7:45 pm EST - MSNBC coverage of New Hampshire primary, with co-anchors Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann. Some of the polls in New Hampshire closed at 7:00 pm; the rest will close in less than half an hour. 8% of the vote is in, and is being reported. The 'round table' (Eugene Robinson, Joe Scarborough,Katrina Vanden Heuvel and Howard Fineman) discuss politicians' crying: John Edwards), and speculate about the campaign after New Hampshire (Howard Fineman: "If Hillary has any hope, any hope after tonight..."); Katrina Vanden Heuvel's hope that Hillary doesn't win tonight (thus the nomination would be, basically, a done deal), because the voters in the other states would then be denied a vigorous debate on the issues (Eugene Robinson: "New Hampshire isn't a very representative state for blacks"). 1/8/08
