another reason the clinton campaign is not optimistic about closing the gap here. this race is getting nastier. sanders has denounced the supporters who have been engaging in online harassment. >> andrea, thank you very much. >> let's bring in our experts. nicolle wallace served as an adviser to the mccain-palin campaign, and chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." >> good morning. >> chuck, big moment, big stakes. chris christie absolutely eviscerated marco rubio. it's like a game of three-dimensional chess. where does it fall out? >> i think the consequence of what happened saturday night is, i think no matter what happens here, barring one of the candidates sort of skyrocketing or an upset over trump, i think i think it means new hampshire doesn't win out the field. marco rubio had an opportunity to take control of the race on saturday night. he knew everybody was going to come after him. that's what makes saturday night so perplexing. he knew they were coming after him and he wasn't ready. he ended up blowing an opportunity that i think could have been meani

so they're spending less time calculating and more time persuading. >> reporter: the clinton campaign estimates 125,000 door knocks this weekend alone, 4,200 team members and captains in place. sanders' ground team equally impressive, 76,000 door knocks, over 15,000 volunteers. clinton still playing defense on her private e-mails when she was secretary of state. that have led up to it are concerning. >> reporter: sanders, who's been reluctant to weigh in on the issue, spoke on "meet the press." >> you know, i think this is a serious issue. i will not attack hillary clinton. the american people will have to make that judgment. >> reporter: and with the clock ticking, voters are now ready to have their say. >> who are you supporting? >> bernie sanders. >> why hillary clinton? >> i honestly think that she has the most experience and can do the job. >> nbc's kristen welker reporting. and make sure to tune in this thursday for the new hampshire democratic debate airing on msnbc. clinton, sanders, and martin o'malley are all expected to attend. >>> now, with polling tight, donald trump and

new hampshire has been kind to the clintons. with bill clinton in the past. his campaign. 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 expectation this will tighten. you have polls showing between 20 or 30 points for sanders. tighten. 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

say the clinton campaign is acting nervous, what do you mean by that? by the fact they're spending so much time in nevada? >> they realize that it's a -- that losing again, and suddenly essentially, sanders won the first three contests. the iowa victory, every day that goes by, there's questions about how big was that victory and did she really win, or did she luck out because of the way the counting process is? that's what i mean by that. they're very nervous. the idea of losing back to back. to lose the first state they faced off against each other that isn't an overly white state, that's what makes them so nervous. that's why, if they can win now, they put away a lot of questions with her. >> thanks so much. >>> now to the nation's capital where the debate rages on over who should replace justice antonin scalia. andrea mitchell has more on that looming battle. good morning. >> good morning. the battle to replace antonin scalia is reshaping that 2016 campaign. with the republican presidential candidates taking a hard line against confirming anyone tha

the clinton campaign said they were relieved they won nevada. a lot of people were looking at how it was going to spin and the story changed because of the result. african-american voters. that'll be important in south carolina this saturday. what's the path forward for sanders? >> i think she made it difficult to imagine a scenario where bernie sanders overtakes her. she's become almost trump-like on the democratic side. the democratic process makes it harder for an upset candidate like bernie sanders. this was a decisive victory for her. she goes to represent much more favorable terrain for her and her message. >> saturday ends up being quite important in this race. good to have you both. thank you so much. >> thanks, guys. >>> also this morning, disturbing new information emerging about the uber driver suspected of killing six people during a weekend shooting ram pain in kalamazoo, michigan. blake mccoy has more on the investigation. good morning. >> good morning from kalamazoo. this is where that driver is expected to be charged later today

the new hampshire loss is in the rearview mirror, and the clinton campaign is focusing on the future. theyre looking past the next primary, all the way to early march, when ohio voters will go to the polls. the former president is expected to head to a fund raiser and a rally today... one of the messages he's expected to deliver is to urge ohioans to get out and vote. kroger officials are making an announcement ...related to the anti-overdose drug, narcan.. kroger is not giving many details... if the chain decides to sell the life-saving drug...we are told...this would impact greater c-v-s started selling narcan over-the-counter this month. in columbus... several people stabbed and the suspect.... shot and killed by police... officers say.... they were called to easton town center last night for a man with a machete. the suspect was shot and killed nearby. five people were taken to the hospital. starting this morning we have a shot at some flurries. most places will just be cloudy and cold. as we head through the day winds start to pick up. we'll top out in the upper 20s this afternoo

>> the clinton campaign seems nervous and the sanderss confident at this point. this is clearly fairly close. they've both dumped a lot of money in here. this is actually though a must-win for sanders.why. there is this idea he can't win in states that are more diverse. nevada is base ically 60/40 white to non-white, at least the waydemocratic kau kis is caucus is going to turn out. a narrow loss and the clinton campaign can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing south carolinahey're likely to roll there, too. a sanders victory puts more pressure on clinton. then the questions are, oh, maybe sanders can win minority then the pressure on her to win south carolina is as great as it's been in any state so far. the way hillary clinton iss race, with more of a contrast, going right after sanders recently? >> if you listen to bill clinton and hillary clinton, they're all trying to make this a referendum on sanders. they know if it's a referendum on hillary clinton, she won't doith democratic voters. put the focus on sanders. they think the more attention given to his ideas,

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. th 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 hampshire. that is another story. they will say that. they want the media to put an asterisk on it. they want to say we beat expectations. >> elise, quickly. afafr new hampshir south carolina primary. hillary clinton doing very well in south carolina. do very well aroundd the south as well. after new hampshire, is there a path for bernie sanders? >> i think it just depends on how successful bernie is at expanding his message beyond non-white voters and if he can so far, he hasast been successful. >> it is exciting to watch. elise and steve, thank you for talking with us this morning. >>> several authorities are holding a michigan man who they say was plotting terrorist attacks in the name of isis. a federal complaint alleges the 22-year-old pla
