>> Ed: PETER DOOCY LIVE ON THE GROUND IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
>> Sandra: IT’S HEATING UP.
LET’S BRING IN BYRON YORK FOR
"THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER" AND
FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.
ALL THE HEAT NOT MELTING THE
SNOW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
YOU’RE ON THE GROUND.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
>> WELL, I MEAN THE INTERESTING
THING HERE IS AFTER THIS
ENORMOUS SCREW-UP BY THE IOWA
DEMOCRATIC PARTY, IOWA DIDN’T
WINNOW THE FIELD THAT MUCH.
WE HAVE FIVE PEOPLE HERE WHO
ARE FIGHTING IT OUT.
BUT HISTORICAL FACT IS NO
DEMOCRAT HAS EVER GONE ON TO
WIN THE NOMINATION WITHOUT
FINISHING FIRST OR SECOND HERE.
AND I MEAN IT SEEMS TO ME RIGHT
NOW THAT THAT INCLUDES BERNIE
SANDERS AND PETE BUTTIGIEG.
AND THE DEMOCRATIC
ESTABLISHMENT IS STILL VERY,
VERY UNHAPPY WITH BERNIE
SANDERS.
SANDERS. DOES THAT MEAN THEY GIVE MORE
TICKETS OUT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
THAN THEY NORMALLY WOULD?
NOT ENTIRELY CLEAR.
>> Sandra: BIGGEST QUESTION
STILL IS JOE BIDEN -- YOU WRITE
ABOUT THIS IN YOUR PIECE TODAY.
CENTRIST VOTERS CUT BIDEN OUT
OF THE PICTURE.
NEARLY 1/3 OF VOTERS YOU WRITE
REMAIN UNDECIDED JUST HOURS
BEFORE TUESDAY’S PRIMARY BUT
BEING UNDECIDED DOES NOT MEAN A
VOTER IS OPEN TO ANY CANDIDATE
AND THAT LOOKS LIKE MORE BAD
NEWS FOR BIDEN.
EXPLAIN, BYRON.
EXPLAIN, BYRON. >> I WAS AT A BUTTIGIEG RALLY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY
THEY’RE STILL SHOPPING, NOT
TOTALLY COMMITTED TO A
CANDIDATE.
CANDIDATE. BUT THEY HAVE NARROWED THE
CHOICE DOWN.
CHOICE DOWN. AMONG DEMOCRATS WHO BELIEVE WHO
CALL THEMSELVES CENTRISTS SAY
THE CHOICE WAS BIDEN AND
BUTTIGIEG.
BUTTIGIEG. THEY DON’T LIKE WARREN OR
SANDERS, TOO FAR LEFT FOR THEM.
I SAID WHO DOES THAT LEAVE?
HE SAID PETE AND AMY.
MEANING BUTTIGIEG AND KLOBUCHAR.
WHAT ABOUT JOE BIDEN?
THEY SAID HE IS TOO OLD.
THEY SAID IT VERY QUICKLY.
WHAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING IS
THAT SOME VOTERS WHO MIGHT BE
JOE BIDEN TARGETS ARE NOW JUST
CUTTING HIM OUT OF THE PICTURE.
ONE DEMOCRAT I TALKED TO SAID
-- I SAID IS BIDEN LOSING
SUPPORT BY THE HOUR?
HE SAID BY THE MINUTE.
>> Sandra: VERY INTERESTING.
I KNOW I READ THAT IN YOUR
PIECE AS WELL AS I READ YOU
TALKING TO SOME UNDECIDED
VOTERS ABOUT JOE BIDEN AND IT
IS NOT NECESSARILY A DISLIKE
FOR JOE BIDEN.
THEY JUST DECIDED HE IS NOT THE
ONE.
ONE. WHAT ABOUT MOMENTUM FOR PETE
BUTTIGIEG COMING OFF OF IOWA?
>> HE SEEMS TO HAVE THAT
MOMENTUM.
MOMENTUM. THE VICTORY IN IOWA IS
CONTESTED.
CONTESTED. A.P. DIDN’T EVEN CALL A WINNER
IN IOWA.
IN IOWA. BUT THE IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
SAYS THAT BUTTIGIEG GOT A
LITTLE BIT MORE IN DELEGATES
THAT BERNIE SANDERS DID.
ALTHOUGH SANDERS WON THE
POPULAR VOTE AS WE KNOW
BUTTIGIEG THEN CLAIMED VICTORY.
THAT HAS REALLY HELPED HIM,
GIVEN HIM A LOT OF MOMENTUM.
HE APPEARS TO BE REALLY MOVING
UP.
UP. HE HAS MOVED UP A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
SINCE FEBRUARY 1 A COUPLE OF
DAYS BEFORE IOWA IN A MUCH,
MUCH BIGGER POSITION.
NOW HE APPEARS TO BE
CHALLENGING AT LEAST FOR SECOND
PLACE AND POSSIBLY TO WIN THE
WHOLE THING.
WHOLE THING. >> Sandra: IT’S FASCINATING
TALKING ABOUT THE ONE SUPPORTER
TALKING ABOUT BIDEN LOSING
MOMENTUM BY THE MINUTE.
YOU END YOUR PIECE SAYING FOR
BIDEN AND THE REST OF THE FIELD
THINGS ARE CHANGING NOT BY THE
HOUR BUT THE MINUTE.
WHOSE RACE IS THIS TO WIN?
>> WELL, TO WIN YOU WOULD HAVE
TO SAY SANDERS AND BUTTIGIEG.
THE BIGGER THING IS RIGHT NOW
IS TO LOSE.
BECAUSE REMEMBER, JOE BIDEN
TALKED ABOUT SOUTH CAROLINA
WHERE HE HAS SOME SUPPORT OF A
LOT OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN
DEMOCRATS.
DEMOCRATS. BEING HIS FIREWALL.
SOMETIMES THE FIREWALL MIGHT
NOT WORK IF HE DOES THIS BADLY
HERE AS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEM
TO THINK HE WILL.
ONE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO
SAID BIDEN WAS LOSING SUPPORT
BY THE MINUTE, ALL THE POLLS WE
HAVE, MOST OF THEM ARE HOURS
OLD.
OLD. MOST OF THEM ARE A DAY OLD, 36
HOURS, 48 HOURS OLD.
THE SITUATION COULD REALLY
CHANGE SINCE THEN.
SO I’M NOT SURE THE POLLS ARE
GIVING US AN ENTIRELY ACCURATE
PICTURE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AT
THIS PRECISE MINUTE.
>> Sandra: THAT LEAVES A LOT OF
