democratic party member international committeewoman.

new hampshire party had its biggest annual fundraiser saturday night and heard from a lot of the candidates. what do you hear from your selected candidate, senator warren or what have you heard that gives you confidence going into tomorrow's primary? >> guest: it was a great event that i believe senator warren had the loudest cheering section and most supporters which was great. i think her message in its closing days has been on point which is that she is a candidate that can unify all democrats and bring in some republicans which we need to do to beat donald trump in november, and also she has a compelling story that will resonate with americans across the country. >> host: she was unofficially third in the caucuses.

it's a conversation all of the candidates and supporters have been having the last couple of days. there were four or five tickets out of new hampshire which was unusual, but given the fact there were no results in iowa and the fact that it's going to be relatively close here in new hampshire the general feeling among all of us is that there will be four or five people that continue onto th on to the nextf contests and nevada and south carolina and tuesday which is a great thing for the country that so many candidates will still be ina the race and to give people choice. there were some candidates that won't survive new hampshire the ones who probably finish in the single digits, but i think there will be people coming out of here with the resources and ability to want to compete.

>> host: how is her fund raising particularly in new hampshire? >> guest: new hampshire is never a great state for fund raising, and i can't really tell you how much she has collected. i don't know the answer to that, but i know that it is another state that gives a ton of money. we are a small population state, so going from ne' hampshire, however, the fund raising is fine around the country and she has the resourcese to build on the 1,000 organizers that she has on the field in the country heading into the next round after new hampshire. >> host: from the neighboring state of massachusetts, tell us about how the proximity has helped her in new hampshire.

>> guest: the people in the southern tier of new hampshire that gets news coverage whether it is from boston tv or newspapers pick up news from massachusetts and therefore were obviously before she decided to run for senate. in addition to that, she's campaigned in new hampshire in the past for some of the state ercandidates here. i do think the notion that neighboring states have a huge advantage is a little overblown and newnt hampshire. there's a lot of parts of the state that are not reached in the boston media market and people here expect the candidates to come here and campaign to make them independent voters make up their mind among all of the candidates

sweat might give an advantage to the name recognition and media coverage in massachusetts, but i don't think that is more than a couple or three points so being a candidate from massachusetts or vermont or maine for example really is a dealbreaker. >> host: has she been able to wage her way in coming from boston tv stations etc. and from mike bloomberg from bernie sanders, has senator warren's message been able toen get out. the most important form of politics she's had a lot of organizers here in new hampshire for a year going door to door talking to people one-on-one.

that's something that we've been talking about with people on a one by one basis in addition to the media market and i think that's what is important in new hampshire. i talked to some people over the weekend about how they have received any last minute doorknocking from the campaign and they all say they've received a visit from someone that was an elizabeth warren volunteein elizabeth warrenvolur candidates but was the only one that heard from one of the volunteers knocking on their door over the weekend. >> host: kathy sullivan with the democratic party, comments, (202)744-8000, independent and other, 8002. if you are in new hampshire,

(202)748-8003. we welcome your calls and texts at the same line. you are a national committeewoman. coming out of iowa, the failure and leave reporting, what are your concerns about what fincher has done to prepare for the election tomorrow? >> guest: new hampshire has a different process. we are a state-run primary, so this is a primary that is run by the new hampshire secretary of statee office. they've been doing this for a long time. this is the 100th anniversary of the primary. we have teams of local and former officials that have been doing this for a long time. the attorney general's office hasen already announced they hae as usual team of officials ready

to go around the state which we don't anticipate. cause it is a state-run primary, we have paper ballots that are sent into the counting machines when they close so we really don't see that there would be the unfortunate with respect to mya and i feel badly for friends in iowa, but my understanding is the caucus themselves went great and everyone was happy with the process. the problem with the inability to report the results come up here in newt. hampshire again is something that the government overseas and isim responsible fr an something that has been in place.

