Yang and Bennet have now dropped out of the race

Andrew Yang tells supporters he's ending his campaign: "You know I am the math guy, and it is clear tonight from the numbers that we are not going to win this race. I am not someone who wants to accept donations and support in a race that we will not win." https://t.co/V0W44DZca3 pic.twitter.com/bBH4CoXxqV

Let's see what happens in South Carolina. Buttplug and Sanders aren'ttoo popular down there

but it could well be Buttplug vs Bernie

and Little Pete isn't a moderate by any measure, I hope you all realize this

Votes Percent Delegates
Sanders 19,031 27.6 3
Buttigieg 16,015 23.2 3
Klobuchar 13,573 19.7 0
Warren 6,991 10.1

Biden 5,653 8.2 0
Yang 1,992 2.9 0
Gabbard 1,997 2.9 0

that's at 31%

just wanted to give you Biden and copypasted Yang in to give us Gabbard

another thing to consider, are any of the candidates who have fallen out of the race up to being in a possible future Dem Cabinet? (Not that I see any of the current crop winning in November vs Trump)

I'd hate to see what a Kamala Harris would do the Justice Dep for ex

Hillary's 2016 run crushed the chances of too many, and now they don't dare run I reckon. Not that I have any names to throw in

him getting the nomination

Just look at the last UK election, the US is rolling right down the same path

give it another couple of weeks and it'll be "Kill Bernie Now" mode at the DNC

You'd think after 2016 the DNC would have learnt the lesson and wouldn't allow an independent to run in their primary (and that's a lesson about AOC too). Why the hell won't they wake up to this very basic rule of running a party, I do not understand

No Borders Party, including members vs non-members?

@SilverKestral dunno, I'm going to try and find out but that tends to be the last thing they report

@Benjamin Henry I'm using realclearpolitics.com's

@SilverKestral 12:08 p.m.: New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner is predicting turnout of some 420,000 voters (292,000 Democratic ballots and 128,000 Republican ballots.) If he's right, that would be the most votes cast in a presidential primary featuring an incumbent president.

However, on a phone call with reporters Monday, New Hampshire Democratic chair Ray Buckley said, "I don't think anyone is predicting anywhere near the 2008 turnout. I think we will have a terrific turnout. It will certainly be higher than any other state in the entire nominating process. But there's no indication we'll match or be near 2008."

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/new-hampshire-primary-election-results-updates-tonight-2020-02-11/

but that's 9 hours ago

9:21 PM
To some extent, turnout is catching up to the 2008 Democratic primary. Looking at just the municipalities that have reported 100 percent of the vote, turnout is running 4 percent behind 2008, but 10 percent ahead of the turnout in the same places in the 2016 primary.

from fivethrityeight.com's coverage

also worth noting: independents can vote in this primary

Klobie is picking up 25% of the female vote according to exit polls, outperforming all other candidates

53% in:

Sanders 35,704 26.8 3
Buttigieg 31,283 23.5 3
Klobuchar 26,273 19.7 0
Warren 12,689 9.5 0
Biden 11,217 8.4 0

Bernie is slowing down

59% in:

Sanders 40,882 26.0 6
Buttigieg 37,531 23.9 6
Klobuchar 31,662 20.1 3
Warren 14,902 9.5 0
Biden 13,228 8.4 0

getting within the margin of error there, could Buttplug win the big towns and get 1st place?

GEOFFREY SKELLEY10:03 PM
You know, earlier tonight turnout looked to be lagging a bit behind the 2008 Democratic primary and slightly ahead of the 2016 race. But since then, it’s looking more likely it’ll match 2008. Looking at places that are 100 percent reporting and comparing their turnout in 2008 and 2016, the 2020 Democratic primary is now only 1 percent behind turnout in 2008 and is about 14 percent ahead of the 2016 primary.

64% in:

Sanders 44,508 25.9 6
Buttigieg 41,343 24.1 6
Klobuchar 34,458 20.1 4
Warren 16,247 9.5 0
Biden 14,451 8.4 0

the front 2 are converging in real time

you're welcome @Troye , elections coverage are my speciality

at least when I don't have a plane to catch the next morning, like during the UK one

Sanders 46,859 26.1 6
Buttigieg 42,778 23.8 6
Klobuchar 35,807 19.9 4
Warren 16,900 9.4 0
Biden 14,970 8.3 0

that's at 66% in, two thirds!

