E.J. Dionne captures the pathos and ironies of Clinton’s collapse. Another good piece is Jon Alter’s in Newsweek, but I’m too tired to explain why. Tomorrow. Tomorrow …

Obama up 13 points over Hillary in final Zogby tracking poll; McCain up 9.

Late Update: Rasmussen’s last tracker shows Obama up 7; McCain up just 1 over Romney.

On the morning of the New Hampshire primary, it’s de rigueur to report on the midnight results from Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location.

This morning, Edwards was asked about his comments yesterday:

O’Reilly explains that he had no choice but to defend the constitution when he roughed up the Obama aide …

Late Update: It looks like the incident has gotten O’Reilly nominated for an international Freedom of the Press Award.

TPM Reader CS checks in from New Hampshire:

My wife and I are NH residents and registered independents (or undeclared as the state calls it) and went to vote at 7am in Nashua. There was no line per-say, but there was a lot of activity. People going in and out…exit pollster (complete with media logos) handing out clipboards with surveys…Obama and Hillary supporters with signs at the school parking lot entrance. There were lots of Edwards signs out on the street. The only evidence of republicans was a single Ron Paul sign across the street.

When I want to pick up my ballot, I saw a lot of names in the book with “UND” crossed out and “DEM” written in its place. Anecdotally, this indicated a lot of independents breaking for the dems, probably for Obama. McCain just held a big rally here yesterday, but there was no evidence of it now.

Just thought you might want this piece of info.

Heavy turnout reported in New Hampshire.

Maybe it has something to do with the weather.

Michael Berube takes on Michael O’Hanlon over Iraq:

O’Hanlon makes a good point. Truly, to bring America together, Obama will have to be more respectful of people who were wrong about war in Iraq, and who spent most of 2002-03 sneering derisively at people who turned out to be right about war in Iraq. If Obama can’t be nicer to all those people who dismissed war opponents as lunatics and Saddam-enablers, we will never have Unity in 2008.

Here’s John Dickerson at Slate looking at two rallies, one for Obama, one for Clinton at the same High School gym on two successive days …
