Will Durst, writing in Working For Change, makes sure that the best Democrat performances in the New Hampshire primary are praised adequately by naming the recipients of this year's Grannie Awards. The series of awards recognizes notable performances this year in the Granite State. So, without further ado . . .

Dennis Kucinich. Speaking of his 1 percent vote in the Granite State on Fox News, "the battle for sixth place continues."
The Shoot Yourself in the Foot Award
