Concord, New Hampshire's posh St Paul's School was dragged to earth recently when every single one of the boarding institutions 40 black students received in their mailboxes a death threat reading, "Bang, bang, get out of here." The school, alma mater to famous people like John Kerry, Garry Trudeau and William Randolph Hearst, is actually more ethnically mixed and harmonious than its list of alumni would suggest, and kids are freaking: "Jason DeGiovanni, who graduated from St. Paul's last year and is now a freshman at Amherst College said he thought of St. Paul's as an accepting community…'The day it happened everyone was [instant messaging] each other,' DeGiovanni said." Instant messaging: the new A-bomb drill.

Because they were sent through the federal Postal Service from a town 20 minutes from the school, the FBI is leading the investigation into the threats.

Despite the polls showing Barack Obama in a comfortable lead in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton has won the state's primary, along with some much-needed momentum. Was it her late-breaking show of emotion or did people just lie when they said they were voting for Obama? The latter strikes me as more plausible, but it could be a combination of the two. Anyway, enjoy Clinton's speech, although, if you haven't seen it, you should wait until after your morning coffee. Check Barack Obama's "Second Place Ain't Bad" speech and the stats from the primary, which John McCain won on the GOP side, after the jump.

New Hampshire Poll Dance

Hillary Clinton has significantly pulled away from Barack Obama in New Hampshire, according to a recent CNN poll that puts Clinton 23 points higher than Obama in the very important early primary state.

The New York Democrat registered 43 percent in the latest poll, 23 points more than Obama, an Illinois senator. In a similar poll conducted in July, only 9 points separated the candidates, with Clinton then at 36 percent and Obama at 27 percent.

"The seven-point change for both candidates is within the poll's sampling error, but may indicate growing support for Clinton as the primary approaches," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said.