Bernie back up a bit, that was because the Durham results are in, with the Univeristy of New Hampshire comprised in there

Bernie is always going to win the college kids unfortunately

Among voters who prioritize beating Trump (about 6 in 10 voters said they preferred a candidate who could beat Trump over someone who agrees with them on the issues), exit polls have Klobuchar in third behind Buttigieg and Sanders, according to The Washington Post. Sanders leads among voters who prioritize issues, with 39 percent.

virtue signalling

Millenials and old ladies are addicted to virtue signalling, haven't you noticed?

all my older contacts in the US seem to want him to win

(they're in VA though)

until they discover his views on abortion, or that he's married to a dude

there's a ton of states where that won't fly

Blue Dog Dems are still out there

Yeah and he actually had him on stage in NH

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/feb/11/pete-buttigieg-gay-democrats-poll-reaction

that's him on the left of the picture

74% in:

Sanders 58,004 26.3 6
Buttigieg 53,167 24.1 6
Klobuchar 43,327 19.6 4
Warren 21,164 9.6 0
Biden 18,342 8.3 0

still close for the first two

ALL of the Dem candidates are to the left of Obama, make no mistake

They double down, because ideologically they bow down to the demands of the pure

and that's how you lose elections

oh it might work for a while, like in the midterms and the VA election, but once people see exactly what gets legislated (or not) and they still get called ist and phobe, how the hell do you keep people on board?

Dems have ZERO achievements from the House apart from the failed impeachment

USMCA was a Trump achievement, bipartisan

yep, also don't forget abortion isn't all that popular with Blacks

despite Black women being big users of that option

LIKHITHA BUTCHIREDDYGARI10:52 PM
Turnout tonight in some of New Hampshire’s biggest cities has handily surpassed 2016 numbers but fallen a little bit short of 2008 numbers. Looking at Manchester, Concord and Rochester, for example (where all of the vote is in), turnout this year is up 14.3 percent compared to 2016 and down 2.3 percent from 2008.

But, in the state’s five smallest cities (again, where all the vote is in), turnout this year was a lot less enthusiastic — up only 1.6 percent from 2016 and down 14.3 percent from 2008. More populated areas seeing a surge in turnout is consistent with what happened in Iowa last week and could speak to the continuing urbanization of the Democratic base.

82.5% in:

Sanders: 25.86%
Buttigieg: 24.12%
Klobuchar: 19.81%
Warren: 9.46%
Biden: 8.69%
Steyer: 3.51%
Gabbard: 3.22%
Yang: 2.88%

Total votes cast so far: 249,504

PERRY BACON JR.11:00 PM
I think Klobuchar is going to get more attention and scrutiny over the next 10 days. I wonder if the stories about her being mean to her staff register with voters. I doubt it. She comes off well in public. I met her on the Hill and she always was super-friendly with us reporters. When I heard from several people that she was one of the harder members to work for, I was shocked. She doesn’t project that. What I think will be more interesting is that she is not one of the more liberal members in the Senate. I would assume she has cast some votes for Trump nominees that will be easy fodder for her rivals.

the perils of having an actual voting record, and not being Bernie

AARON BYCOFFE11:16 PM
ABC has now allocated all 24 of New Hampshire’s delegates: nine each for Sanders and Buttigieg and six for Klobuchar. That brings the candidates’ delegate totals after the first two contests to:

Buttigieg: 23
Sanders: 21
Warren: 8
Klobuchar: 7
Biden: 6

I agree completely

jobs jobs jobs

"it's the economy, stupid"

come on last precincts in NH, let's hit 100% before 1 am EST

I wonder if the feminists are going to cluster around Klobie going into the next primaries, the hillary voters have a woman choice now

30% would be so hilarious

Trump can message really well at blacks, I'm convinced he can get some more endorsements from heroes of that community

plus the TurningPoint USA campaign

Mh Steyer and Gabbard are now ahead of Yang

bet the DNC won't let Tulsi back into the debate though

So of all these newly promoted / arrived in Gov, how many are Remainers? I hope there's hardly any

half surprised Penny Mordaunt didn't get a job back (she was DefMin for all of 2 months)
