The night before the New Hampshire primary, when everything looked bleak for the Clinton presidential campaign, apparently somebody gave into the despair and went drinky-drinky.
Sidney Blumenthal, nicknamed "Sid Vicious" for his long history of sliming opponents of the Clinton family, was picked up for DWI in Nashua on the eve of the primary.
Would you like some mayo on that big fat karma sandwich, Sid?

New Hampshire primary predictions
By Rick Morris
On the Democratic side, Hillary's Monday tearfest is going to add to the snowball effect against her. Obama wins by about 12 points, with Edwards back of her by a decent margin.
For the Republicans, McCain will hold on, but has been hurt by Romney's momentum in recent days. Notwithstanding a mediocre debate performance on Sunday night, Mittens has received credit for appearing brilliant for some unknown reason. He'll close to within 2 points or so of McCain. Huck will be a distant third, with Rudy, Ron Paul and Fred Thompson trailing him in that order.
If these results come in as I anticipate, Edwards will be finished and Hillary gravely, although certainly not mortally, wounded. Romney will hang on in hopes of a win in Michigan as the GOP race becomes a full-fledged free-for-all. That should give an opportunity for my man Fred Thompson, but he'd need to win or finish at least a close second in South Carolina.
