That Sanders' campaign managed this feat despite a coordinated corporate media lockout of his message and a Democratic party establishment that continuously and completely arrayed itself against him is nothing short of the single greatest political feat in New Hampshire Presidential primary history, and perhaps the entire history of Presidential primaries in the USA.

Hillary Clinton's third place all-time showing in 2008 also utterly belies the completely disingenuous claim that New Hampshire's demographics were somehow uniquely favorable for a Sanders rout against Clinton. Clinton ran perhaps the second most successful campaign ever in New Hampshire Presidential primary history just 8 years ago and was given every advantage in this campaign, including the advantage of that experience.

1. But "they won't vote" or something.

2. Possible Error(?)

Why is Ronald Reagan listed as 25. with 53,569, yet Chimpy (26.) had 53,962 in 2004?

5. Another(?)

Where are Hillary's 2016 votes? 95K or so?

3. But...but...superdelegates....or something like that.

Good job Bernie!!

4. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, mhatrw.

11. I haven't heard a SINGLE corporate or public media outlet mention this extraordinary FACT.

Why not? All I have heard is all the reasons to expect Sanders to falter from now on. But not a single peep about how no other candidate of either party has ever come within 35.000 of Sanders' New Hampshire primary voting totals in the entire history of New Hampshire primaries.

You would really think somebody would mention this.
