Democratic New Hampshire primary results thread (polls close @7pm and 8pm ET)

Better said: In 2008, the GOP primary saw 60% of ballots cast and now it's 69%.

So more Indies are voting in the GOP primary than the Dem primary, but it's still early.

Final Pre-New Hampshire Democratic Primary Map:

Rhode Island won't vote for Sanders if Massachusetts and Connecticut don't.

[Holmes]

Well, not the best news for Sanders. Still a comfortable win.

IIRC, OC had something in his profile about Hillary being the 'comeback kid' in NH like Bill Clinton and Kerry. Not sure if that means a predicted win, though.

Well Bill didn't win NH, so I don't think he meant that she'd win... but Hillary's not behind so there's no way she can get a "comeback kid" narrative from the media even if she performs better than expected. Another dumb OC post.

According to the CNN website, Coos County will likely have less than 100 Democratic voters

% of precincts, not total votes.

If the 30-64 numbers are close to 50-50, it's a single digit win for Sanders. I think he'll probably win that age demographic by about 10%, so I'm guessing he'll win the state by 10-12%.

To all the people who say the Democratic Party isn't moving left. THAT definitely would not have been the case 10-20 years ago.

NH voters are tree huggers all the way. Same for Iowans. 2nd and 3rd most demographically friendly states to Sanders.

Mmm. Maybe among Democrats but NH is probably the most right-leaning state in New England

[Holmes]

Congrats to Sanders. Tougher fights ahead.

The rest of America has just started tuning in.  A long speech is the best thing he could do.  It makes him look viable that the networks are covering him for a half an hour and that he is hitting all his talking points. 

Sanders isn't electable.

He may be the most electable Democrat in decades. With Clinton you won't independents, so you have already lost the general. Plus no connect with the youth to make the loss every bigger!

Sanders is the only hope now anyways!

Just plain wrong. If you are still here in October I will prove it to you.

You can't. Hillary is the most un-electable Democrat candidate I have seen in the last 30 odd years. Kerry, Gore, who lost were a MUCH MUCH better candidate than Hillary. There is reason why Sanders has clawed back so much & why a rookie like Obama beat her. Atleast Bill was a great orator!

Hillary is ten times the orator of Bernie. He usually comes off as an angry man.

And he doesn't understand any political issue other than the ones he rambles on about in his stump speech. Get him to talk about any foreign policy issue and he embarrasses himself. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
