you know, dynamics could totally change with someone like bernie sanders or joe biden jump in or sharon browne's able to peel awhey what klobuchar peels in her path. we may see some compete in the middle lane and sanders and warren compete for the left lane. if polling for the first caucus and primary start showing one is pulling ahead, others are going to bolt and run for the next state to try and make sure they get an early win. >> no question about it. meanwhile presidential hopeful amy klobuchar issal in new hampshire preparing for tonight's cn town hall in manchester. our jeff zeleny joins me now live. what's ooh your sense of her message going into tonight's town hall? >> i did. one thing she's tried to point out is she's a pragmatic progrisive. she talks ore amend ore how she is a progressive, but she's also voting to get things done. i was spending time with her in iowa before she flies here and she was talking about her voting record, but particularly, phil, you know from being on capitol hill last week, that voting to keep the government open on the spending bill, she voted in favor
