2008 campaign season. It runs from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 505 West 12th Street, Suite 200. Texas Majority Builders get in for $15; all others $25. We hope to see you there.

Anyone who's been paying attention to news reporting on New Hampshire could say the state's Democratic primary was effectively over before it started. All public polls had indicated that Obama's lead there was still widening even on the morning of the primary. Not to mention that Obama's internal polling numbers had him winning by 11 percent, and Clinton's had him winning by 12.

So, of course, Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary, 39 percent to 36 percent. Wait a minute — did I just say that?

Josh tells me there's a crowd gathering outside our office clamoring for a place to share their New Hampshire prognostications. I say to him, I give the people what they want. Publish your New Hampshire nuggets of wisdom in the comments at your whim.

EDIT: Early numbers have started to come in for New Hampshire today; we'll be following along in the comments as the results come in.

The first primary votes are being cast in New Hampshire. Primary Day in the Granite State has been underway since last night at midnight, when the citizens of Dixville Notch and Hart's Location, New Hampshire — both towns with populations totaling less than 100 people — cast their votes.

The sense of entitlement on display when Bill O'Reilly started shoving Obama staffers at a New Hampshire event would be breathtaking, if not for the fact that it was Bill O'Reilly.
