By: R. Emmett Tyrrel Jr.Stepping back from the febrile blare that the political classes have orchestrated around the Iowa caucuses and now the New Hampshire primary, allow me to make an observation that some will say is lacking in humilityWell, to be honest, of all the virtues, humility is the one that I simply cannot stick. I mean, what is the point of it? Now that we have two presidential contests behind us and the Clintons thrashing to maintain a one-digit lead nationally over Senator Barack Obama, where only a couple of weeks back the lead was in the double digits, it appears that I have been right for months.

Hillary was reduced to tears just before the balloting began.By election day in New Hampshire large segments of the liberal political class, both in the media and in the Democratic Party, were betraying an enthusiasm for an end to the Clinton dynasty that surprised even me. Admittedly, I had predicted much of this impatience with the Clintons in my book. There in the last chapter I mused that a rising generation of young Democrats is finally going to overthrow the 1960s generation's domination of the party, and in New Hampshire -- as was the case in Iowa also -- the youth vote went for Obama. I also pointed out that, though Bill Clinton has been an effective campaigner for himself, he is usually ineffective in campaigning for others. In 2004 twelve of the fourteen candidates whom he campaigned for lost.
