“Hillary Clinton is dispatching at least 150 people from her campaign headquarters in Brooklyn Heights to New Hampshire for an all-hands-on-deck effort here in advance of the Democratic primary on Tuesday,” BuzzFeed reports. Politico: “The feeling at Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters these days isn’t about pulling off an upset — it’s about closing the gap, and halting Sanders’ momentum by denying him an easy win in a state that should be a cakewalk. In some respects New Hampshire is the only state where Team Clinton can flip the inevitability script — with Sanders positioned as the favorite with lots to lose.”

Ted Cruz really is an odious weasel.He goosed his ground game by convincing Carson supports that their guy had thrown in the towel. You can only use that play in a caucus state, so he did and you can't argue with the results. [And by the way, has anyone else noticed that Cruz' campaign manger looks like the bad guy from the Smurfs? Does anyone doubt that this guy could have brazenly lying in his toolbox?] So what happens now? I see Trump's white nationalist partisans are all in, so Trump could keep it going for a while. But even as loud as they are, the grizzled 20% of Republicans who like Trump are still 20% of Republicans. Rubio appears to be the new establishment pick, which makes him the party's ebola monkey from the tea party perspective. So can Cruz, the odious weasel, end up being the guy who unites the GOP? I think it is possible. But, ultimately, nobody knows jack shit. John Kasich, the 69th Governor of Ohio, could catch fire. Literally... Michel Jackson style, during the taping of a Pepsi Cola ad. We simply don't know. (I added the DL Fantasy pool update below)
