You're the gracious one.

I'm an asshole.



That's why I limit my support for Bernie to donations, a bumper sticker and a vote.

When they ask for volunteers to make phones calls or go door to door my answer is "No fucken way!". I'd turn off every voter I talk to.

I don't want anybody following me.

Despite Hillary's shellacking in New Hampshire, she will likely go home with more delegates than Sanders. I guess Sanders is right about the system being rigged.

Though Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton, he will likely receive fewer delegates than she will.

Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.

New Hampshire has 24 “pledged” delegates, which are allotted based on the popular vote. Sanders has 13, and Clinton has 9, with 2 currently allotted to neither.

But under Democratic National Committee rules, New Hampshire also has 8 “superdelegates,” party officials who are free to commit to whomever they like, regardless of how their state votes. Their votes count the same as delegates won through the primary.

New Hampshire has 8 superdelegates, 6 of which are committed to Hillary Clinton, giving her a total of 15 delegates from New Hampshire as of Wednesday at 9 a.m.

The state’s 2 remaining superdelegates remain uncommitted.

In the overall delegate count, Clinton holds a commanding lead after a razor-thin victory in Iowa and a shellacking in New Hampshire. Clinton has 394 delegates, both super and electorally assigned, to only 42 for Sanders.

Super delegates are fungible. Ask Obama.

Yeah, if they get too close, just shoot the fuckers!

These early contests aren't about delegates so much as they are about perceptions and expectations.

Hillary is losing her perception of inevitability and Bernie has, so far, been exceeding expectations.

I am looking forward to seeing how much of a bounce Bernie gets in South Carolina and Nevada. He has a lot of ground to make up.

The next two states on the primary calendar, Nevada and South Carolina, are thought to constitute a barrier that could protect Clinton from the Sanders surge. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Clinton is ahead by nearly 20 points in Nevada where Democrats will vote on Feb. 20. She also has a nearly 30 point lead in South Carolina where members of the party will head to the polls on Feb. 27.
