Tell me again....WHO'S the pragmatist?

Iowa is about as close to 50/50 as you can get.

Hillary is declaring victory. Technically true since she won by a nose. So she's earned the right to giggle and dance and sing "I won I won I won."

Bernie is declaring it a tie. No one want's to say "I lost by a nose." So calling it a tie works for him.

But this is not the Kentucky Derby where a nose will get you all the glory. It isn't that easy. I think America can handle the "complicated" version of "She's got a few more votes than I do." vs "I won I won I won." Whichever way the primaries end up the eventual nominee I want to hear the real deal and not a bunch of propaganda.

She can't believe all of that Goldman Sachs money didn't blow Bernie out of the water.
