Rubio is way over performing. I think he's the strongest general election GOP candidate.

I think you're right. Cruz' unlikability is palpable. And every person who was willing to vote Trump has already been counted. Unless Rubio starts getting pounded on his financial problems and it sticks. You never know.

Rubio scares me. I think he could win the whole thing.

After tonight I think the GOP establishment is going to get fully on the Rubio train and that will help him breakout of the establishment/moderate candidate clog in NH.

Sanders is just .6% away from Clinton. Taking Iowa would be big for his campaign.

The initial vote in my precinct was something like 71 for Bernie, 56 for Hillary, 5 for O'Malley and 5 undecided. O'Malley was far short of the 15% threashold. So that meant those 10 O'Malley + undecideds had to choose Hillary or Bernie. Hillary got 8 of them and Bernie 2. So the final count was Bernie 73, Hillary 64. The whole thing took about 90 minutes. I got there a bit early and was there for about 2 hours total.
