I hear there is new word on the street in NH

No links, no conformation, just a few friends we have there are saying, Hillary may well indeed take NH. I would not count on it, but they fully expect her to win or come in very close. They say that NH is Clinton country and that last minute deciders will break for Hills. Take it with the grain of salt it is.

...but the numbers simply don't say that at this point. Well, I can dream, can't I?

Thanks for the update!

3. Right now the average NH poll on real clear politics indicates Sanders by about 20

he is well known in this state that borders his own. I would consider it a win for Hillary if she cut that in half and lost by 10 or less.

The Clintons could never be called cowards. BS, however...

6. Exactly. Sanders lied to Rachel Maddow and went back on his word that he'd do the debate.

Sanders to Maddow on 1-19-16: "If the other candidates are in, you count me in."

Bernie agreed with Rachel to do a NH debate "if the others are in." That was his ONLY condition.

It's right there in the video. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/watch/one-more-democratic-primary-debate-maybe-609555011560


As the above Maddow video shows, Hillary and MOM agreed to the Rachel/MSNBC debate, they had said they're "in." But then Sanders went back on his word.

7. This will be a mistake ... a big one.

And an odd one considering how much he and they complained and griped about the number of debates.

8. Well, it would be fantastic

...but it would also be amazing if she came much closer than Sanders' campaign and supporters anticipate. The rest of the country is Clinton country and Sanders will struggle.
