I'm glad IA and NH are first. Now Hillary is relieved that IA is out of the way

(and she won, barely, but she won. Iowa should have been a cakewalk for Sanders, but he couldn't deliver)

Now it's NH, where we aren't expecting much... and then Sanders has to face the big, diverse states.

Seems independents can vote in either caucus. CNN reported that a lot of independents went for Bernie and many are more lean right.

So Hillary really won easily with Democrats.

Thanks for putting a number to it. Most of the 20% were republicans hiding as independents.

Hillary could win by a landslide and the Sanders supporters will still insist Bernie is winning. It's astonishing.
