Like his two fellow governors who are running for the Republican Party nomination for president, New Hampshire is a do-or-die state for Ohio Gov. John Kasich this Tuesday.

It’s said that New Hampshire is the graveyard for pollsters; is it true for oddsmakers also? Sports Betting Dime laid odds for Donald Trump on the GOP side and Bernie Sanders on the Dem side, and Trump is “favored” by 13.5 and Sanders by 14.5 … a slightly more bearish read than most of the recent polls.
