New Hampshire

We have the results now, with Bernie Sanders finishing first, with Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar close behind.

They all should qualify for deleg for some delegates.

Neither Elizabeth Warren (4th) and Biden (5th) qualified for any delegates.

I think that both Warren and Biden are done.

Warren had much the same sort of advantages that Sanders did in New Hampshire, and finished very poorly, and Biden’s excitability argument has been left with more holes than Donald Trump’s cerebral cortex.

This leaves Bernie and 3 potential challengers, Klobuchar Buttigieg, and Bloomberg, who has not participated in the early primaries, because he is trying to buy the nomination.

I’m not sure if Klobuchar will have staying power, she was boosted by the New York Times half endorsement and the full endorsement of the Manchester Union-Leader, but the contests are moving to states that are less lily white, and both Buttigieg and Bloomberg have pretty egregious records of hostility to minorities.

South Carolina should be interesting.
