It's a win for Bernie and everyone knows it.

Look at the expressions/emotions of the crowds behind Hillary and Bernie during their speeches.

Look at Bill and Chelsea. I grabbed the frames that showed up as stills on my twitter feed and here's what they show. I'm sure if you watch the speeches this is what you'll see since you can see Hillary is in full speech mode and Bill and Chelsea are just meh.

Then look at the smiling faces behind Bernie. And if you watch the video the crowd breaks out in a "Feel the Bern" chant.

and kick off their shoes, it's clear they are not elated.

This was a defeat for Hillary. No question about it. They wanted to put Bernie behind them for good and this showed that he is not only here to stay, but he may very well - and I think he will - win the nomination.

Bill knows. Bill knows Bernie has pulled off the impossible and Bill's chances of getting back into the White House is practically what is now impossible.

BBC America said the race was too close to call at 12pm, but BBC did say: "Bad night for Hilllary". Bill knows.

Thanks for the thread, cui bono. On to New Hampshire!

The Queen was supposed to waltz through and with a flip of the wrist be declared winner without competition.

Well Baby...there was some kick ass competition and it's not going anyplace.

Onto New Hampshire!

After finishing his speech, you could kinda see in background, but as he walked the rope line you could see the dudes working as his new Security Detail.

Happy to see it. Finally.

On to New Hampshire!!!!

(which we should not let them forget) and then a DUer did the very same thing. Arrogance chomping at the bit.

I am constantly amazed at Bernie's ability to zero in on the central fact of any situation. Before anyone knew what was happening, he declared it, correctly, a "virtual tie."

A tie this night was a win for Bernie.

So yes, I think a coin-toss tie between Hillary and Bernie is a huge win for a guy who was essentially given NO chance to win when he entered the race.

I would be happy to vote for ANY Democratic nominee and I would be happy to vote for Hillary if that's what it comes down to. But I am so thrilled that Bernie's message is obviously resonating. He is so genuine--I love the fact that, despite the way the media have ignored the size of his crowds and the strength of his support, he has done so well. He is saying things that people have been wanting to hear for so long.

Several weeks ago, Hillary was inevitable. Not any more.

The establishment has been taken by surprise. They've run this country so poorly for the last three and a half decades that by now America is anti-establishment. We, the People, are sick and tired of being ignored, we are sick and tired of being told that the establishmentians know best so we should be happy when we are put out of work or have our life savings robbed by the bank where our money was supposed to be safe, we are sick and tired of being roadkill hit by Cadillacs and Rolls Royces. We are humans made of flesh and blood; artificial persons are made of legal papers and money. We matter; they don't.

Let the Imperial Court take notice: The orgy is over. We can take it from here. We got this. We can run the world better than they ever could.

Power to the people.

She even called out the Old Dog to campaign around the state for her,
and it was still a toss up.

BIG embarrassment for both Bill and Hillary.
Time for a real "change".
