1. The man is on fire. Woohoo

2. Need links for these type deals, please.

If you have link at your blog please provide it here.


I am not at all surprised by this, now.

I would have been a month ago.

Bernie way well be our next president, but the way I look at it, it will be either him or our first Woman president, a liberal at that.

win win

3. Priceless picture of Chris Christie at above link.

4. He maybe peaking too early. I wish he'd have caught fire later. What's going to happen next is

that they'll look into his past and try to find some scandal then he'll either have to drop out or lose. Bernie is just too good and too right for them not to try him like that.

19. they will try to make up something

and that means if they do they are frightenend of him

5. Why should I be shocked? Sanders supporters keep telling me this is just name recognition

[phleshdef]

6. Bernie is running right into the media fire pit and coming out unburned.

People admire that and if he wins the nomination, that will be why.

7. Within 10 points? Clinton 42%, Sanders 32%

Why not just say 10 points and give the MOE? Would be more informative.
Also, wouldn't one expect that Bernie would be closer than that or even ahead in a neighboring state? I realize that NH is probably a bit more conservative but still.

8. Just had a hardcore right winger tell me

Sanders is unelectable because he is not good looking and old.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

11. The wingnuts voted for McCain who was probably older?

[former9thward]

14. McCain was 72 at the time of the 2008 election.

Sanders will be 75 at the time of the 2016 election.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. so

2 years ain't gonna make much difference

[former9thward]

20. Among people who do not care about age.

I do. I would never vote for somebody that age for president.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. That age! 70 is the new 50

[Persondem]

9. You got the numbers wrong. Trying too hard me thinks.

It's Clinton with 44% with Bernie at 32% with MoE of 6%. Link here.

[former9thward]

13. No, a newer poll has him at 10 down.

[Persondem]

15. Yep. You are correct. I was just looking at it so nice timing

The thing is that both of those polls combined sampled less than 800 people. Could be real, could be a trend, could be statistical noise.

[former9thward]

16. Well 800 people is actually a high number for a state poll.

Especially a small state like NH. I wish they would quit putting in Biden's name. He is not running. If he runs then put his name in. I don't know where Biden's votes in these polls will go but they will go somewhere.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

10. That's what I like to see!

It's working!

[swilton]

12. Cautiously optimistic

NH is a neighbor of Vt; it's a given that they favor one of their own...Yet still its mix of 'live free or die', wealth and with the wealth income inequality (Keene's has homeless and food shelters, unemployed veterans, etc.) may make these figures representative.

17. For your Republican Friends

22. I hope Sen Sanders has a thick hide, and a clean background

because he is about to get tens of millions of dollars in negative paid media dumped on him.

and Sidney Blumenthal and the other Clinton "Dirt Devils" will be combing his background looking for anything they can use.
