With polls showing Bernie Sanders ahead in New Hampshire and barely behind, if at all, in Iowa, the former president is urging his wife to start looking toward the delegate-rich March primaries – a shift for an organizing strategy that’s been laser-focused on the early states.
“I just don’t understand what that means”.
“I believe anyone that looks at Secretary Clinton’s campaign and our campaign objectively … can say this campaign has the energy, the momentum, and can generate the voter turnout to bring us to victory”, Sanders told the crowd. (By comparison, Hillary Clinton led Trump by 10.) So should red state Dems be concerned about a potential (and longshot, as we noted yesterday) Sanders nomination?
Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton gestures during the NBC, YouTube Democratic presidential debate at the Gaillard Center, Sunday, Jan. 17, 2016, in Charleston, S.C. To the right is Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. She is doubling down on her commitment to being Obama part 2, and using foreign policy fears to appeal to a vanishing voter base.
“Familiarity and favorability are winning the day for Bernie Sanders”, said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. “Planned Parenthood does so much on the front lines to provide women and men health care, often low income people, people who don’t have any alternative”, she said.
While New Hampshire voters also prefer Clinton over the GOP’s outsider candidates, hypothetical matchups against Rubio and Kasich yield tight races.
According to the CNN/ORC poll, Sanders’ success in the state is because of the popularity of his economic message. She has been caught in several lies regarding the private account, and has fallen back on parsing words, in old-style Clinton fashion.
More aggressive Ms Clinton’s more aggressive stance towards her rival, who she barely mentioned at campaign events even two weeks ago, coincided with a CNN/ORC poll that put his support at 51 per cent among likely Democratic voters in Iowa, to her at 43 per cent. The author, Nadya Agrawal, notes how the people in the audience are primarily white, but strategically so since the intended audience is both in New Hampshire and Iowa.
The Sanders campaign wasted no time to return fire against David Brock, the head of the pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC Correct the Record.
