74. I sincerely feel Bernie has the best shot at winning.

GOP will scream Commie, many voters will recognize the lie outright while many others could care less. What they cannot do is attack Bernie's integrity or sincerity.

With Hillary the GOP will really go nuts. I do not understand the Repubs visceral hatred of all things Clinton but it is real and it seems they hate Clintons worse than Obama.

Yes, that is the Clinton political philosophy in a nutshell. aikoaiko Feb 2016 #15

Her 'winning' could lead to her losing. Especially TxGrandpa Feb 2016 #50

There's no dispute that they occurred. But they had no affect on the outcome. pnwmom Feb 2016 #91

No. The Iowa state party explained that they split the coin tosses and that pnwmom Feb 2016 #90

Iowa was a must win for Sanders Gothmog Feb 2016 #17

Give me a break, Hillary and Bernie tied in Iowa. Karma13612 Feb 2016 #79

Only 2% of the delegates come from states as white and liberal as Iowa and New Hampshire Gothmog Feb 2016 #98

According to the Cook Report, Sanders needed to win 70% of the Iowa delegates to be competitive Gothmog Feb 2016 #19

Iowa showed Sanders' viability and Hillary's vulnerabilty. That's a big win for Sanders. senz Feb 2016 #55

Denial is not just a river in Africa Gothmog Feb 2016 #61

Is that what the Cook Report told you? frylock Feb 2016 #75

It is what math and demographics tell me Gothmog Feb 2016 #97

"Sanders did not come close to the 70% number" NurseJackie Feb 2016 #67

That is an excellent analysis. I kept seeing from lots of sources that he needed to win Iowa to be Number23 Feb 2016 #73
