Hillary Clinton’s scripted campaign is starting to make New Hampshire mad

42. I'm not puzzled at all by this.

Clinton is in NH getting ready to begin her campaign there. Her strategy is to start with small, private meetings, but there's already a different sort of event planned for early June. I don't think the location has been revealed yet, though.

Her meeting in NH got some press. No surprise there. And given the need for pundits to engage in punditry, it's being analyzed and picked apart. Doesn't matter a damn bit, really. As you say, it's likely that Clinton will win the NH primary. I'd be surprised if she didn't. Sanders will probably come in second. What's important is what percentage of the vote he ends up with. If it's a close second, he'll be encouraged and some additional donors will kick in.

None of this matters yet. Not even a little bit. It will start mattering this Summer and Fall. Until then, it's just punditry and noise. Really, everything is just that at this point. Interesting to political wonks like DUers, but unimportant, really, in terms of vote-getting. If I were a columnist or major political blogger, I suppose I'd be writing about this stuff, too. But I'm not. I post on a minor political forum and that's all. My real political work is done where I live.

All of this talk right now is simply amusing, really. It means little.
