Go Hillary!

I tend to ignore the polls themselves and eyeball the trends. And right now, Sanders has thrown away a 30 point lead in NH for something between 7 and 15 depending on the poll.

If--huge if--Clinton overperforms like she did in 2008, that would be Clinton +3 to Sanders +5. Huge if. Rilly, rilly yuuuuge.

The closer she gets the more delegates for her and more away from Sanders. He already has a big climb with the number of super delegates who have endorsed Hillary. She will start rising in delegate count shortly and when she gets the magic number it will be over for Sanders.

for the Democratic primaries

Do you think she could pull ahead in the 3 days, or just close the gap?

With proportionate delegates, a win isn't critical except for the narrative ("Sanders Campaign in Serious Trouble&quot .

Personally, if it's anything under Sanders +10, I'm thrilled. It's a stronghold state for him, and anything that tight means he's actually in Serious Trouble even if they don't admit it or say it.

give it time to marinate. The Sec. is in Flint today to add emphasis to the water crisis which she brought to the closer of the Jan 17, debate.

New to the site and to the forum but I'm really glad to see a spot in the Universe where Dems for Hillary Clinton can express their support without being beaten over the head or immediately shouted down. What's up with that???

As a Democratic voter, I want the Dems to keep the WH and make up the losses we've taken elsewhere--in the Senate and House, of course, but in those state legislatures that have done so much damage to progress in women's issues and civil rights, etc. We cannot do that without retaining the WH. I like Bernie Sanders but there's only 1 electable candidate and that's Hillary Clinton who has spent her career fighting and winning change for people everywhere. Hillary's trip to Flint, Michigan today is a prime example of that spirit and underscores what happens when the bottom line for government officials is dollar and cents, not the welfare of its constituency. Our infrastructure is falling to pieces, particularly in poor communities. Flint is the tip of the iceberg. Hillary Clinton is sharing a chunk her donations for state and local elections, so we can reset the balance and begin to win the state/local contests that affect the lives of so many people.

These numbers from Franklin & Pierce are an indicator of what a fierce warrior HRC truly is and has always been. She can take it to the GOP and win the election for the Democratic Party. That's Numero Uno for me. And I suspect for everyone in this particular room. If we want to address social & economic inequities, we have to win first. There are no perfect candidates out there. But there are warriors. We have one who happens to be a woman. And that's a very good thing!

and to the Hillary Clinton Group, Peggy Sue!

Yeah, we're kind of restricted here at the moment. Moving outside this safe space is opening yourself to some really unpleasant commentary just for supporting Hillary Clinton for President. If you have a strong stomach, feel free. Personally, right now I'm staying here.

Post Super Tuesday, that should start to change. 2008 was less rancorous, but not much different.

Mrs. Clinton's encouragement (via support AND money) to downstream candidates is one huge reason I support her! In addition to her foreign policy chops, of course, and a dozen other things.

Thanks for the welcome, treant and shenmue. Appreciated. Nice to swim in warm waters.

Btw, I'm not looking for a win in NH. It would be nice. But if Hillary is able to shave this down to single digits, I'll consider it an impressive result. Beyond that? Then we're into epic proportions, leaving little room for argument and/or angst.

All the sweeter it will be when the votes come in.

neighbor thing will push him over the top. I've also reconciled that NH hasn't picked a Democratic POTUS since Carter. I'm reminded that Bill Clinton lost NH to Paul Tsongas, who was also a neighbor of NH. Whatever happened to Tsongas? You'll also remember that Barack Obama lost NH to Hillary in '08. We know how that turned out.

And for the record, George W lost to John McCain in NH. NH doesn't have a very good track record of picking nominees or Presidents.

Including those where Sanders is well ahead. NH is an extremely hard state to poll accurately because not only do residents of the Granite state tend to make up their minds late, they can switch from voting in the Democratic primary to the GOP primary and visa versa at the last minute.

That said I think that Bernie get a much smaller victory than expected and the will hurt his "momentum" going forward, though I fully expect the big mo to switch sides anyway in Nevada and South Carolina.

Come through each and every time!

And the women are going to turn out for Hillary - why jeopardize all eternity?

Sanders needed to clean Clinton's clock in Iowa and particularly New Hampshire where he was widely favored to win by a large margin. The Clinton clock is ticking and as time brings us closer to the big day (Sanders already lost a hoped-for-win in Iowa) it is looking like he can't pull it off. This means that his chance to be the leader of a political revolution is a Sanders fantasy.

I like this Hillary surge in NH. Even to come within 5-7 points would be great making up 20 points in 7 days.

From the trend leading toward Bernie (it doesn't, Bernie's lead has eroded seriously in NH and that shows across multiple pollsters and multiple samples), to the White House intervening to defraud the voters, to networks discontinuing exit polls and them doing their own.

Only one election eve poll forecast a Hillary win in NH in 2008. All others had Obama winning by a little or a lot.

She could squeeze this one out, or lose big. Or somewhere in between.

The polls are all over the place, but what I find encouraging is that the more recent polls show Hillary making up ground.
