Democratic New Hampshire primary results thread (polls close @7pm and 8pm ET)

[Zanas]

CNN tells that 22% of voters in the Dem primary made their mind in the last few days, 77% earlier. Good news for Sanders I guess.

[Zanas]

Sanders didn't write a concession speech. Remind me again who is supposed to want a coronation?

I cannot wait until Nevada and South Carolina. This man needs a major ego check

He probably did, but he isn't telling so to look confident. Geez.

Why are the results from Decision Desk and the other major news sources so different? Not saying either is wrong but...

Apparently they have guys actually on the field gathering reports at the source and reporting quicker than via the SoS bureaucracy. Or they are wizards with owls.

Trump vs Sanders in November 2016... Are you kidding me?

There are other primaries on the Dem side, in case you didn't know.

Bernie Sanders is looking at a margin that could win him a 5-3 delegate ratio in some if not all counties. He needs around 57% in each county for that, and he's around that in all of them right now, though it's still very early.

The counties are irrelevant, it's whether he gets 56.25% of the 2 candidate vote in each congressional district that matters.

Ah my bad. Is there somewhere where the votes are reported by CD ? Or do the CDs regroup entire counties, in which case : which ones ? Or I can google that...

Thanks mate.

So Bernie is now winning both CDs with a 5-3 count, and At-large 3-2.

Clinton just made a "whatever" speech. Good one though. Could have had more than half a word for her victor tonight, but hey.

[Zanas]

Sanders is making a speech as a future nominee. It's a smart move. All he can hope for is building enough momentum with what seems like a landslide win to appear as the new inevitable candidate.

[Zanas]

Sanders has a 20.5 pt edge. It's even at 22 pt on the Decision Desk. I never thought it would be that much of a landslide. I expected quite the contrary, that it would tighten to a 54-46 or so.

Well one prediction was right : we got a bunch of butthurt Clinton fans tonight!

[Zanas]

So Hillary got 39.09% in 2008. It now looks like she won't even achieve that this year... Tough.

[Zanas]

I don't give a sh**t about this tiny ass state that just like Iowa doesn't represent most of America. Too white, too liberal and far too few people. Hillary is gonna dominate Bernie in 3 weeks. Super Tuesday baby!

[Zanas]

On the Dem side, the closest pollster was NBC/Marist with a 58-38 poll published late last week.

[Zanas]

May I say this to all: what's with this "butthurt/butt hurt" epithet?  It makes me think of emotionally stunted young males who were born post-Y2K and who think pubic hair on women is gross.  Stop it, will you.

And as for Clinton vs Sanders, keep this in mind: even if she lost, Hillary still outpolled Trump's victory share.

That's a little like apples and oranges, no ? She didn't outpoll her 2008 score, which is lame. How the hell did she manage that, if Sanders is this unelectable ?

[Zanas]

Well, calling it a night. 5 AM here and I got work later...

Was a good night !
