Hillary Clinton wins tonight as long as race isn't called when the polls are closed

The exit polls and recent polling results indicate a landside victory for Bernie Sanders. I will consider it a win for Hillary Clinton if NH isn't called right away for Bernie Sanders.

Early Congrats to the Bernie Sanders's supporters on an upcoming landside 30%+ victory in NH. Nevada will be a different story.

You tried that 30% thingy elsewhere. pangaia Feb 2016 #3
Expect it to be very close. Bernie wins BIG if he can get 53% of the vote. Cheese Sandwich Feb 2016 #4

Hillary wins in Iowa, even if it's by 2/10 of a point and the Des Moines Register writes an editorial about something smelling in the Democratic Party afterward.

Hillary wins in NH if Bernie wins by a landslide and the election is not called before polls close.

Whatever gets you through the night

. . . are you Bernie supporters thin-skinned. After all of the moving goalposts and hand-wringing on the night of the IA caucuses, now it's snark and "whatever gets {Hillary supporters} through the night," eh? Oof.

NH has been Hillary's home away from home since the early 90s.

That 30+% figure cited in the OP comes across as an attempt to lower expectations. It will be a decisive result, but I don't anticipate it being anywhere near that.


Now "win" = "lose, except..." in DUspeak, apparently.
