The elephant in the room......

.......delegates! Primaries are all about delegates. As a non-committed voter, all I look at are the delegate counts. That's what wins nominations. Last night ended with the race now at 29-21. Way to close for anyone to be gloating, but a clear winner was declared for that particular race. On to NH, where Sanders will probably win more than Clinton. Then, SC will chime in and probably give Clinton the lead again. Both of our candidates did well, but in the end, its the one with the most delegates. We have a race, so let it play out before you make an ass out of yourself. It does no democrat any good to make snide remarks about either candidate. Its a fifty lap race and we have just completed one. Jeez Louise! I sincerely do not care which candidate prevails. I will vote for the nominee, and you should too, IMHO.

Seems like Iowa was for the 44 delegates.
