So, why does Bernie do so much better than Hillary in New Hampshire, anyway???

[reformist2]

I think most everybody has the same answer: Bernie does so well in New Hampshire because they know Bernie better in New Hampshire than in any other state - except Vermont, of course.

So, they know Bernie better there than just about anywhere else.... let's think about that: It says a lot, doesn't it???

1. Looks like you answered your own question.

[orpupilofnature57]

2. Because they are intelligent people who Cherish Liberty .

3. Bernie is not doing so much better.

NH is tight. Surprisingly so since the demographics and location benefit Bernie greatly.

4. Because that's where the real democrats live nt

5. actually, the way the poll read, it is because repugs can vote in the primary too.

[NurseJackie]

6. So they want to help nominate the weaker candidate,

... that would give their preferred republican candidate a better chance. Those bastards ... very sneaky.

7. I am thinking, along with the already disgruntled white male voter, having a choice in Sanders.

You are going to have repugs voting cause they would rather run against Sanders and because they know Sanders is speaking to them.

But, it is a soft vote depending on them. Repugs have a tough time voting dem for any reason and I think they are gonna need to vote in their election because it is so fucked up. So, I think they will pull away losing a vote in repug to vote in Dem.

8. So much better? lmao. nt

[madokie]

9. Thats why the m$m

do what they do. If they mention Bernie at all they preface it with socialist, old, cranky or a whole host of other words trying to denigrate him.

Bernie is the man. simple as that.

10. ...or, name recognition?

A line the Sanders people keep using to explain Clinton's lead in every other State.

[JoePhilly]

12. lol!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Because it is the third least diverse state in the nation?

EOM

[MaggieD]

13. Bingo

14. I didn't bring it up. The seminal poster did.

I was looking at the most recent polling from FL, SC, and NC. Senator Sanders is polling at 10%, 11%, and 9% in those states among African Americans. The fact there are relatively so few African Americans in New Hampshire is going to substantially affect the polling

15. Easy one.

Because he's the better candidate.
