I live here and think it will either go Bernie or Pete.
I drove into another county yesterday about 35 minutes away and the number of Pete signs I saw was astonishing. All the older women I know who are liberal are canvassing for him.
I plan to vote Warren tomorrow and will feel so relieved when I am done and we move on to the next state.
I definitely see how Warren and Klobuchar are super different, but I guess at this point I prioritize electing a woman over...pretty much anything else. And I take so many of their POVs and policy ideas with a grain of salt because who has control of the house and the senate plays a huge role in what will actually happen if they get elected.
Motivating down ballot D votes is also important to me.

My reasoning is based on the following. Given who is left I basically am not considering policy at all:
1 Klobuchar- not an Oldz, woman, experience as a politician, not a loon
2 Warren- she would be my #1 if she wasn't an Oldz
3- Buttigigggggg I guess? Not an Oldz, I think he is problematic on race but less problematic than Biden. Feel free to convince me to swap 3 and 4
4- Biden, an Oldz, problematic but could be worse (see #5), but whatever I'm sure he'd do ok and pick a decent VP
5- Captain Wavy Hands, holy Oldz Batman plus he is super problematic in literally every way possible, and I'm not honestly sure how much better he will be than Trump.

The Bernie canvas person was my worst canvas person. She said I had to vote for Bernie unless I wanted Biden to win. GTFO lady. Like, where were the Bernie people when we made this same case for voting Hilary to beat trump?
The only ads I see are Bloomberg’s and I still forget he’s in the race. Who are these people who support him?
My cousin’s husband supports him. He’s convinced he’s the only candidate who knows how to make a difference regarding climate change (no idea where that idea came from). He’s a 40 year old Mexican immigrant who moved to NYC after college.

More and more people are going to take a look at Bloomberg. For a lot of people who aren't in early primary states, he's the only ads they are seeing and he clearly, CLEARLY dislikes Trump. He's not in the mud with the rest of the candidates, he's not "establishment". It is not a surprise to me that he's gaining in popularity.

I realized today that Warren isn't on the Delaware primary ballot yet. I actually signed up for a shift collecting signatures on Saturday. I hope a kind, experienced extrovert takes me under their wing.

The other day my husband said he thinks Bloomberg is the best chance we have of beating Trump. I fell out of my chair. My husband is a longtime NYC public school teacher who never once voted for Bloomberg here because Bloomberg is so despised by many teachers. So for him to believe that, I really have to think about Bloomberg playing spoiler.
As for black support, I’m not sure where that’s coming from.
NH voter here. I know a LOT of republicans who dislike Trump and are voting for Pete tomorrow. I think it’s going to be closer than people expect between the two of them. I’m team anyone but Bernie and my fingers are crossed he doesn’t win. His supporters who have come to my door have been such jerks when I state my choice isn’t Bernie.
Both of my boomer parents have already turned in their absentee ballots for Klobuchar. We're in MN, so there is time yet before our vote, but they have made their decision. Both are very anti trump and will vote for whoever the d nominee turns out to be, regardless.
I really hope, once the primaries are over and the presidential debates begin, that people will see the stark difference between trump and wherever the d nominee will be. But you know. 2016.
NH voter here! I’m a registered Dem and have had exactly two people (who were together) knock on my door (Pete’s vols). Apparently I’m in a “conservative area.” Eff.
Lots of Pete and Bernie signs out and about. I’ve seen more Amy signs in the past week or so.
I think it will go Bernie Pete Amy Warren Biden
I agree with many of you - I don’t think NH should have such an outsized influence (or Iowa for that matter). I’d really like to see the first four states switch - SC, then NV, then NH, then IA.

People who enjoy his trump trolling - lol. Seriously though, the majority of voters aren’t really paying attention yet and he’s spent like $250M so he is EVERYWHERE in some places. “Beating trump” is among the top qualities Ds are looking for, so his trump trolling ads are having an impact.
CBS is in New Hampshire and their reporter interviewed two ice fishermen, a Trump supporter and an undecided. The supporter said “I think Trump is an honest person, but he sure does tell a lot of lies.”
I'm in Boston but southern NH is in our TV market and I've seen a ton of Pete, Amy, Bloomberg, and Tulsi (wtf?) ads in the last week. Oddly, not a ton of Bernie, Warren, or Biden.
I have only watched the Super Bowl and the Oscars live this year (and yes, there were Bloomberg ads). But I’ve also seen a TON of Bloomberg ads on Facebook and YouTube.

The amount of Tulsi signs I see in NH is truly staggering.

I think it will go EITHER Bernie or Pete (no idea who will come in first, but I think it will be REALLY close again) and then Amy. I almost voted for Amy but went with my gut for Warren.
We voted first thing this morning at 7 am and the lines were so long! I have never had to stand in line to vote--the last time I voted in NH I lived in a town with less than 1000 people and I think I voted absentee.
