Though winning seems out of the picture, a solid placing in the top three at least is crucial for Kasich, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, which is […]

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.

Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn didn’t have to be in New Hampshire this weekend. And with New England in the grip of a snowstorm, a four-hour wait at the airport in Tampa, he may have had second thoughts. But with his candidate, Hillary Clinton, in a dogfight against Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination, he […]

The days are getting shorter for Jeb Bush to make his case in New Hampshire. In Bedford on Saturday morning in his only campaign appearance of the day, the former Florida Governor spoke to a packed auditorium at McKelvie Intermediate School, where he once again laid out his pitch on why he’s the most capable […]
