For example, the Iowa caucus was really close overall when you get to the true distance between Obama, Edwards and then her. Saying third place makes it feel like a huge loss. But when the numbers were within hundreds, it's not so huge.

She lost them badly. Like more than 20% in most of them badly.

I simply do not see anybody being capable of duplicating that against her this go around.

Obama made much, much noise about the Nevada caucus after losing it. It was high drama time.
