Iowa made people take notice of Obama. Same for Bernie. People have to be given permission to vote for him. The person in the article is giving the same and only reason a lot of people support HRC (the loud minority at DU may be an exception) and that is that they think she can win and raise a lot of money. But in their hearts, they agree with traditional principles. He's got to win so this narrative that he's a fringe candidate can be put to bed.
