Dubya and Obama won the Iowa caucuses in 2000 and 2008. Reagan finished a close second to George H.W. Bush in 1980 (32% to 30%).Jocephus wrote:John Dingell @JohnDingell 31m31 minutes ago
Congratulations to Ted Cruz on winning the critically important primary state that also gave us President Santorum and President Huckabee.
Clinton lost the Iowa caucuses in 1992 because Iowa senator Tom Harkin ran and won with like 76% of the vote. Most of the other candidates didn't even campaign in Iowa that year because they knew they had no chance against Harkin.
Iowa does not do as well in the years when the party out of office is picking the opponent of the incumbent. But Iowa seems to do OK in the years like this one where both parties have to choose a candidate.

I didn't realize Rubio was right there, too.

From FiveThirtyEight:
I'd be good with that. Another 538 person pointed out that a lot of people felt Hillary needed a strong primary challenger so that she'd do better in the general election. It looks like she'll at least be getting a strong challenger.FARAI CHIDEYA 11:51 PM
It’s ironic that Obama has been called a socialist so often in casual political discourse but that Sanders — a self-proclaimed socialist — has done well (regardless of whether he wins) in tonight’s caucuses. That does not speak to whether he can win, or will have the opportunity to compete in, a general election. But in a two-party system, Sanders spent years in the Senate as an independent, already breaking format with American politics. Now a Democrat again, Sanders seems prepared to raise enough funds and get enough support to last to the convention at the very least, if he so chooses. And that, too, may lead to platform-issue horse-trading on the floor of the Democratic convention, even if Sanders is not the party’s nominee.
