I can predict a new Bernie theme:

[CajunBlazer]

We won, because we came from so far back. IT"S AMAZING!!!

(making chicken salad out of chicken pellets.)

[DURHAM D]

1. It has already started on CNN. nt

[NCTraveler]

2. Lol. The fifty state Sanders sweep seems to be put on hold. Nt

[virtualobserver]

3. don't count your chicken salad before it spoils

[CajunBlazer]

8. I'm not counting chicken...

I am counting which counties have votes still not counted.

[cherokeeprogressive]

25. More like "Don't count your ROCKS before the CONTINENT'S done MOVING."

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. Be careful...Bernie might flip it

Lots of votes out in counties Bernie's winning by 8-10%.

[Arazi]

5. poor thing, sour grapes are a bummer at this picnic

[TCJ70]

6. LOL...

...this is great. Hillary supporters go on and on about how she's inevitable and blah blah blah. Now that she's in danger of losing Iowa (again), Bernie's gains are pellets. This is hilarious. Also, you do realize, that if she does win, she'll need every single one of those Bernie supporters you love to hate because you KNOW she won't get any GOP/Indy crossover, right?

[CajunBlazer]

13. Isn't it hard to laugh while crying?

What happen to "once we win both Iowa and NH, the other states will flip for Bernie?

[TCJ70]

17. You'd have to ask someone else...

...I never made any predictions about wins or losses. Also, there's less than 1% difference between them at the moment so it's really still up in the air.

[dflprincess]

7. Just like Eugene McCarthy did in '68.

He only got 40% of the vote in New Hampshire but a lot of people think that they remember he won the primary.

And if Bernie pulls this out and wins I'm sure we'll be hearing from the Clinton supporters that Iowa really doesn't matter.

[CajunBlazer]

44. I'll give you NH and take Nevada and SC + at least 12 of 14 states...

.... in the SEC primaries.

Fair trade?

[Nanjeanne]

9. But that would be true

I don't understand the Clinton supporters to negate everything. He is coming from way behind. Hillary has always been the front runner. The woman who's time has come. Why shouldn't the Sanders people feel good that they could do so well against the woman no one thought would even have a challenger?

[CajunBlazer]

14. See, it's starting aleady

[Armstead]

10. Hubris is noit an attractive trait

[cali]

11. It's essentially a tie. You are the one making chicken salad out of

chicken shit. She had virtually all the advantages of an incumbent, more money, every endorsement in the state, more offices, more staffers. She blew a 60 point lead.

Enjoy your chicken shit, oops, I mean chicken salad.

[CajunBlazer]

18. 83% of the vote in

Sander's would have to win the remaining votes by over 5% to pull even. Do the math.

[cali]

30. Lol.

[Cary]

35. You have a month left

I might say "enjoy" too, if I were like you. Fortunately for me I believe in policy not personality.

[cali]

39. Hey, I've said all along hilly will be annointed

Too bad for us. She can't win.

[Cary]

40. She will win in spite of squishy erstwhile Democrats on a mission..

to perpetuate "conservative" lies and smears.

To what end, God knows. But they turn out to be irrelevant.

[cali]

49. Oh, wake up.

[Cary]

57. What is that supposed to mean?

I don't favor storming the Bastille. That never works.

[Motown_Johnny]

12. She did have a large lead and lost it.

Hard to argue that.


Our nominee will not have such a large advantage going into the General election. Nominating someone who loses a big lead or someone who overcomes being well behind is very different.

[CajunBlazer]

19. But weren't you guys saying that Bernie was going win Iowa?

[Motown_Johnny]

20. Weren't you guys saying the same about Hillary?

Plus, all the polls had Hillary winning by anything from 4 - 8 percent.


Looks like she isn't as strong as we have been told she is.

[Nanjeanne]

32. No. But I was sure hoping he would. But staying this close is pretty damn great.

[cali]

33. Nope. I lost a bet tonight because I bet she'd win by 7

Never been so delighted to lose a bet.

[neverforget]

15. An unknown Senator from Vermont came from WAY behind to possibly beat

the former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State. Yeah, I'd say he was the underdog in this race.

[CajunBlazer]

21. Well if you can'at say your candidate won....

....salvage the situation anyway you can.

[neverforget]

23. It's not over yet so it's a bit premature.

Either way, it's close.

[CajunBlazer]

26. Heck, we knew it would be close....

...the only thing that wasn't known was who would win.

[neverforget]

29. And I think that's great for the Party and democracy in general.

People need to be involved in this democracy.

[DefenseLawyer]

16. You mean like Bill Clinton in '92?

"The comeback kid"?

[CajunBlazer]

24. LOL!!! Bernie Sanders has already proven he is no Barack Obama....

And he is no Bill Clinton either.

[DefenseLawyer]

27. Bill Clinton declared himself the winner

By coming in 3rd in New Hampshire. But hey, it's your lame narrative, not mine.

[cherokeeprogressive]

22. It's called "momentum", dufus.

[CajunBlazer]

31. How does a loss generate momentum

Wouldn't it be better for momentum if Sanders actually won?

[cherokeeprogressive]

34. I guess you've never heard the phrase describing losing the battle but winning the war.

[bettyellen]

47. Sadly, the war is Super Tuesday. Our system sucks, but there it is.

[cherokeeprogressive]

52. You so completely make my point it's not funny.

[bettyellen]

54. The system totally sucks. But not as much as Republicans do.

[cali]

36. Watch Desperate Cajun Desperately Spin

I'm enjoying your song and dance, Cajun. Spin, baby, spin!

[bettyellen]

55. Pointing and laughing as usual. Awesome.

[morningfog]

28. Aw, Hill a 30 point lead! LOLOLLOLL.

[dana_b]

37. down to a .04 percent lead

wow...

[CajunBlazer]

42. I know if my candidate was losing, I would not be laughing

[morningfog]

43. How's that delegate count coming?? LOLOOLOLOL.

And we'll see when the counting is done whether she won by any metric. LOLOLOLOL

[brewens]

38. One woman at Polk county I saw speak twice was all "woman in the White House." That on

C-SPAN2's coverage. One was something like, "it's time. Time for a woman president!" Then another talking to a guy with his daughter, "you have a daughter here, wouldn't you like her to see a woman in the White House?" She seemed to be one of the women in charge of the Clinton effort in her county. But that's not the focus of most of her supporters of course! LOL

[Ron Green]

41. SUCK OF THE DAY!!

Someone who really doesn't get it.

[bettyellen]

45. CNN said Bernie intends to declare victory in 30 minutes. This is a pisser!

I love this!!

[hobbit709]

46. I have a Bernie theme for you: FEEL THE BERN!!

[morningfog]

48. It's simpler than that: MOMENTUM

[KingFlorez]

50. A loss is a loss

If he does not win Iowa, then it's a loss and it's ridiculous if he spins it. You don't win by losing.

[2pooped2pop]

53. Or Hillary's. I almost lost from the guy who didn't have a chance.

Or so we thought.

[frylock]

56. The humility just shines through!

Clinton was up 41 points in late October!
