Supposedly how many of Clintons resources she put in this.

Iowa is not the most liberal state in the union. Plus it appears Sanders is doing better with lower income peeps. As we go into poorer states, I think he can do better.

A couple weeks ago, it was, "Sanders cannot win in Iowa." Now he must not lose. I have a funny feeling if he won by 20 points, it would be, "Sanders must win by 25 points."

And Bernie Sanders endorsed Jesse Jackson for president in 1988, was active in the Civil Rights movement during the 1960s, and never engaged in using seemingly racist undertones as a means to win a political race.

Hillary Clinton, in contrast, ran a now infamous 3 a.m. ad with a reportedly "racist sub-message" against Obama in 2008. According to Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson's New York Times op-ed titled "The Red Phone in Black and White," Hillary Clinton resorted to exploiting racial fears during 2008's heated competition for the White House:
