So Bernie may be on track to get similar or more votes in the New Hampshire primary than....

...Trump and Kasich combined. I think Clinton's votes are on track to be similar to Trump's vote count.

This if from what I can glean online. Anyone got solid numbers?

I think that is a very very good sign for Bernie's type of excitement he can generate for a Democratic turnout in the coming fall.

I would love to see the absolute vote counts of both Iowa and New Hampshire when the the dust settles tonight.

Just the raw total of roughly 171k, which was below the GOP total of 190k...

The heavy speculation is that Sanders won the popular vote in Iowa. What is interesting is that Clinton hasn't refuted that by releasing her vote totals gathered with her campaign's app, or even refuted it in a verbal statement.
