I know, you also have the expenses of paid campaign staff and such, but broadcasting is normally a good indication on the spending of a campaign. They were all in for Iowa. I don't think by losing so close, it was a TKO for Bernie. Being that he kept it close, he allowed himself to stay in a positive light in the mainstream media, which is key to his campaign. The more they're talking about him, the less he has to spend money to compensate for that. From November - January, Bernie had to outspend Hillary because he wasn't getting enough media exposure due to Donald Trump and all his ridiculousness. It was a blessing in disguise for Hillary's camp, rather they like to admit it or not. Had he lose by a good margin, the media would've pounced and that would've had a trickle down effect.
Bernie will Get New Hampshire and make a viable play at Nevada, which I think will be a 5 point differential. South Carolina will be a double digit win for Hillary and then the SEC/ACC primary that is known as "Super Tuesday" arrives. She'll storm the south, maybe not take all, but majority is a given. Bernie should work on the Midwest states like Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, etc. They're states with great delegate counts and a market he can compete in that cater towards his political strengths.
