CONCORD, NH -- Two days before a once-mission-critical primary in a state she neighbors, Sen. Elizabeth Warren - typically exceptional at holding a room - had not finished speaking when something unusual happened: Dozens of voters began filtering out of the middle school gym she had reserved.
Campaign staff strained to enlist prospective volunteers on their way to their cars. Someone, anyone, one organizer called out as departing guests stepped around him.
And when Warren wound toward her big finish, the go-out-and-get-em kicker in these urgent final hours, her mind wandered accidentally to home.
Its up to you, Massachusetts, to decide what to do, Warren instructed.
Supporters looked back at her, murmuring. She realized why. And to the people of New Hampshire! she amended.

Three hundred years ago they knew.
Yep. I think you are right.
Bloomberg is going to buy the nomination. If he succeeds, the race to November will be hugely entertaining and Little Mike will be a whole lot less rich, but no closer to the White House, when it’s over.
Like she held that diner where most everybody gave her the "leave me the hell alone so I can eat my lunch in peace" look?
And the...um...
"Gravitass". Yeah, that's it. Gravitass.
She did.
But it would still rub the NH people the wrong way.
The people pictured here don’t like crowds.
50-60 people in line.
Ha ha ha!
