Gov. Hassan: Clinton just might beat Sanders in N.H.
Susan Page, USA TODAY 6:50 p.m. EST February 4, 2016
CONCORD, N.H. — Gov. Maggie Hassan, Hillary Clinton's top supporter in New Hampshire, thinks it's just possible she'll be able to repeat her stunning finish in the 2008 primary and defeat an opponent who holds a wide lead going into the campaign's final days.
"I've seen her in lines when people come up and told her they've lost a child due to the opioid crisis, and the connection is real," Hassan told Capital Download when asked about lessons from the campaign eight years ago against Barack Obama. Then, Clinton's emotional exchange with a Granite Stater prompted some voters to take a second look. "I think she's doing everything she needs to do here."

In an interview with USA TODAY's video newsmaker series, Hassan at first declined to predict the primary results but then added: "I do know the people of New Hampshire are seeing the committed, dedicated, strong person" in Clinton who has plans to improve the economy and battle the Islamic State. "People are listening to that and doing what New Hampshire voters always do, which is making up their last minds as they head into the voting booth."
So she might win?
"Could be," the governor replied.
Whatever happens in New Hampshire, she said she was "very confident" Clinton ultimately would be the Democratic nominee.

And on Sanders, she said, "I think he is identifying what is so frustrating to the people," which is a belief "that corporate special interests have really rigged the system for themselves and against the middle class. ...
"Sanders has done a good job of identifying the problem and tapping into real frustration. But at the end of the day, you have to do something with that frustration to create change, and that's where Hillary Clinton's record is unparalleled," she said. She sees Clinton's impact in her own life, crediting Clinton's early work with the Children's Defense Fund with helping to change the opportunities available for her 27-year-old son, Ben, who has cerebral palsy.................................

It seems an outside possibility, but if her numbers keep climbing who knows?
Still, the fact that she is cutting into Sanders' lead in NH is enough to blunt the momentum he needed to have any legs forward.
Go Hillary!
