Clinton Pressed in Iowa, But Holds Wide Leads Elsewhere
Democrats enter the presidential primary campaign upbeat about their candidates and united in their views on major issues. Sen. Hillary Clinton is the clear frontrunner in New Hampshire and South Carolina, where she holds 19-point and 14-point leads, respectively. However in Iowa she is in a statistical tie with Barack Obama.

(45,251 posts)We have to be willing to do both because Sanders has no big donors--and we don't want him to have any--and paying people to flyer, etc. takes money and, again, he has no big donors.
We can't just send in five dollars once every few months and think we've done our part. If we want Sanders, it has to be about sacrifice.
I want him out there spreading his message, win, lose or draw.

(6,409 posts)The media played up the contest between Clinton and Obama, and treated them as equals. If they mention Sanders at all, it's to explain why he has no chance. I guess they know who butters their bread.

(39,909 posts)Hillary finished 3rd behind Edwards.
...but the Media had already gotten their scripts that this was to be a Horse Race between Hillary and
Obama, so the MSM just edited out John Edwards 2nd Place in Iowa.
Not even Rachel or Keith Olberman (MSNBC) would mention who finished 2nd.
That is when I had to stop watching MSNBC, which ,before that night, I believed to be the last holdout for truth.
Turned out....they were working for the same Boss as the rest of the Commercial TV in the USA.
