Democrats now face a fractured and divisive contest for the nomination

Democrats braced themselves Tuesday night for a long and divisive contest for their party’s presidential nomination after New Hampshire voters added new uncertainty to a race already scrambled by last week’s caucuses in Iowa. …

The likely prospect now is that Sanders and several other candidates will divide the vote and delegates the rest of this month and into March, when more than 60 percent of the pledged delegates will be chosen. With support among the center-left candidates divided, Sanders could emerge from Super Tuesday with a lead in delegates. He would then be in a position to do what few Democrats thought possible before the campaign started, which is win the nomination — but not without a major fight. CONT.
