Intersting article about NH and what to look for in todays primaries (Clinton Group)

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/how-new-hampshires-democratic-primary-will-be-won-218985

The article points to areas of the state to watch - to see how things may be progressing today. They say, even with polling, the state may be hard to predict because a good chunk of the voters are either first time eligible, or those who have moved into the state since the last presidential primary.

According to the article, Hillary is working the strategy that elected Shaheen to the Senate, and Hassan as NH Governor, while Bernie is working the outer parts of the state and the VT border.


It will be interesting to see how these areas are voting today. County results map here:

excellent links.

While the other side continues its slew of posts on a Dem website disparaging Clinton, her campaign, her family, Dems in general and literally everything other than Bernie and his supporters, we stay focused on facts. Their nastiness will not stand them in good stead no matter what the outcome in NH.

But these links show what has to be done by our candidate to win - or even to come close. Whatever happens, I am with Hillary! All. The. Way.

New Hampshire really has been good to the Clintons!

Maybe one more time?

There is this one, last political office...

I've been looking for a way to follow whats happening in New hampshire and we all know how hard it is to find unbiased news. I know she is not supposed to win it but if she gets real close, it is a win for us. Cannot wait to get out of the Northern states and to South carolina. I hope the polling down there is right, and that she is able to hold on to her lead!

It has been predicted for quite a while that she would not win NH, and doesn't need to in order to secure the nomination. But, having said that, the media is in full coverage and everyone is watching, so she is working to blunt Sanders' advantage there. It will go a long way for people to see that the sizable advantage Sanders counted on was chopped into a much smaller chunk by our own Hillary Clinton. She is a force to be reckoned with, and the force is with her!
