I have been in New Hampshire, for about fifteen minutes.  We were staying in Boston and decided to drive up the coast to Maine.  We stopped in Portsmouth, Maine so we could chalk another state off our been there, done that list.  For a long time I didn’t even realize I had been in New Hampshire.  I think that describes the New Hampshire primary.  A lot of people go there in the hopes of arriving someplace else.

This time New Hampshire matters more than ever, but probably not in the way most people think.  While all of the attention is on the Republican race, that probably won’t change much, at least at the top.  It will send a lot of people home, which is a good thing.  But the real question tonight is how Hillary Clinton does.  If the polls are accurate, she is about to suffer a humiliating loss.  That may change everything. It is increasingly clear that the FBI is close to recommending an indictment.  If Hillary wins in New Hampshire or even comes close, the Obama administration try to find some way to delay things until after the election.  But if she loses, the opposite may be true.  It is a lot easier to kick someone when they are down.

Some top Democrats may want to see an indictment so they have time to draft a Joe Biden before it is too late.  Yes, things are THAT desperate.   It is pretty obvious that if Bernie Sanders gets the nomination the Democratic Party is headed toward a catastrophic defeat.

By the way, did anyone notice Bill Clinton?  He looked awful.  This is clear evidence that the Hillary Clinton campaign is desperate.  In addition to all the obvious baggage he looks old and feeble.  He also hasn’t been that sharp. For example, he said that sometimes he wishes he wasn’t married to Hillary so he could speak more clearly.  Not quite sure what he meant by that.  Ouch.
