Polls in IA and nationally tightening, props for Bernie from Diamond Joe, MoveOn endorsement. This Democratic primary may not be a slam dunk after all.
If Bernie wins IA and NH, then things could get interesting. It will depend on what happens in SC and elsewhere, but if the narrative starts to change, then the polls may follow.

Hilary does have a smug smile and it annoys me. I see Sanders is ahead in NH. NH and Iowa are mostly white and he comes from a state that is around 98 white. How will he go down with black and Hispanic voters when the real campaign starts? That's the big issue

New Hampshire's proximity to Vermont is the significant factor, not that it is white.

As for Hillary, my problem is that she typifies everything about weather vane politicians that make me so cynical of the whole process. I'm sure she'll make a decent President, but I just don't expect she'll try as hard as Bernie to fulfill her election promises to the middle class and the poor.

Why not, he polls as well as or better than Clinton against all the GOP front runners.

It's just the "America would never elect a Socialist" trope. Just like America would never elect a Catholic, or America would never elect a Kenyan Communist Muslim - err I mean America would never elect a black man.

I think Sanders shares many similarities with FDR, who America elected four times, so we'll see how this one plays out.

Lindsey Graham was doing a pretty good Barry Goldwater impression until he took his ball and went home.
