So, I think Bernie and Biden benefit from this fiasco since they are the two front runners. It definitely seems like Biden underperformed based on his speech ("we'll get our share of delegates") but he can safely go on to NH. Bernie, on the other hand, was the assumed winner according to previous polling and he's doing well in NH already. Klobuchar doesn't need to drop out now but I get the feeling she overperformed. It was smart for her to be the FIRST speaker to maximize airtime. I think Pete is probably the biggest loser out of everyone if he overperformed. He hasn't given a speech yet but even if he wins, it won't really matter.

I wonder how Pete knew to make a victory speech last night during the "quality control" <_<

Easy. All campaigns have internal polling and there are certain benchmarks in certain counties that you can measure. It's literally no different than knowing if a candidate overperformed or underperformed in a state based on 25% of precincts reporting. As someone who has worked on campaigns, you should know this.

Sanders was obviously leading the vote counts, and Buttigieg’s campaign would have known that last night.
