(1,021 posts)Yeah, it's a possibility. But I think the national DP is so sensitive to accusations about this after Iowa that it certainly reduces the odds, and Hillary has been spinning the "NH doesn't matter anyway, plus it's in the bag for Bernie, it's his backyard, etc." narrative for weeks now to lower expectations. Not a huge incentive to cheat at this point (though that's not to say there's none). And although the polls have been all over the place, they are still far enough apart (in spite of narrowing) that a surprise Hillary victory would raise more than a few eyebrows. Of course, this is just my 2¢. I'm not dismissing the reality that there are some good reasons to wonder.
On a brighter note, one of the most recent polls that just came out had this little tidbit:
Which of the candidates who are running for the Democratic nomination would you NOT vote for under any circumstance?
HRC: 21%
Bernie: 7%
