How is she a comeback? Didn't she win in IA? TwilightGardener Feb 2016 #15

Comeback from what? I thought she "won" Iowa and beat Bernie back Armstead Feb 2016 #20

Right--maybe this polling bump is her being fresh off her big "victory"? TwilightGardener Feb 2016 #21

The OP is about New Hampshire, not Iowa. nt Cali_Democrat Feb 2016 #37

Sad that you back a cold, dismissive centrist, but that's your call. Ken Burch Feb 2016 #36

I think it may be close. But I think Bernie can pull it off. TwilightGardener Feb 2016 #13

If she can get to within single digits, we can call it a "virtual tie". nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #16

Well, no. If she can get within one percent or less, you can call it a virtual tie. TwilightGardener Feb 2016 #18
