DURHAM, N.H. Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders drew an estimated 3,000 people to a boisterous rally here Sunday night at the University of New Hampshire, about five times as many people as Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton attracted to an event two days ago at the same campus.

About 300 people were seated in a room at the student union while nearly 300 watched from an overflow room during the event Friday morning, according to figures provided by Clinton's campaign.
While Clinton's event was open to the public, aides said that it was not meant to draw a rally-sized crowd and that Clinton was focused on holding a thoughtful discussion. Sanderss event, which his campaign said drew more than 3,000 people, was held at a time more convenient for students."
Thoughtful discussion!!!

(45,251 posts)Still, the large disparity in crowd sizes highlights an enthusiasm gap among younger voters in the early nominating states. Recent polls from Iowa and New Hampshire have shown Sanders with sizable leads over Clinton among voters younger than 30.
So, let's schedule all six of the debates for after deadlines for registering for the primary have started to expire and lets schedule two of the four debates that are scheduled to occur before Super Tuesday for Saturdays nights, one of those Saturday nights being the Saturday before Christmas, when almost no one of any age will be watching.
The stench from the debate schedule, which will stay in my nostrils for a very long time, may make holding my nose an even bigger problem than usual.
