Hillary's campaign wasn't expecting such a close race, so they're scrambling to bring in some new people, shift things around, and change her message.

It's too late for that.

poll.

Always a source of entertainment.

Hillary may yet claim the nomination but it will cost her the General unless she crafts some novel new stratagem.

Bernie went from down 50pts to a tie, a tie that Hillary maintains a molecule thin lead in via a few lucky coin tosses.

Hillary got 274 more voters go for her. Under that measure she won.

She currently has 3 or 4 more state delegates, but that number will change when o'malley's 8 are allocated. So under that measure, she is "winning," winner to be determined.

As for pledged delegates in the primary, she has 1 more, again it will change. So she is winning there.

She did win.

But the most important metric, public perception, she lost big. Blew a 30+ point lead in two months. Blew the bank and Bernie is down only one pledged delegate, heading into his home turf, where his victory will be decisive. He is the story, she lost the game of politics.

Delagate wise, it was pretty much a tie. To New Hampshire and beyond.

It makes me happy to look at her. I love people like her. Always have.

Yet the majority of DUers still say Bernie won.

Bernie won, dammit!

Fuck the fascist oligarchy!

I'd call that a win any day.

Hillary can't win a fair fight, so yes Bernie did win.

but she clearly lost her "inevitability".

It's a very simple and straightforward question.

I'm surprised so many folks here are having trouble answering it.

Normally you abandon them and the gotcha never comes. lol.

But an awesome showing. He did better than I thought he would against the Clinton machine.

Why are 70% of DUers saying he won Iowa?

She knows it, her campaign knows it, even her supporters here desperately trying to spin it into some kind of definitive and primary-concluding victory (lol) know it.

You could read it all over their faces.

I realize it is anathema to a certain Clintonian style of politics to ever admit that maybe there's a problem, but, there's a problem.

And if she IS gonna be our nominee- I still give it pretty good odds- plopping around in a delusional stupor about "She's doing GREAT zomg, no problems here, her style, positions and messaging are exemplary!" is gonna set us all up for some real fuckin' problems this November.

Looking at pledged delegates and SDE's, I'm seeing Hillary winning.

Where is this so-called tie?

Again, you know exactly what happened. So does the media. So does the American people. So does the Clinton family AND the Hillary campaign.

So give it up. Or keep spinning, if it makes you feel better.

The person claiming 23 to 21 is a tie or the one who says it isn't a tie?

But there's not jack shit you can do about it.

Simple truth that you apparently can't handle.

In terms of final delegate count, yes, Hillary came out with 2 more than Sanders. But the importance of Iowa- reasonably intelligent people know this- is not the final delegate count so much as it is momentum and temperature-taking of the electorate. The final percentages were 49.9% to 49.6%. Yes, had this been a presidential election the person with a few more votes would get the office. But again, we all know that the real prize from Iowa is, again, perception of momentum and an indication of how the voters feel about the candidates.

In all those regards, Hillary performed well below expectations, and Sanders; who came into this from way behind and was practically unknown, demonstrated that he is not going away, not this week.

Anyone who watches the two speeches last night can see who has the momentum. It's obvious.

But go ahead, continue with the condescension, the deliberate obtuseness, the meaningless memes, the distractions, the denial, the entitlement, the perpetual belief that the "Dreary", "inauthentic", "phony", "uninspiring" campaign - words from an Op-Ed you guys called "spot on" - is actually connecting with the voters, all of it.... Team Clinton may think it's working, but it isn't.

She lost her "inevitable" status, he gained a more definite "possible" status.

For the millions who, due to the MSM blackout, barely knew who he was, Bernie has become visible.

Now a larger share of America can Feel the Bern.

Yes, Iowa was a win for the Sanders campaign.

We the People lost.

Rubio also lost last night, but was successful.

OTHER, that was never true!! Oh how hard they tried, and will keep trying. What people heard him talk about didn't match WHAT other's said he IS!

People began to believe that Socialism ISN'T Communism! He showed who he was, and people REALLY like WHO he is!

Unlike O'Malley.

So I'd vote for Other if that was an option in your poll.
