NEW HAMPSHIRE RESULT CLOGS UP MODERATE LANE
NASHUA, N.H. - Bernie Sanders may have established himself as the standard-bearer for the Democratic Party’s leftist wing with his strong showing in Iowa and New Hampshire, but for moderates looking to rally around a candidate to fend him off, the picture just got even murkier.
Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, seemed well positioned to be the early favorite of the party’s moderates after his narrow win in Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses - until a surge by Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar largely split the moderate vote between them in New Hampshire.
