Tsongas won, followed by Clinton.

He declared himself the comeback kid because he decisively beat Bob Kerrey and set himself up as the alternative to Paul Tsongas.

And Bernie won two states, not three. Congratulations again to Mayor Buttigieg on his hard-earned victory in Iowa.

(That is how we do our elections for good or bad).. but Bernie has claimed victory because he got more actual votes.. (which counts for squat here.. it is the percentages from each caucus)... And I did congratulate Mayor Pete on a well won victory in Iowa in DU.... But if I do not say 3 victories well I am going to have to put up with 29 posts telling me that Iowa is undemocratic and he (Bernie) actually won.. and I just don't feel like filling up my op with the same old same old

And he has won how many states accumulatively?

Look, sure there could be a massive upset. Sure the polls could ALL be wrong and have been wrong consistently with no one noticing. Sure, Deval Patrick and Vermin Lord could run away with the votes.

We won't know who will win Super Tuesday.

But not all hypotheticals are created equal.
