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.
Tell the truth. You guys played Red Rover to decide, didn't you?

Congratulations to Ted Cruz on winning the critically important primary state that also gave us President Santorum and President Huckabee.

The best thing about the Iowa Caucus is that it only happens once every four years.

Silver lining in Cruz winning is maybe the pollsters and punditry don't know what the hell they're talking about. Maybe someone like Kasich could sneak in there. Or at least not Trump or Cruz.

And go Bernie. I think what he's doing is great, even if it only ultimately serves to pay forward.
