Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren tried to put the best possible spin on the things by saying only two states have weighed in on the Democratic presidential race.
But let's face it she had an absolutely awful night in New Hampshire. With 76% of precincts reporting, Warren stands in fourth place with 9.6% of the vote and will not be earning any delegates. To put this matter in perspective, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is in third place with nearly 20% of the ballots and more than twice as many votes as Warren (44,051 to 21,470).
The only consolation for Warren is that she finished ahead of Joe Biden (who was smart enough to be in South Carolina). Finishing ahead of Biden might have been good if she finished first, second or even a close third. But this is really, really bad.
If a Massachusetts Senator cannot break 10% of the vote in New Hampshire or come away with a delegates then how can she expect to fare well anywhere else?
Warren might say she is in it for the long haul and she might stick around through Super Tuesday. But I'll say it here and now. Stick a fork in her. She's done. Let Elizabeth Warren go back to the Senate where she can finish the job she was elected to do all the while assuring voters she would never run for President.
