This is an important trip for Sanders. MSNBC reported Saturday that Sanders is counting on a win in New Hampshire, where the latest polls show him to be 10 points ahead of Hillary Clinton but where polling has see-sawed back and forth, “to give him the momentum he needs to continue fighting Hillary Clinton into the spring. And that makes the state potentially the most important of the early nominating contests.”
Sanders may need to win both Iowa and New Hampshire to pose a clear, mortal threat to Clinton. But a win in either state will keep him and his message alive to fight another day.
A win in neither would be the end of the line.
Fox News reports that Republican pollster Daron Shaw agrees where Iowa and New Hampshire are concerned. A Fox News poll released Sunday shows Clinton ahead in Iowa by double-digits.
Sanders spent the weekend in Iowa, including stops in Dubuque and Waterloo, where he repeated his call for “change in America” to “create an economy that works for the middle class and working families, not just a handful of billionaires.”
Hrafnkell Haraldsson, a social liberal with leanings toward centrist politics has degrees in history and philosophy. His interests include, besides history and philosophy, human rights issues, freedom of choice, religion, and the precarious dichotomy of freedom of speech and intolerance. He brings a slightly different perspective to his writing, being that he is neither a follower of an Abrahamic faith nor an atheist but a polytheist, a modern-day Heathen who follows the customs and traditions of his Norse ancestors. He maintains his own blog, A Heathen’s Day, which deals with Heathen and Pagan matters, and Mos Maiorum Foundation www.mosmaiorum.org, dedicated to ethnic religion. He has also contributed to NewsJunkiePost, GodsOwnParty and Pagan+Politics.
