Boone County - Rural Precinct 1 results in a Clinton-Sanders tie.

Does that mean the magic heads Hillary wins, tails Bernie loses coin comes out to play again?

It's like Hillary is back to betting on cattle futures again, drawing to 1.5625% by going 6-for-6 per the Des Moines Register.

Given the media's obsession with the communist who must not be named, they'll probably focus on the coin flips, focus on the Polk County counting incident and try to spin it so that $anders will be seen as the winner. Never mind the fact that all of those incidents were faked by the $anders campaign so that he would have an excuse for losing like the communist that he is. Honestly, when Hillary becomes president, I hope she bans all biased media.

Sanders should be seen as the "winner" here. A few months ago, the commie had no chance in Iowa. He managed to basically make this thing a tie with the ethically-challenged one, especially with the convoluted way you guys count votes in Iowa. Coin flips in an election? Should that ever happen?

It's no different than the Republican side where Rubio should get a lot of mileage out of defying expectations and performing 8 points or so better than expected and likely becoming the GOP-e candidate of choice. That's really what it's about right now. Exceeding expectations.

That's utter BS. People were saying for AGES that Bernie could win Iowa. FiveThirtyEight wrote an article in July: "Bernie could win IA/NH, and lose everywhere else." I even remember including it on his "ceiling" primary map back in like...2014?

It doesn't matter what you or I think. We follow this stuff very closely. I am talking about what the media-driven narrative is going to be for Joe Six-Pack that doesn't follow this as closely.

On the Democrat side, Bernie defied conventional wisdom and expectations. He "won" the night.

On the Republican side, Trump lost, which could be deadly, Cruz exceeded expectations, but the biggest "winner" of the night was Marco "Gang of Eight" Rubio, who went from a distant third or fourth to a close third. That may be enough to give him a top two finish in New Hampshire.

With that said though, I don't think you see a repeat of 2008 for Hillary at this point in time. The commie will get throttled down South in states with large African-American Democrat populations. He's no Obama.
