New Hampshire IS his political back yard, after all -- just as South Carolina is Hillary's. What happened in Iowa is significant because it didn't belong to either of them.

She is way ahead in super delegates and has little chance of catching her unless something happens. The big thing is Dems think she is our best chance to win in 2016.

They like Bernie, so do I, but Hillary is their best chance.

"Clinton leads Sanders by 12 points — 51 percent to 39 percent among Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters across the country."

"Last week, in the final days leading up to the Iowa caucus, 72 percent of Democrats said that regardless of whom they supported in their state’s primary or caucus, Clinton would be the eventual nominee. A quarter said Sanders would win the eventual nomination. This week, that opinion is largely unchanged after the close contest in Iowa—where Clinton barely edged out Sanders."

Sanders needed big--as in huge--win in Iowa and NH to even have a shot at the delegate numbers. He didn't do it in Iowa. So, regardless of how NH turns out, the primaries favor Hillary Clinton for the nomination. Always has.
