It’s the first time Sanders has surpassed Clinton in New Hampshire. It won’t be easy.

Some of them say there are enough black Democrats in the state who are still turned off by the Clintons’ approach toward Obama in the 2008 primary to make a Biden candidacy welcome in the Palmetto State.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at the Iowa Democratic Wing Ding on August. 14, 2015 in Clear Lake, Iowa.
And Clinton remained defiant when speaking to reporters at the Iowa State Fair later on Saturday afternoon, dismissing any suggestion that she was taking the controversy too lightly. “I am not the only candidate for President who holds progressive values”, he said, “but I am the only candidate for President with 15 years of executive experience – as a big city mayor and as a governor – turning those progressive values into actions”.
“I won’t pretend that this is anything other than what it is – the same old partisan games we’ve seen so many times before”, Clinton said.
Or because the vice president long ago won the affections of two divergent pillars of South Carolina politics, delivering the eulogy for the state’s longtime Republican Senator Strom Thurmond, and bonding with his former Democratic colleague, Senator Fritz Hollings. If that is allowed, rest assured there will be no evidence of the Benghazi murders or Huma Abedin’s conflict of interest, because those emails were not produced by Mrs. Clinton and are no doubt among those she may have successfully destroyed.
A growing number of voters appear interested in Sanders’ unapologetic message and willingness to challenge Washington orthodoxy.
Chuck Sweetman said he’s happy with the competition Clinton is suddenly getting from Sanders.
DES MOINES | Jim Webb pitched his bipartisan bona fides to the Iowa State Fair crowd. It’s a city that respects the past. The Iowa caucuses come first on February 1. It’s the very same ballroom where the Democratic presidential beauty contest took place Friday night.
KARL (voice-over): But in the most intriguing new development, Platte River Networks, the Colorado company that set up Clinton’s server, told ABC News it’s highly likely that a full backup of the server was made, meaning those thousands of e-mails she deleted may still exist.
“She has a lot of experience, and she’s a woman”, explained Lynel Helmers, a Mason City stay-at-home mother. She says she never knowingly sent classified information, but Ms. Clinton leaves out that the whole reason federal officials are barred from using private servers is that such systems are invisible to the classification process.
Clinton didn’t disappoint, touching every political base. But Clinton’s senior advisers at the State Department would have been briefed upon basic protocol for handling classified information and retaining government records.
Hopefully the server will one day be able to testify on its own behalf: “I was just following orders”. The bureau does investigate criminal abuses of them – by people. “We’re not going into a bunker”, Scarborough said.
Hes always been right on these issues but now hes talking about them even more, she said.
That’s not what Sanders backers are saying, and they were easy to find.

Sanders offers a different kind of energy, a passion borne of a lifetime’s worth of uphill struggles and a zest for intellectual combat.
