Groundhog Day: Clinton again emerges from Iowa facing a battle (McClatchy Washington Bureau)
Hillary Clinton has got a real fight on her hands.
The one-time front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination faces a protracted two-person race following a virtual tie in the Iowa caucuses on Monday after half the voters disillusioned by Washington turned against the establishment politician.
Her rival, Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, galvanized a group of Democrats including many younger, first-time, low-income voters, promising to be the champion of the underpaid, overworked American worker.
With the Democratic Party split, the contest could now stretch easily into March with Clinton forced to fight for a nomination many had long assumed was hers for the taking. The timeline was one Clinton had hoped to avoid when she placed an emphasis on the four early states voting in February.
