Amazing isn't it? RobertEarl Feb 2016 #1

Among the actual Dems who turned out in NH, Bernie and Hillary split the vote. nt SunSeeker Feb 2016 #4

Imagine that in a democratic primary! Fearless Feb 2016 #9

Screw the independents we need to win in November! n/t JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #39

I wouldn't say that. But the NH Indies are not the same demo as the GE independents. nt SunSeeker Feb 2016 #42

True. I will say that without the NH indies, NH is most certainly a swing state come November. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #44

Where is the Sanders revolution? Gothmog Feb 2016 #2

He's winning RobertEarl Feb 2016 #5

For this so-called revolution to work, turnout needs to go up and so far it has gone down Gothmog Feb 2016 #15

The revolution RobertEarl Feb 2016 #22

This revolution keeps moving? Are you sure that there will be one? Gothmog Feb 2016 #25

Jeeez RobertEarl Feb 2016 #29

Here is Sanders definition of revolution Gothmog Feb 2016 #45

well RobertEarl Feb 2016 #51

No one's voting for Hillary either, all this says is right now the democrats are headed for a loss JRLeft Feb 2016 #43

Did Hillary promise a revolution? Gothmog Feb 2016 #46

She promised a victory. JRLeft Feb 2016 #47

Sorry, Bernie Sanders. There is zero evidence of your �political revolution� yet Gothmog Feb 2016 #49

I get where you are coming from now RobertEarl Feb 2016 #52

Sanders campaign is premised on this revolution which is not occurring Gothmog Feb 2016 #53

It's in front of your face. Bonobo Feb 2016 #11

Lower turnout is a revolution? Gothmog Feb 2016 #13

No, drawing independents into the party is though. Bonobo Feb 2016 #18

Hillary was nearly 20,000 below her 2008 votes. HooptieWagon Feb 2016 #28

Yup, and 40% were Independents in this Dem open primary. SunSeeker Feb 2016 #3

Goes to show Bernie attracts Indies RobertEarl Feb 2016 #6

Truly uncommitted voters, actual independents, are only about 10% of voters. SunSeeker Feb 2016 #8

LOL. And a pretty fucking important 10%! Bonobo Feb 2016 #12

Certainly, but the general electorate independents are not the same demo as the NH Indies. nt SunSeeker Feb 2016 #14

Some of them are. Bonobo Feb 2016 #19

Right-ooo RobertEarl Feb 2016 #16

No, we only see that NH Indies favor Bernie. SunSeeker Feb 2016 #27

Not only that RobertEarl Feb 2016 #31

Those younger women are not going to vote for the GOP in the GE. SunSeeker Feb 2016 #34

His intention was to say dems dont vote, he should have said they wont vote for HRC litlbilly Feb 2016 #40

She got 38% of the vote. That's about the same as she did in 2008 (when she got 40%). nt SunSeeker Feb 2016 #23

But she was running against 7 other candidates in 2008 Art_from_Ark Feb 2016 #30

This is the take away. Well done. Nt. Juicy_Bellows Feb 2016 #24

Based on the turnout numbers so far... TTUBatfan2008 Feb 2016 #33

Holy shit. That's absolutely ridiculous Number23 Feb 2016 #35

Well if that is the case, it can be attributed at least partly to the fact the party is so silvershadow Feb 2016 #38

Why would turnout be high OZi Feb 2016 #41

Well, a lot of the ones who did turn out voted for Sanders and shunned Hillary. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2016 #48
