I assume everyone who cares knows the results of the Iowa caucuses. The unexpectedly strong showing of Rubio makes me very nervous, because I think Clinton is vulnerable to a standard conservative Republican. If Rubio now gathers to himself all of the "establishment" Republican votes, he may manage to win the nomination. I am pleased that Trump handled the loss well, since I want him to win the nomination and destroy the Republican Party. I still think he is the odds-on favorite to win the nomination unless his fervent supporters now abandon him.
Bernie's showing was extraordinary. It is a shame that raw vote totals are not reported on the Democratic side. I would be willing to bet many, many more people caucused for him than for Clinton,
Here is an odd fact I picked up early this morning from the commentary. There were five Democratic caucus sites where the actual vote was even, and by Party rules, a coin toss determined which candidate got the extra odd State Caucus delegate. Clinton won all five of those coin tosses!!! Bernie should have remembered to sacrifice a goat to the gods.

Makes me want to be a conspiracy theorist....
Turns out she won six coin tosses...
I couldn't agree more about Rubio. I think Hillary (or Bernie, for that matter) could dispatch Trump or Cruz, but Rubio would be trouble for Hillary and would, I think, beat Bernie. Tom Unknown
What's notable is not that Bernie didn't remember to sacrifice a goat to the gods, but that HRC did. Whom do you really want to be president?
Now I want to go out for goat curry.
I believe Stephen Colbert had the joke of the day on this. To paraphrase, all of Bernie's inveighing against money in politics apparently caused the currency itself to turn against him. :)
