To the first-in-the-nation primary state:
"Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils."
General John Stark; a toast to his comrades-in-arms on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of the Battle of Bennington.
Bernie Sanders achieved a record margin of victory over Hillary Clinton tonight; twenty-one points.
Trump took the Republican side by a wider margin, with Kasich staying alive with a distant second. Cruz, Rubio and Bush are more or less tied for third. Chris ("I worked the cones") Christie is headed back to Jersey to reconsider his options. Might I make a suggestion, Governor? Just sit down and shut up.

The Calm Before the Flood
As of this moment, the people of Dixville Notch, New Hampshire have voted (all nine of them.)
The tally? Sanders 4, Clinton 0 and on the Republican side: Kasich 3, Trump 2.
This time tomorrow we'll know the rest, but it is a nice start.

O Iowa!
As I write this, the Democratic primary is still too close too call. Clinton has a three or four point lead over Sanders, with about 96% of the precincts reporting. However it plays out, the tie goes to the underdog, so I'm calling it for Bernie. (Full disclosure: I'm volunteering for the Sanders campaign.) (Fuller disclosure: I'm still right about the tie.)
Governor Martin O'Malley has dropped out tonight. He ran a good campaign and played an important part in shaping the conversation. I know we haven't seen the last of him.
On the Republican side, Ted (Canadian Bacon) Cruz won. Donald Fucking Trump is a loser. (I hope to be saying that often between now and November.)
Mike (The Huckster) Huckabee dropped out tonight. I suggest he eat some cinnamon and get some sleep.

Berniementum
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont has been seeing incredible crowds at his speeches and events. He is filling his venues to overflowing. Whatever you have to say about his chances against Hillary Clinton, the left is fully energized in a way it has never been.
The activism of the sixties and early seventies was based on outsiders trying to move a resistant population. Now we are the population, or, at least, a good solid piece of it.
Liberals are back- and stronger than we have ever been. It's getting to be about time for the dinosaurs to realize they're on the verge of extinction. Since they don't understand even the basics of evolutionary theory, that may be difficult for them to comprehend. Let me put it to them in a way they will understand: Get out of the way or get run over!
