I think each candidate gets whatever delegates pledge, so while I certainly expect Hillary to win Iowa, if she doesn't it isn't a huge deal, just symbolism. Bernie will probably take NH but after that he's gong to sink out in the midwest and south.

The Bernie club is getting pretty braggy lately but they realistically don't have much of a prayer in the long game.