in addition to that, they have their own elections they've experienced to all sorts of problems coming up i and how to deal with them. >> guest: i'm taking a deep breath because i hate to be critical, however, i do wish that there had been a little less finger-pointing. i think the iowa state officials really tried hard. i know they did. they've been working on this for a year to get ready for the caucuses, more than a year actually and thought they had everything in place and ready to

go. and of course there was a problem with republicans voting the phone lines of the iowa democratic party comes with a get through because of the actions of republicans to interfere in the reporting process, which isn't given a lot of publicity that they actually did have a backup plan and that was interfered with which is despicable. so i think the way that i would have handled it is that i would have said listen, i take responsibility as the head of the party and there were some mistakes made. we are going to investigate this and get to the bottom of what happened. let's withhold judgment on anyone. let's go down to the next state and focus on the great candidates thatoc we have and let's just continue to look into what happened, what went wrong

supposed mistakes won't be made in the future and that would have been the best way to handle it. >> host: to be clear you are saying you think there were republican effort to flood the phone lines forwa the reporting that prohibited democrats from getting the reporting. is that what you're saying? >> guest: is actual proof of that on some websites where people were going online putting up the phone numbers saying make phone calls, flooded the lines and there were people who were on the phone lines who said they were having problems with people calling us who were trump supporters. a lot of people -- i'm sorry. >> host: go ahead and finish your thought. >> guest: there's a lot of reporting about the failure but not a lot of reporting about what went wrong with the backup

system. >> host: the wine, (202)748-8003. edward in newrs hampshire, welcome. >> caller: hello, i watched the debate on channel nine india tonight and i noticed it was quite an extravagant set up but the one thing that hit me hardest was i didn't see one single american flag. shame on you. goodbye. >> host: daniel in erie pennsylvania. good morning on the independence line. >> caller: i want to change my comment is likely. even if the republicans interfered in the iowa caucuses, that is no excuse for five days recordindaysrecording later on s 177 different precincts that

have voting irregulars according to "the new york times," some of the precincts had more votes than voters. i am a precinct captain and what i'm hearing is they have five to ten voters switch parties from democrat to republican and the bernie sanders people are very upset because they think that the caucuses were stolen from them and they say they are going to vote independent or even for trump. they are registering to vote simply because of the fiasco the democrats are hoping at the state of the union address.

>> host: confidence in the vote in iowa and how does that translate into new hampshire, talk a little bit about your states regular efforts on voti voting. >> guest: in new hampshire you will not see those type of issues because again, the process is run by the state of new hampshire it's not run by the party. we use paper ballots, all the ballots are counted and in new hampshire in the past, we have had the counts. it was actually very accurate so you won't see those issues. i do want to go back to something that the prior caller said about c-span. i was in the auditorium. i was there when we sing the

star-spangled banner. i saw a lot of red white and blue, so if you are trying to say democrats are not patriotic, i have to tell you you are dead wrong. that's why weot are in the procs because we are patriots and we love our country andoc it gets o me when someone insinuates they are not. i wish i knew who you were because they would try. try. demand an apology in person.nd thank you. >> host: bridgewater new jersey. good morning. >> caller: good morning. first thing i would like to point out is that n it was realy disgusting that this last debate had 12 minutes of commercials before you even got started so they introduced the debate and at least 12 minutes of commercials. thisju is just really disgustin. the second thing i would like to point out why can't you have the primaries all at one time that cy everybody knows who the

candidates are and we have a campaign in which the media gets money from his commercials and so forth. the last point i would make is there's not enough delegates. you people saw what the republicans got polling too close to the end. >> host: several items there. how much input does the state party have over the debate? >> guest: nothing. i was just about to say i do not disagree that there are problems in the way that the debates have gone and have been handled in the cycle. i've expressed my deepest disappointment at the criteria a that presented a number of very qualified candidates from purchase a painting of the time. but the most recent was an abc

news debate and if you would like to register your disappointment with abc, i strongly encourage you to do so because i do agree there have been issues and i wish the criteria have been tinged with more people could participate. and then i tried to remember the second point. >> host: why can't the primary results be in one day? >> guest: you talked about the money. if you have a one-day primary, the only people that would be able to compete his people with access to almost unlimited funds because it would be a national campaign held on one day and the only people that could run is the people that have literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollarsh

