(2,212 posts)... I'm still on the edge of my seat here. The media have been repeating the message that if Clinton comes within 10% of Sanders, it will be a victory, of sorts, for her. On the other hand, if Sanders can beat her by 15%--or better, 20%--it's going to be a major blow to the HRC campaign.
Right now, Bernie's got Hillary by 14%, with 12% of the votes counted (56% to 42%).
So am I alone? Is anyone else GLUED to the results and holding his or her breath?

(2,212 posts)I'll be pleased if he can maintain 15% above or more.
Glad for the company, Tien.

(41,600 posts)I'm hoping it is so Clinton can't pretend she "really won" or she's the "comeback girl."
He's winning the WOMEN'S VOTE! By a large margin! Not just young women, ALL WOMEN!

That's INCREDIBLE!
Old Crow
(2,212 posts)You're right: If Clinton comes within 10%, she'll be all over the news websites with a "COMEBACK GIRL!" speech.
Please please please, New Hampshire. 15% or more!

(2,212 posts)Whoever had the bright idea of making the most important information on the page--the percentage of votes each candidate has garnered--darn near invisible?
The percentages are within the red box, which I had to add so you'd know where to find them.
Grrrrrr!

(2,212 posts)If he can hang on to an 18% lead, there's no way that can be reported as anything but a thudding reality-check for Team HRC.
