of course, i also posted a link on here the other day, to a story about how polls are flawed...so who the hell knows? but sanders has been doing well in HN for some time, so i wasn't surprised that he won this one.
all i do know is, i don't like hillary any more now than i ever did.
also know that i cannot believe a candidate called another candidate a pu$$y, and then won a primary.

Except he didn't. A female audience member did, which he repeated and roundly castigated her for.
Side note: It would not have been as hilarious as it was, were it not completely true.

Funny how "the other candidate" is now running ads using children to lie, distort, and libel Mr. Trump's record. Mighty Christian of ya there, Teddy-boy.

Just read Clinton will leave NH with same number of delegates as sanders, even tho he won. She has six superdelegates. They could eventually move to support Sanders, but for now...they're hers.

Uncle Sugar supporters cry vote stealing, but they should embrace it as "vote redistribution." Or perhaps, "fairness."

We could see a 1968 style meltdown at the Democratic National Convention. I'll have my popcorn ready and a cold beer...

Care to substantiate that statement?

In short, if the very enthusiastic and supportive Bernie crowd continues to see their guy win primaries, and yet, somehow, due to super delegates, he does not come up with the majority and the nomination....people could react emotionally. This is understandable since not everyone understands the esoteric rules.

Hillary got the same delegates for New Hampshire as Bernie, and he beat her by 22 percentage points. Do that a few times and this will get tense.

Now the reverse is true - if Clinton starts really winning, then the will of the primary voters in the states and that of the delegates will not be misaligned, and all will be fine in the Democratic party. But a misalignment is a possibility from where we are now, looking forward.
