    With 62% reporting. THese aren't final results. I'm assuming you know that.

      This is not good for anybody not nicknamed "Mayor Pete". I only saw like one poll out of a thousand that had Buttigieg in the lead and I think it was one of his relatives that commissioned it.

      St. Bernard of Vermont allegedly had all of the momentum going into the last week, so this isn't good for him although he will most likely win NH.

      Warren could have used at least a strong 2nd place showing. Instead she's quite a bit off the frontrunners which makes NH even that more important.

      Uncle Joe's Zombie campaign shuffles on due to the muddle but he now lives and dies with the unpredictable Nevada caucus. Presumably he can still bank South Carolina because of his strong African American support but if he goes 1 for 4 in the first contests I'd expect his supporters to get more comfortable with Mayor Pete or Mayor Bloomberg!

        Correct.

        Klobuchar only lost 700.
        Steyer lost 1600.
        Yang lost 4600.

          That makes sense because Yang and Steyer, and Klobuchar for that matter, had a huge hill to climb to get to 15%. I'm guessing 90%+ precincts had Steyer and Yang below 15%.

            Nevada has the big hotel employees union that should be good for Biden. It has a high Latino population; I have no idea who that's good for outta these people, but I do know whoever our nominee is had better name Abrams or Castro and their running mate.

              Which backs up my thinking from 6 months ago that if you want to get Biden out Mayor Pete is the best possible option. Assuming Pete doesnt win he is going to have his pick of jobs for the winner.

                    Yes, Pete is good for splitting Biden's vote. Now combine with Warren fading relative to Sanders and good god Bernie might actually have a shot. I cannot imagine this party having to adjust to sincere liberalism again for the first time in 50 years. It's gonna pull something.

                    So far this is very good news.

                      538 has a chart showing how many precincts candidates weren't viable in.

                        Just another reason that I'm really glad I rarely watch live TV.

                          I agree Castro is our Rubio, but as Veep he'd be OK.

                            Have many of you gone to political events? I live fairly close to NH and am going to try to make a few in the next week. Are they worth going to?

                              I attended one of Obama's Iowa primary campaign stops in a rural elementary school cafeteria in December of 2007. A real intimate experience with the candidate, and although it was mostly supporters, some good questions. A good feel for what primaries are like, with wintry weather, bad roads and a tiny town venue in the middle of nowhere. Must suck for candidates. I don't know how they stay healthy.

                                I went to an Obama primary event in February of 2008 with a few thousand people in the old Bangor Auditorium. I think 7000 people showed up and they had room for like 5500. You could really sense the feeling of hope from the crowd. Totally worth it. I felt like I was part of history.

                                In 2004 while in grad school I had gone to see John Edwards when he spoke on campus as VP candidate. Totally different. No real excitement.
