What red states (like NH and KY) will fight to keep Bernie off the primary ballot.

[CK_John]

I hope he has a good legal team.

1. Nh is not a red state.

3. This Quirky New Hampshire Law Might Keep Bernie Sanders Off The Ballot

Former Rep. Charlie Bass, R-N.H., says that isn't enough evidence for the Vermont senator to make the cut, especially with his explicit rejection of the Democratic nomination in his state twice.

"In short, Sanders is not a Democrat, has not been elected as a Democrat, has never served as a Democrat and cannot plausibly claim, at least in New Hampshire, to be a Democrat," Bass wrote in a Washington Post op-ed.

5. Iteresting law.

He will challenge any ruling against him and my guess is he will win that challenge.

[CK_John]

6. If he and his team address this issue, but I don't think they will.

[hrmjustin]

7. Sure they will.

9. IMO, Bernie is a talker and not a doer, he will complain about it but not face the actual problem.

2. Why would they?

What's the implication? That conservatives don't want Sanders on the Dem primary ballot? That doesn't quite add up. They think Sanders is an embarrassment to the Democrats, so they'll want to see him in there all the way to the end, so they can talk about socialism and progressivism and liberalism and all the other isms, some of which have yet to be invented. Am I missing something here?

4. Force him to go IND, Gop wins in a 3 way election.

8. Sanders will not run as an independent, least of all to help out the GOPukes. n/t

19. Maybe the GOP wants to enforce the law, but don't care if it's Bernie...

the law may be useful to defend against Tea Party rogue candidates. If it sinks Bernie, they don't care.

10. Guessing won't really be necessary.

We will know soon enough. I highly doubt any will.

[CK_John]

11. You think the GOP won't take an opportunity to mess with our primary. Dream on.

[NCTraveler]

13. Bookmarking.

You seem to be missing something. Something very important.

[CK_John]

14. Like what, let us know.

[brooklynite]

12. I know!

None...

Or to put it another way: the same number of States that tried to keep Dennis Kucinich off the ballot in 2008.

[bunnies]

15. NH will do no such thing. And were NOT a red state.

Thanks for your concern.

[winter is coming]

17. A lot of people seem concerned about this, although the Sanders campaign doesn't

appear to be worried. Hmm...

[bunnies]

22. a lot of people (who dont support Sanders and dont live in NH)

Theyre super worried.

[winter is coming]

16. Um... wouldn't the GOP rather see Bernie *on* the ballot, since he's Clinton's closest challenger?

[R. P. McMurphy]

20. Learn to spell his name correctly and . . .

WRITE HIS NAME IN IF NECESSARY! (caps for emphasis, not shouting)

The bastards can make things difficult but they cannot thwart a determined electorate.

FEEL THE BERN! (that was shouting)

[CK_John]

21. Need a writein in our primary, it needs a legal challenge, end of story.
