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.

Yeah- He's Running
Tonight, during an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, Senator Rand Paul referred to "Hillary's war in Libya."
Considering the fact that he had just spoken of Bush's war in Iraq, not Cheney's or Powell's war, and that the Republicans have consistently criticized President Obama for 'leading from behind' in Libya, it seems a bit strange. Unless he's planning to run against Clinton and is desperate for ammunition.
He still has to maneuver around his state's law keeping him from running for two offices simultaneously.
