We have a secret of our own for Bernie Sanders:

Your odds in New Hampshire aren’t that good.

"Let me tell you a secret," Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said over the weekend, foolishly outlining his secret in front of members of the media. "We’re going to win New Hampshire."

That's quite a secret! Bernie Sanders is also keeping that secret from the polls.

The New Hampshire primary is -- say it with me! -- a long time from now, and a lot can happen between now and then. There's only been one poll in the state since Sanders declared his candidacy, according to Real Clear Politics, and it gave Hillary Clinton a narrow 44-point lead over the senator from Vermont.

We'll come back to that. First, let's look at the state of play in New Hampshire back in 2008. Over the course of 2007, Hillary Clinton generally had a decent-sized lead -- as she did nationally. The race in New Hampshire tightened in August, but Clinton started to gain ground late in the year. Then Obama took Iowa and seemed poised to do the same in New Hampshire. That was the first point at which it seemed like Clinton might lose the state.

Warren and Biden both saw no path to victory, but the 'anyone buts' will never face reality.

Hillary just needs to hammer a couple last nails, and she will be debating - the Republican nominee.
