Bernie will carry states like NH,VT, WI but it comes to the southern states Hillary should dominate those because she wins the non-white vote. I can see them going all out war for PA and OH.

Of course, it's hard not to see Clinton as heavily favored. I don't see a path to the nomination for Sanders if he can't gain more support. That's not to say that he couldn't, though. If I had to guess, though, my money would definitely be on Clinton.

Sanders ultimately needs to have a respectable showing, well above 40%, in states that have a decent black or Hispanic electorate (not like South Carolina, but like Ohio, for instance). If he can't do that, little chance of being nominee. Can't win states that are lilly white other than Iowa? No chance. Not to mention the delegates game is rigged for Hillary. As much as the Iowa result was good for Bernie, he actually needed to win that. Right now, Hillary still has a >80% chance of being the nominee.

Bernie will win. It's sad that people can be dumb enough to vote for Hillary.

The race needs to change in order for Sanders to have a shot.  Could winning New Hampshire change the dynamics of the race?  Possibly, but I'm not convinced.  Hispanics stuck with Clinton against Obama in 2008, after all.

At the moment, Clinton. It all comes down to how convincingly Sanders wins NH. If he wins by 5% or less, he's done. If he wins by 27%, as some polls have suggested, he'll have a major chance come Super Tuesday.

Until there's any evidence that Sanders is breaking through with minorities (and there is not, either from polls or from the results in Iowa, where Clinton won black precincts by huge margins), then Clinton is the obvious choice.

Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, two bailout firms, who have donated to Dems, said they arent supporting Sanders.
