It's not a good night for the Nancy Pelosi crowd. They love Joe Biden and Joe Biden is flopping. From MEDIAITE:
It doesn’t look like Joe Biden will get a single delegate from New Hampshire on Tuesday night — and the former vice president might even finish out of the top four candidates in the state’s primary.
And while Team Biden wasn’t counting on a New Hampshire win — Joe is already in South Carolina — CNN’s John King broke down just how bad numbers in the state are looking for the candidate.
“Joe Biden is first nowhere,” King said, gazing at a large interactive map of counties. “Joe Biden second in one tiny county.”
“That’s just a very bad performance by a former vice president of the United States,” King said.
Eliza Relman (BUSINESS INSIDER) notes:
Former Vice President Joe Biden had a disastrous showing in the New Hampshire primary on Tuesday, where he is on pace to finish in fifth place and in the high single digits.
Biden failed to reach the 15% threshold to win delegates in the state.
Notably, no presidential nominee has ever placed below second in the New Hampshire primary, so Biden has a steep hill to climb to regain his foothold in the race.
This is the second major blow for Biden in the last week after his poor showing in the Iowa caucuses.
John Ziegler (MEDIAITE) argues:
If Democrats really want to beat President Donald Trump, some major moves have to be made immediately. Specifically, Joe Biden (whom I have previously promoted as having the best chance to beat Trump), and Elizabeth Warren (whom I don’t believe would be likely to beat Trump) need to exit the race within days. If not sooner.
I am not so naive as to think that this stunning scenario is actually going to happen, but the case for why it should is now extremely strong.
First, it should be noted that, based on the basic rules as they have always been, both Biden and Warren should be forced out of the race at this point regardless of the exponentially amplified stakes due to the dangers of a second Trump term. In fact, it is absurd that there probably won’t be much media pressure for this to happen based simply on the results of Iowa and New Hampshire.
Who could have seen Elizabeth's low turnout, right?
Wrong. C.I. told everyone weeks ago to back off when they were getting bent out of shape and attacking Elizabeth Warren. She had seen the campaign polling and she knew Elizabeth wouldn't be sailing through Iowa and New Hampshire -- she also knew that Bernie didn't need to turn off Elizabeth voters because he'd need them for the rest of the primaries and in the general.
C.I. saw the polling and interpreted it correctly.
We're not at all surprised in this community that Elizabeth couldn't even perform well in New Hampshire. I'm not gloating. I do think that she and Joe need to drop out.
She had her shot and couldn't pull it off. She is not going to have a better chance than New Hampshire. She couldn't persuade the electorate, she should drop out.
The same with Joe. They are distractions as this point.
Bernie won Iowa and now he's won New Hampshire.

- BREAKING: Sen. Bernie Sanders will win the New Hampshire Democratic primary, CNN projects #cnnelection https://cnn.it/31JFLvU
Bernie's the winner. Yea!
Here's C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot:"
Tuesday, February 11, 2020. In the US, the first primary takes place.
Today, in the US, Americans hope for some clarity on where the electorate is leaning for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination. New Hampshire holds the first primary in the nation.
Some background. In 2016, Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire. Hillary went on to the get the nomination and she carried the stated in the general election, In 2012, President Barack Obama won New Hampshire, won the nomination and carried the state in the general election. In 2008, Hillary Clinton won the New Hampshire primary but Barack Obama won the nomination and later carried the state. In 2004, they went with John Kerry who went on to become the party's presidential nominee. Kerry also carried the state in the general election. In 2000, Al Gore won the primary and he went on to win the nomination. Bully Boy Bush carried the state in the 2000 general election. In 1996, President Bill Clinton won the primary and won the nomination and carried the state in the general election. In 1992, Paul Tsongas won the primary but Bill Clinton ended up with the nomination and Bill carried the state in the general election.
We review that for a baseline, yes, but also because some press outlets just flat out lie.
For example, in an unsigned piece at POLITICO from last November, this lie was published: "In 2016, Clinton won New Hampshire by less than 1 point." Hillary did not carry New Hampshire. What a lie and what an embarrassment for POLITICO. From WIKIPEDIA: "The 2016 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary took place on February 9. As per tradition, it was the first primary and second nominating contest overall to take place in the cycle. Bernie Sanders defeated Hillary Clinton in the primary by a margin of more than 22% in the popular vote. Sanders claimed 15 delegates to Clinton's 9.[1]"
When people talk about how the corporate media is out to get Bernie and how they're out to deny him any victory, that's what they're talking about. An article lying about Bernie losing New Hampshire to Hillary is exactly what they're talking about.
Who's on the ballot this go round? Pretty much everyone.
WIKIPEDIA notes the following made the ballot:
Iowa blew its chance to have any real influence. Tonight, New Hampshire has a shot. What's the media saying?

Iowa blew its chance to have any real influence. Tonight, New Hampshire has a shot. What's the media saying?
Listening to CNN right now already saying that it’s not enough for @BernieSanders to just win New Hampshire. I’m sorry but these people are delusional. He doesn’t need to radically change the dynamics of the race. If things hold as they are he will win.
Good morning New Hampshire!!! Go vote for Bernie Sanders!!!
As @AOC said last night we are at a crossroads in our democracy. Take the path towards justice and compassion.
.@BernieSanders is that president.
45 million Americans are drowning in student debt. That isn’t just a statistic — it’s a systemic failure. Our legislation will cancel every penny of the debt that’s keeping young people in poverty.
Bernie Sanders is +18 against Trump with Independents. Important considering a large plurality of voters identify as independent over either party, and it’s been that way for years now. news.gallup.com/poll/15370/par…
TODAY is the New Hampshire Primary.
Post to #BernieForNH your favorite moments from the lead up to today. Canvassing pictures, rallies, phonebanking stories, or just post why New Hampshire votes should vote for @BernieSanders

In Iraq, the protests continue and the protesters continue to be attacked.
These crimes in Iraq, where are the human rights, where is the UN representative?
Former movement leader Moqtada al-Sadr has let his militia attack the protesters. He's also called for segregated protests -- segregated by gender.
Iraq - protests about gender-mixing ban
In response to Muqtada Al-Sadr's tweet calling for separating men and women between the sexes
The slogan of the #Iraqi youth: We Iraqi youth are not the ones who bow to a tweet in Twitter.
#IraqProtests #iraqmillionmanmarch
Iraqis laugh at his notions.
And they look at him and wonder, as he flees to Iran constantly, what kind of marriage does he have?
The 45-year-old took part in an arranged marriage in 1995. He's rarely in the same city as his wife and they have no children. I guess that's the sort of segregation Moqtada practices in his marriage. Maybe he doesn't like women? That would explain a 25 year marriage that has produced no children.
Muqtada al-Sadr should be included in the list of terrorism, because he sends signals to his followers on Twitter to kill civilians, killing more than 15 civilians only for his three tweets. We hope to close his account on Twitter as well, because he is a terrorist.
Protesters who claim they were threatened and tortured by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s armed militiamen in Baghdad are fleeing to Erbil to avoid being jailed under Iraq’s counterterrorism law.
