NYT: Elizabeth Warren Stands Out at New Hampshire Democratic Party Convention

[DrFunkenstein]

The New Hampshire Democratic Party State Convention drew 19 of the presidential candidates and some of the state’s most committed party activists — including more than 1,200 delegates — to its gathering here Saturday, offering an early test of campaign organization and enthusiasm in a contest that is traditionally a must-win for candidates from neighboring states.

This cycle, that includes Mr. Sanders of Vermont, who won New Hampshire by a wide margin in 2016, and Ms. Warren of Massachusetts, whose ground game is often regarded as the most extensive in a contest that party officials describe as still fluid — though Ms. Warren received the most enthusiastic reception of the day, with an opening standing ovation that stretched on for nearly two minutes.

Her supporters wielded inflatable noise makers and she received thunderous applause throughout her address.

“There is a lot at stake and people are scared,” she said. “But we can’t choose a candidate we don’t believe in because we’re scared.”

It’s a version of a line that Ms. Warren has deployed before, though it took on new significance when she deployed it Saturday, days before she faces off against Mr. Biden for the first time on the debate stage.

While many voters feel warmly toward Mr. Biden, some have also cited the perception that he is the most electable candidate in the race, rather than displaying outright enthusiasm for his campaign.

1. This made me laugh

“Pete, Warren and then Biden,” said Tim Ashe of Somersworth, N.H., referencing Mr. Buttigieg. “That may change.”

When asked why Mr. Buttigieg was his first choice, he replied, “I was looking at a Pete sign when I said it.”

He went on to say that “if I had to vote today, it would probably be for Warren,” pointing to his belief that she is “truly looking out for the little guy.”

The race is wide open. Biden’s support in the opening contests is soft and we’re going to see a lot of movement in the numbers. JMHO.

6. Here's where...

Someone jumps in to insist that Biden's support is not soft and we have to vote for him or Trump will win because he's the most electable.

Of course, if that was true it would go without saying.

8. Since it's early in primary season

I'm going to take this opportunity to speculate.
Warren takes Iowa,NH, close second in S Carolina, and then there's massive break in her favor that sets her up to
comfortably win the nomination.

4. She has immunized herself

against the orange menace. there is nothing he can throw at her now, she took his slings and arrows and threw them back in his face.

She is truly the champion of the people and will crush that turd with a load of policy.

5. Imagine How Flat The Whole Pocahontas Thing Would Fall Now

It's rich coming from a guy who got a $413 inheritance by lying to Holocaust survivors in Brooklyn and Queens about his "Swedish" father.

But, really, it's just a lame, racist joke that has gotten old fast.

7. So who didn't attend? Is there a list somewhere? Or are there only 19 left? nt
