You can deny it as much as you want but it was a virtual tie and both campaigns look very impressive at this point. |
I agree with this overall. But, for headline purposes, Hillary was the overall winner. Not to undermine Bernie's long journey to get to where he is. I liked Bernie's comments on the results of Iowa. I was actually expecting Bernie to win a week ago given Iowa is his home turf, demographically. So, from that perspective, Hillary won because a good amount of Hillary fans were predicting she would lose Iowa and New Hampshire and that impact of losing both the first two states would impact the race. No one (well, at least not recently) believed Hillary was going to win Iowa by a landslide. That's a belief from a year ago today.
Honestly, I think we should quit worrying about Iowa because, while Hillary may have won technically, it was too close to really worry about this point seeing as how we have 49 other states to go through.
