NOT interested in sober splashes of cold water at this point.

I'm 100% sure he's already won.

This post seems the very definition of hubris and cockiness.

Claiming victory before the fact: Isn't that something we frequently fault the Clinton camp for? Is that behavior really something we want to adopt?

I really feel like he's a winner already, even if he doesn't take first place tomorrow in Iowa.

I'm celebrating the fact that a Presidential candidate who is so close to my ideology has become so popular so quickly. I didn't think this was possible. It is a revolution in the making.

Eight years ago, no one thought President Obama had much chance of becoming President, either. Then he won Iowa.

I hope Bernie is going to win Iowa, and he is going to be our next President.

I'm delighted that Bernie has made it this far and fervently hope he wins tomorrow. He's the candidate I've waited 35 years for. But I'll hold off on celebrating his win in Iowa until... well, until he wins in Iowa.

Tomorrow is going to be a nail-biter. We've got a superb candidate who's threatening to upset the apple cart. Every powerful entity in the status quo, the mainstream media included, is hoping to torpedo his campaign. If he wins tomorrow, it will be magnificent and a bit of a miracle.
