Occasionally people have suggested that if Sanders performed well in the Iowa caucuses, he could see his support from people of color increase in the same way it did for Barack Obama in 2008.

Public Policy Polling just released the first national poll that was conducted after the Iowa caucuses. In it, Clinton maintained a 21 point lead (53/32) against Sanders. Her support among African Americans remained overwhelming (82/8) and she leads Sanders among Latinos (48/36). So the firewall seems to be holding

8. There is so much BS being thrown around. Threads are spewing out on the Quinnipiac national poll

conveniently ignoring the other polls, and the fact that most likely the Quinnipiac poll is an outlier until proven otherwise.

In fact, the Quinnipiac poll contradicts the state polls, so that should raise a red flag.

Bill Maher was pushing the "Hillary is finished" theme on his show tonight, only focusing on the Iowa caucus, and ignoring what happens after NH and Super Tuesday. After that, I didn't stay to watch the rest of Maher's bullshit analysis.

The week before I had to walk away from Maher's garbage last week too when he was pandering some HIV/AIDS. quackery for Samir Chachoua, who said he found the cure for AIDS, and Maher was fawning all over him:

I never was that big of a fan of Maher anyway, and these last two shows he has had, have put him on my "don't waste your time watching his BS" list.

9. Right. There were four other polls in the same time period, all with substantially

closer margins.

10. 1st Amendment which I respect.

So far as to Bill M, he wants HRC and BHO on his show!

13. Bill Maher once claimed that he was a Libertarian, so I've never been enamored with him.

He also voted for Nader in 2000, and helped unleashed Duhbya on our country and the M.E.

He made it right with me when he stood staunchly behind Obama and even donated a million bucks to his re-election, but despite the fact that he's a political comedian, he doesn't know much about how our Gov't actually works. He's chastened President Obama for not getting more things through, completely ignoring the fact that President Obama had to contend with the most obstructionist Republican Congress in history, facing unprecedented opposition from them as the Teabaggers slowly took over.

So I'm not surprised he's fawning all over Bernie.

18. Come on, give him a break!

He's first and foremost a political satirist/comedian!

Now - just from that perspective - who would you want in the White House? Besides Trump?

[lunamagica]

11. What? But, but AA are abandoning Hillary in droves!

Thanks Pnwnom! Big K&R!

[Lil Missy]

15. True! I heard it on the DU!

[UtahLib]

12. K&R for great info.

[BlueCaliDem]

14. Oh wow. Those are nearing the numbers for President Obama. This is wonderful news because

it tells me that Bernie's run for the Democratic nomination is pretty much over.

[SunSeeker]

16. Excellent! nt

[yallerdawg]

17. Sanders is going to springboard off his Iowa numbers!

You know - the 'virtual tie'?

And he did actually tie Hillary in delegates from non-white voters in Iowa!

It was 0-0! There weren't enough minority participants in Iowa to tally a single delegate!

I guess he'll have to make a stand in - New Hampshire?

[MoonRiver]

19. Great numbers!

Thanks for posting pnwmom!

20. Madame president!
