Sanders Pulls Away In New Hampshire [Click] “A new CNN poll in New Hampshire finds Bernie Sanders leading the Democratic presidential race with 25%, followed by Joe Biden at 16%, Pete Buttigieg at 15% and Elizabeth Warren at 12%. They are followed by Amy Klobuchar at 6%, Tulsi Gabbard at 5% and Andrew Yang at 5%.”
It is particularly telling when Bernie is doing better than Elizabeth in NH, of all places, because it is the state between his state and her state. And, to be honest, NH's larger cities are nearer to MA than VT.

Dad told me about Kobe Bryant and his daughter being killed in a helicopter crash. Didn't realize the little girl was only thirteen. He said Bryant was on his way to some sort of event for kids. That would explain his daughter being with him. Very sad.
Dad began by saying, "You probably don't know who Kobe Bryant is..."
"The basketball player?" I asked. "Of course!"
Dad seemed surprised, which sort of insulted me. I don't know any current athletes, but I do know at least some of the greats of yesteryear. Though not a basketball fan, I was saddened to hear of Bryant's death. Yet another of the good ones gone too soon.
The folks born in 1978-1979 are standing out this year. Kobe Bryant was born 23 AUG 1978, and Rep. Jason Crow (one of the House Managers during the Impeachment Trial) was born 15 MAR 1979. PhD*Son was born 5 OCT 1978. They're all around age 40-41. That both makes me feel old and gives me hope. The generation coming into their own will rock the nation in a good way.

The two polls are probably statistically indistinguishable.

DeleteBiden and Sanders are breaking away from the pack of candidates among Democrats nationwide, Washington Post-ABC News poll finds [Click] Biden 32%, Sanders 23% (both up since October), Warren 12% (23% in October). All other candidates less than 9% each. Bloomberg 8%, Yang 7%, Buttigieg 5%, Klobuchar 3% (tied with none of the above and no opinion).
ReplyDeleteRemarkably little recent (and reliable, in California's case at least) polling in other states.

Kobe Bryant died today in a helicopter crash. There were reported to be four other people killed, but their names were not given.
ReplyDeleteI had to read up on who Kobe Bryant is. The other four matter as much.
DeleteTurns out his daughter Gianna "Gigi" Maria Snore was also on the helicopter and died. She was 13.
DeleteHer name should read Gianna "Gigi" Maria Onore (not Snore!), and I added her name via a cut and paste, but autINcorrect had other ideas. Sigh.

ReplyDeleteThis looks like it’s from November maybe, but pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteTom Steyer bought a domain name that DT’s campaign forgot to renew, and through it he’s selling bumper stickers that read: Trump is a Fraud and a Failure. Each costs $1 donation. That’s how he got enough small donations to qualify fir the debates! 😆
