and hillary clinton in 2008. so is there any sense that support will perhaps turn out on tuesday and give clinton a bit of a surprise victory? >> i think there is an you have polls showing between 20 or 30 points for sanders. most people think that will tighten. when you look at the clinton family history here, you think of hillary clinton obviously coming back and winning in 2008, but the other one was bill clinton in 1992. we remember new hampshire as the state that made him the comeback kid. what we forget is he actually lost new hampshire that night by eight points to paul tsongas. that is how he called himself the comeback kid. that is something to keep in mind. i think the clinton campaign would like to get out of new hampshire, they would like to drive the deficit into single digits. they like to close with some momentum. they like to be able to tell the media, look, bernie sanders is from next door. he is from vermont. a huge advantage there. there is not a huge advantage to being from vermont here in new

new hampshire saved bill clinton's campaign in 1992. new hampshire arguably saved hillary clinton's campaign, prolonged that fight in 2008. so to get blown out here, yes, neighboring senators and governors have had an advantage in new hampshire through the years. the favorite here. but to get blown out, to lose by double digits i think would be not just disappointing to her, but i think that could give momentum to sanders arguably where you have some other democrats who just assumed clinton was going to be their candidate, who takes a second look at sanders. that said, i think if clinton can get this within single digits, make the race a little more competitive, then that could take a little bit of air out of the sanders balloon. >> chuck, thanks. we'll look for much more on "meet the press" this morning when you sit down with hillary clinton, donald trump and bernie sanders. stick with "today" for full primary coverage, live from new hampshire on primary tuesday. >>> to the other big story of the day, of course that's the big game happ

does clinton then still have to worry about those millennials? what does she do to target the younger voters? >> clinton's challenge now is she's going to be in this interesting spot where she's not going to go negative on sanders anymore. they're going to act as if they have control of this nomination. she has to start figuring out how she's going to appeal to younger voters. she can't alienate these bernie supporters. i think that's going to be a challenge for her. she's not going to win them over, but how does she start becoming their second choice. how does she start becoming somebody that they cannot just live with, but get potentially rally around and i think that's a challenge for her because so far she has yet to appeal to any younger demographic. >> chuck, thank you. next time if we have more time, you'll have to tell us how you managed to get sleep because i was watching you last night when i went to bed. >> well, that's all right, sleep, i'll sleep in 2017. >> who needs it, right. we'll look for more on "meet the press" where your gues
