He gets the win AGAIN….
He won it 4 years ago against Hillary Clinton…
Some thoughts …
Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire the last time four years ago …
He lost the nomination…
He was expected to win this time…
His win was less of a margin then against Hillary Clinton…
The person of the night wasn’t Pete Buttigieg…
He HAS a win and not bad second place though…
It WAS Amy Klobuchar.…
Who had a good NH debate and has been beating Pete Buttigieg up….
She came BEFORE Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden, who I thought would come in 3rd along with the poll’s…
THAT did NIOT happen…
Now I listened to the media people and the Klobuchar people going off the walls about how the Senator from Minnesota was gonna get up and run a national campaign now…
THAT is doubtful…
She is now gonna be expected to be able match the recognition and star power of Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden in states that are times bigger and more diverse than Iowa or New Hampshire…
That is NOT gonna be easy…
But she WILL be getting money and media attention at least for a week before the Nevada caucus vote…
The moderates split the bigger percentage of the vote in this primary…
THAT is NOT gonna be good for Bernie Sanders
Elizabeth Warren seems destined to only win her home sated of Massachuttess right now….
That would mean that the nom inaction race could very well come down to Sanders vs Joe Biden after tonight if Biden is able to get some headwind in the upcoming states that have larger minority voters….
As with four years ago?
There ARE more moderate Democratic voters….
Heard to head, with the establishmenbt FIRMLY behind Biden as it was behind Hillary Clinton last time?
Sanders could have a BIG hill to climb….
The good thing is the votes came in clean and AP HAS been able to give Sanders his first win…
Iowa still hasn’t been officially called and it looks like the bragging right will got to Pete Buttigieg…
Joe Biden didn’t expect to win and he didn’t…
He has lost his lead in some of the the national polling averages…
Sanders has moved ahead now….
It’s onward to Nevada , then South Carolina where Biden leads in the polling….
Nevada will be another caucus ……
And is sure to be more of Biden vs Sanders contest….
Oh, Yea….
Candidates yang and Bennet dropped out ….
The candidate filed is narrowing down….
Sen. Bernie Sanders is projected to win the New Hampshire Democratic primary, according to NBC News, ABC News and Decision Desk HQ.
State of play: Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg narrowly trails Sanders, with Sen. Amy Klobuchar in 3rd.
Why it matters: Tuesday’s results usher in the first concrete win of the 2020 primary season. Sanders and Buttigieg each claimed victory in Iowa following errors in caucus reporting and have asked for partial recanvasses.
- Based on current results released by the Iowa Democratic Party, Buttigieg narrowly took home the most pledged delegates, which ultimately determine the party nominee.
- Next up are the Nevada caucuses and South Carolina primaries, both states where Sanders is polling well.
- Buttigieg is likely to face a tough go in those two states, which are significantly less white than Iowa and New Hampshire. The former mayor has largely struggled to gain traction with voters of color.
The big picture: New Hampshire was a sort of homecoming for Sanders after he firmly won the state in the 2016 primaries against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton…
Results ...Vox…

The Las Vegas Culinary Union is now attacking Sanders over health care.
What might be unreported is that things tonight went worse for Sanders than meets the eye. It’s remarkable that he won the “popular vote” in the first two contests, which nobody has done besides Al Gore and John Kerry and yet he trails in the delegate count to Buttigieg. (What do Electoral College haters think of that?)
Deval Patrick is expected to drop out tomorrow. Why did he even get in the raee in the first place?
Based on what has developed, did Harris or Booker drop out too soon? It’s impossible to “unsuspend a campaign” right?
I mentioned a few times that Sanders will win if the other candidates do not coalesce against him. Well, maybe but unlike the GOP contest four years ago, this is not “winner take all.” Brokered convention, here we come?
I am predicting Warren will drop out fairly soon and endorse… Klobuchar.
In the meantime, Joe Biden has been running for President for 32 years and has never finished higher than fourth in any state. Maybe he can get 3rd or even 2nd in SC as a parting gift.
I agree on the former Mass Democratic Governor foolish move…
Sanders Iowa ‘win’ is bullshit….
He got one tonight in a small state where the mediate out gained him in votes…
I think Warren stays in till AFTER Super Tuesday…
I STILL think wins in Nevada and SC put Joe Biden back in the lead….
And that it will be between Biden and Bernie….
If I remember correctly the same scenario happened for Hillary and Sanders 4 year ago as now….
Sanders had a NH win and was high as a kite….
Hillary pulled it out…
But it was a 1 on 1 battle….
Biden is gonna get hurt with the other moderates running and after SC there is gonna be YUGE pressure on the others to drop out if Biden does well in the two states…
California is gonna be interesting ….
last time it was in June…
There are 400+ delegates and Sanders leads there now…
Biden will need a solid win in Texas to balance….
Gonna be REAL INTERESTING next 30 days for Democrats….
.
It’s over for Biden. I am sorry to have to tell you that.
(This is why I could never have been a doctor.)
I don’t think it is necessarily over yet for Biden, but I have doubts he has the skills to turn this around.
I still maintain he has to win (not just exceed expectations) in SC, but I still think it is still plausible. He will just have to have a very strong week. His only chance is to get in front of the cameras, answer questions and convince us he is the best candidate. He will not win on name recognition alone. He will have to earn his votes.
Sanders does not lead in the delegate total. Sanders won the most votes in the two elections, but Buttigieg actually came away with more delegates in Iowa and tied Sanders in NH.
Iowa Technically has NOT be called yet I believe…..
So….
Buttigieg doesn’t actually have the lead….
He should have more….
But Z?
I’m going to do a post that DOES give Buttigieg his due….
I think Klobuchar may win Nevada now.
The Las Vegas Culinary Union warning their members to reject Sanders is major.
I doubt it for Amy….
But we’ll see….
She won’t win SC or Texas….
I doubt the Southern states either ….
But a new Ark poll has Bloomberg ahead of Biden by 1% point….
Biden HAS to win going into Super Tuesday or Bloomberg becomes a new problem for him…
The other’s don’t have a prayer against Bloombergs Monet a organisation
According to Ron G. Klobuchar was one of the inspirations for the Selena Meyer character on Veep.
Wow.
She could win SC as the viable candidate older African-Americans find most “comfortable.” They are going to be very pragmatic and probably recognize reality about Biden at this point.
I am thinking jack will probably be voting for Klobuchar now.
I could also….
But Ole’ Joe WILL be the first choice and STILL is….
He’s shown he came back from adversity in the last 6 months…
I’m counting on him to do so again
Later….
When has Biden “come back from adversity”?
I don’t think Biden answered questions about his son particularly effectively. He has largely avoided those attacks. Biden has survived because the attacks on him personally were blatantly unfair, and people recognized it.
If Biden is to win SC, he must step up his game. He coasted for a long time as the perceived front runner without performing well. Clearly, he now has to perform well.
I might depending on if she follows up with a good showing in Nevada.
Right now though she’s not even visible in S.C.
It’s all Tom Steyer.
And he’s having some effect among Minority voters.
I said this…
Klobuchar has little to no chance to play with the top shelf guys…
Well Gary Hart sought of did it in 1988.
He actually dropped out after the revelations of his shenanigans on that boat “the Monkey business”( God that seems quaint now) .
Later he “reentered “the race.
He lost badly of course.
Extremely impressive performance by Klobuchar. Extremely impressive.
She has now earned a place in the spotlight. She hasn’t been there much. I am really, really hoping she performs well. Go Amy.
