Except that Bartlet won NH since he was the governor there, he didn't need to campaign there so he could spend the money someplace else. Rubio doesn't have that advantage.
Oh really? Well, shit.
Big blow to Bernie. If she comes back with a surprise win in NH then its over no matter how his campaign spins it.

Do you really think Sanders will give up that easily, though? Ron Paul didn't throw in the towel until June '08, and I can't see Sanders or Sanders supporters conceding with the early primaries, even if they are his best shots.

I told myself I was going to stop posting in OT political threads until the election (or at least the primaries) are over with. I'm not doing well here.

He will stay in until it is mathematically impossible for him to win. Then probably a bit after that too.
New Hampshire is basically his best bet at a victory before Vermont. Demographically, regionally, the fact it allows independents to vote, everything lines up for him there. If he can't win with every advantage then it's over. He may not drop out at that time, but there's no spinning a New Hampshire loss.

Y'all heard Palin trying to justify her son's actions on his military service? Incredible.

See the Party does Decide, they just settled on Trump!
I am definitely eager to see the FBI's findings. If they come down hard on her, I will certainly factor that into my view of Hillary. That being said, if nothing is found, that really is the end of it.
I just hope that all of the Republicans that have argued that we need to pay attention to the ongoing FBI investigation acknowledge Hilldawg's innocence if they rule that she did nothing wrong. I know they won't, but I certainly hope the Clinton campaign sings their FBI found innocence from the rooftops if that is the case.

I see.. Thank you all. If somehow he wins NH.. What other states can he currently hope to win(besides Vermont of course)? As far as I recall it's Iowa and NH and then the electorate becomes more diverse and he's still not improved them by and large and these comments he made now certainly can't win him over more diverse support.
Just take a deep breath.. Let it go. I enjoy reading them though. It boggles the mind sometimes.
you know they would spin it as an Obama conspiracy.
So...business as usual?
I thought he lost NH? Hrmm....Yeah, they thought he was going to lose, but he did win. Nevermind then! Rubio's strategy is all around bad.

On Super Tuesday, Vermont is a given. Oklahoma is pretty white, so maybe there, Colorado or Minnesota.
I wouldn't give him good chances in any of these outside Vermont, but, demographically, they aren't going to be the devastation he's going to get in the rest of the SEC Primary.
There's not really any reason for him to get out with millions of $ in the bank, since traditionally people drop out when they run out of money; even less so given the campaign's recent 'party is suppressing us' rhetoric. After all, delegates are proportionately allocated so a close loss may result in a nearly tied delegate count, at least until Super Tuesday. After March 15 is when he would check out if he's too far behind (if he cares about party unity); otherwise he could stay in until the convention, if his donors keep donating.
Of course you could argue the opposite, a loss for Hillary in Iowa may only put her back a small amount of delegates, so mathematically it's not immediately concerning. It's more about optics and the "gale force winds of punditry" that even a small loss there would unleash for Hillary.
party don't care
If he loses IA and NH?
Vermont and that's probably it as far as "winning" goes. He would still do well and get delegates though.
Loses IA and win NH?
idk. any idea guys?

Unless there's a big shift in Bernie's support among african-americans, then no it's not too optimistic.

Having the FBI as evidence contrary to that will go a long way to blunting the right's argument towards independents.
Whichever states have the most liberals he should do well in or win.

That's amazing to me too.
I mean... its Palin - we all agree that's fucked. Was just trying to mine the hint of truth under the batshit.
Utah was also Cain's best state in 2012 before imploding, and Carson is still fighting for first place there according to recent polls. So...

It's fine. Ostern's the one who has a deep hole to climb out of. Sununu's a proven loser, though.
His name rec is so low so I wonder if that's an easier hurdle.
New Hampshire's one of those weird states where there are a lot more high-information voters than the national average though, so they'll learn all about him in the next year.
