FWIW - As of right now CNN shows Sanders won by 52,200 votes. (Clinton Group)

http://www.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/nh/Dem

Which is slightly less than the population of Sarasota Florida.

A 52 K win is a HUGE number in NH, and Sanders has every right to be thrilled with his historic win, but in other states, that is the entire population of a moderately sized city.

Just to provide a little perspective.
Stay the course folks. Good things are ahead.

It's time to get to the primaries that will lock this thing down.

The Party is going to start in Nevada and continue on to South Carolina. After South Carolina the party just gets bigger.

Only the pro-GOP U.S. media have tried to make it appear close. With open primaries in NH, and with the stated goal by prominent GOP-strategists and operatives to weaken Hillary in favor of a candidate they prefer to run against in the G.E., it's no surprise to me that she lost there. None.

However, Nevada is a closed primary election State. No flipping one's registration in order to vote against Hillary and then calmly walk to a table right there in the hall to return flip back to their true registration.

Let's see if Sanders can gain the majority of Mexican-American votes in Nevada when they find out he voted against the 2007 comprehensive immigration reform act and voted for the Republican amendment to shield the Minutemen from the Mexican government along the southern border.

Also, other than those two votes, he has completely ignored the Latino population.

Not much to love about him.
