n New Hampshire, at least, there seems to be a contest brewing for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Even as Hillary Clinton was holding her first big rally of the campaign, a Suffolk University Poll taken over the weekend finds the Democratic front-runner leading Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by an unimpressive 41%-31% among likely Democratic primary voters in the Granite State.

There's a sampling of the latest polling numbers. Granted it is early in the race but this is the same scenario that kept Hillary out of the nomination in '08.
As far as anecdotal reports go I'll just say that a high percentage of my democratic contacts express lack of enthusiasm for Hillary and great hope for Bernie. He has stated that he is running for the democratic nomination and would not run as a third party candidate in the event he does not win the nomination of the party.
Yes, he is appealing because he is a breath of fresh air who is sensible and can see the problem we are in economically. Now we need to make sure he gets a congress that is disconnected from the corporate machine now running Washington, then we could really sort things out for the betterment of the people and not just have a government that works for the global corporate interests.
Go Bernie!
