Advice to all candidates in the run .. if you can..

Stay until after Super Tuesday, money of course is a factor.. but hang in there.. These first few contests are small and are proving grounds for everyone campaign strategies.. If you can.. stick with it till after Super Tuesday. Super Tuesday will tell the tale.

Having said that Congratulations to Pete Buttigieg for your Iowa win and Bernie Sanders for your NH win.

No one is blowing it out of the water yet.

Good! Bernie's BIG REVOLUTION and GROUNDSWELL turned out to be a bit of a "squeaker" didn't it?

That should be devastating to him considering that New Hampshire (of all places) has an ethnic demographic that is perfectly suited to Bernie's message. And even with that advantage, and the advantage of "being known" in a neighboring state, and having national name-recognition (ie: not a newcomer), he still only managed to BARELY eek out a win.

That's pretty revealing, isn't it? Not a good sign. (Well, not a good sign for him, but I'm pleased as punch. Tickled pink.)

No one running is like Obama, who was a rock star among politicians. They are not getting those numbers.. so its still up in the air. Its going to take a big turn in about two weeks on focus. No one should leave the race yet, unless they just do not have the funds to do it.. well then you cannot do it.. but I think the top 5 are good to go through Super Tuesday!!

It really was not a good enough show for Sanders. They have to be worried

Yes they are. The smears and insults are already beginning against South Carolina and other states with great ethnic diversity that's not favorable to Sanders. I guess some mistakes are hard to learn from, or it's difficult for some campaigns to comprehend how dismissive and insulting rhetoric can harm a campaign.

Oh, please Lord, I hope nobody starts to call them "Confederate States" again!
