If he wins Iowa, he wins New Hampshire. If he wins both, Nevada is in play. If he wins those three, there's a shot at South Carolina.

That is a heavy schedule. But necessary.

And you are correct on Nevada in play if he gets NH--which he should. It was mentioned in this forum before Christmas what you just stated but there would be a domino effect from Iowa and NH.

I hope that the case.

And if Bernie has "good feeling" about Iowa, then perhaps its a sign he will get the nomination. I pray that is the case.

If he wins Iowa I will drink heavily anyway.
