morningfog's JournalWhen will the Democratic debates be? Who do you think will be in attendance?
There are tentatively six Democratic Primary debates to be held between now and January 2016. Four will be in the four early primary states -- NH, IA, SC and NV.
No dates are set yet. When do you think they will be and, more importantly, WHO do you think will attend the debates?
Will there be six Clinton/Sanders/O'Malley/Chafee match-ups? Will one or more from that list not participate or not be permitted to participate? Will Webb, Biden or others jump into the race?
What say you?
Will marriage equality become the law of the land tomorrow?
Supreme Court opinions remain outstanding on only seven cases for this term. Each of the seven are important, including redistricting, another ACA challenge, lethal injection and marriage equality. Opinions will be announced tomorrow, Friday and Monday.
Will marriage equality come tomorrow? Or will it have to wait one more weekend?
If Bernie is serious about winning, he needs to go negative.
He can maintain his authenticity and aggressively challenge Hillary at the same time. He had no qualms with taking on the monied interests, it is time he identified Hillary as part of the problem, by name.
I don't mean going negative as in mudslinging. Not like what Hillary did to Obama in 2008. But negative as in draw the distinctions, make it clear, use her name.
Hillary hopes to passively coast to a primary win. She wants to avoid and ignore any of the little challenges nipping at her heels. If Bernie is serious about wanting to win, he has to force Hillary to engage.
Maybe he has a plan to make that happen, but he doesn't have a lot of time. He's to hoping turns his lasted focus attack dog on his immediate challenge.
While we're at it, Mississippi's state flag needs to change
It still contains the confederate cross that is being removed from retail venues across the country.
Even worse than SC, it flies atop the Mississippi state house.
It has to go.
Suffolk University Poll Shows Sanders (31%) Closing Gap on Clinton(41%) in NH
Sen. Bernie Sanders is beginning to show some life against Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire with the Democratic presidential primary there less than eight months away, according to a Suffolk University poll of likely Granite State Democratic primary voters.
Clinton, the former secretary of state, was the choice of 41 percent, followed by Vermonter Sanders (31 percent), Vice President Joe Biden (7 percent), former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (3 percent), and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Sen. Jim Webb of Virginia tied at 1 percent. Fifteen percent of likely Democrats were undecided.
“Most political observers felt that Hillary Clinton’s large early lead among Democratic voters would eventually shrunk a bit over time,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. “But in New Hampshire right now, the lead has shrunk a lot, and this is a much different Democratic primary race than we are seeing in other states so far.”
The poll depicts a clear gender gap, with Clinton carrying women 47 percent to 28 percent but trailing Sanders among men 35 percent to 32 percent. Geographically, Clinton easily carried the central and highly populated southern counties of Rockingham and Hillsborough, but Sanders led 47 percent to 26 percent in the five counties in northern and western New Hampshire, including Cheshire, Coos, Grafton, and Sullivan counties—which border his home state—and Carroll County.
Although Clinton enjoys a 10-point lead statewide, she leads Sanders 38 percent to 35 percent among those who “know both” of the candidates.

This is a trend. Morning Consult was not an outlier: Hillary (44%); Sanders (32%).
I really like seeing the avid Hillary supporters going after Bernie
It's a thing of beauty and tells you all you need to know about the trends in Hillary's expensive internal polls.
This is going to be a great primary.