if you like the general election where the airwaves are flooded only more so you would have to people in the race in the primary, so it would be very difficult. the other problem, and this is the beauty of new hampshire in these first state. to come out and talk to voters on the ground and listen to voters on a one-on-one basis about what their problems are and concerns and stories. if you have a national primary, all the concerns of people like you and people like me would be filtered through strategists and pollsters into that would be terrible for the office and the hard things because it would come down to who has the most money. >> host: it won't be the last

iowa with a look at several of the signs from the candidates campaigning in new hampshire. >> host: he wants sanders out by socialism, he's not worried about the rest except michael bloomberg. he's scared to death. to the democrats, we think. >> host: any thoughts? on michael bloomberg in particular. >> guest: we have been seeing a lot of michael bloomberg although he isn't campaigning in new hampshire. we are getting all of the tv ads the rest of the country is seeing and i think certainly as we go into super tuesday where mayor bloomberg started to

compete, you will see a lot on tv and in pennsylvania so you will certainly have an opportunity to cast your vote to the candidate thafor the candidd like to be the nominee. it doesn't matter how the democratic nominee is, donald trump is who he is a. oa. nasty, divisive, a liar and he will try to beat up relentlessly on whoever the democratic nominee may be if it's going to be up to us to unite to get our story out to talk about the policies that are bad for the country that we can get together come november. >> host: your candidate got the endorsement of "the des

moines register." "the new york times" ahead of the new hampshire primary. they've got an endorsement from two of the democratic state senators including kevin cavanaugh and also the endorsement of the former new hampshire house speaker. she's picked up some very important endorsements as she has campaigned in new hampshire. and of course every endorsement coming to the individual voters, those are the ones we are most interested in and getting the endorsement of as many voters as they can tomorrow, i can't believe it is going to be tomorrow in the primary.

>> host: as the results come in, what will you be looking for? >> guest: i'm in the republican leaning toward southeastern manchester and very much a working class neighborhood in manchester. i will be looking for result early from manchester because the boards close at 7 p.m. and they will get a sense from the largest city by it o'clock to see what is happening here. another big city where they do not close until 8 p.m. so if you live in nashville we have an extra hour. on the southern tier there are a lot of towns that are bigger than the cities, towns bedford which is a republican leaning area but there are a lot of democratss.

it's one of the few places that one facility clinton and the primary four years ago i also will look to places like during an there will be a lot of college students voting in that area as well as in plymouth and two more areas where we have state universities and we can expect a to see a large turnout. the upper valley in the western part of the state very much a high income educated area with a lot of professionals and so it will be interesting to see how the vote divides us and other areas i would like to would be portsmouth new hampshire on the coast and again on the southern tier of the town in massachusetts border and i can't giveve an exact for all of them but by 8:00, 830, we are going

to have an idea how things are going. these are the areas we will be focusing on. good morning. thank you. a couple of common. republicans now have somebody to vote for. i'm concerned about the lack of coverage from people like tulsi and yang and steyer. i'm finding out things about tulsi but were suppressed by the media i believe. the quick fix for iowa,

newspaper and a machine that isn't connected too the interne. people should follow their hearts, not the polls because polling is only landline phones which is 43% of the population mostly older people. most are not interfered with were suppressed by the media, the media jumps on and repeats it wasn't even verified and then the app is owned by people in the dnc. >> guest: i agree there should be a lot more coverage of all of the candidates. a lot of the media to pick their favorite candidates in focus a

lot of their attention on them and in fact i will talk about the debate again, the fact not all of the candidates were able to participate and then when we haveca the debate, the moderator is frequently would only ask questions predominantly ask of certain candidates say you have some with very little time for disabled the other night with respect to tulsi i think she has had a very interesting campaign she starts with billboards in new hampshire's and giving a lot of campaigning in new hampshire. she had interesting free media events she went surfing off the coast of new hampshire and also

went snowboarding here in the last month or so and so she has done her best to try to worksh around that. i would like to see debates covered in a manner other than the sports event. it's great to have you with us this morning live from manchester. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. it's been fun.

>> in hart's location new hampshire where the voting is about to occur in the first in the nation primary. this is one of three locations with the right voting in new hampshire. under state law, towns that have fewer than 100 residents are allowed to open the polls at midnight and open them as soon as all registered voters cast their ballots. we are going to get you more information about this long-standing tradition and location by speaking earlier today with the towns operato mo.
