For the FIRST TIME in US History a woman wins the Iowa Caucus! [View all] JaneyVee Feb 2016 OP

Has there been an official announcement ??? SamKnause Feb 2016 #1

Not yet. peacebird Feb 2016 #75

22 delegates each and 6 coin tosses. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #2

I guess you're forgetting superdels? JaneyVee Feb 2016 #5

Superdelegates are uncommitted. I'm not forgetting them, at all. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #9

Hillary has over 380 pledged superdels, Bernie has 6. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #12

They are not "pledged" legally, they are uncommitted. John Poet Feb 2016 #15

Sure, right, ok. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #16

If you remember JV, and I'm sure you do,..... Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #92

pledged ya I guess that's the word azurnoir Feb 2016 #43

Haha! Helen Borg Feb 2016 #57

They can change their minds. Pledges are not legally binding are they? JDPriestly Feb 2016 #84

Where have I seen this before? senz Feb 2016 #3

Well done! bvf Feb 2016 #60

I am amazed that this vote was so close. I am glad no coin tosses were involved. Vattel Feb 2016 #91

Thanks, Vattel. senz Feb 2016 #121

I think it is WRONG to compare any Democratic Candiate to Bush. Shame on you riversedge Feb 2016 #93

K&R Cali_Democrat Feb 2016 #4

She didn't win Matariki Feb 2016 #6

she was just named the apparent winner. So she did win Lil Missy Feb 2016 #7

By who? Officially? Matariki Feb 2016 #8

By NPR and the Des Moines Register BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #63

That is a bit of a joke. Let's see how this turns out. Typical Clinton. Typical Clinton. JDPriestly Feb 2016 #85

No, it's not unseemly... Adrahil Feb 2016 #97

Were there really six coin tosses? And did Hillary win all of them? JDPriestly Feb 2016 #98

Apparently, yes. But.... Adrahil Feb 2016 #99

6/11,065 votes, and apparently it is not correct she won all six either. bettyellen Feb 2016 #123

I'm not sure how you find it BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #100

1. It is a joke to win a caucus based on a coin toss. That is not a win. That is a joke. JDPriestly Feb 2016 #101

+1000000 SammyWinstonJack Feb 2016 #118

If she won *anything*, she won a few coin tosses in a row. (nt) w4rma Feb 2016 #10

Lets be serious, this state Iowa was... JaneyVee Feb 2016 #11

Blah blah blah Matariki Feb 2016 #17

Thanks, but you know Im right. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #19

Oh, word in the news is that Clinton spent 90% of her funds on Iowa Matariki Feb 2016 #21

Bernie outspent Hillary in Iowa. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #45

Well, I'm sure her super pacs will take care of her in the rest of the races. Matariki Feb 2016 #47

btw Matariki Feb 2016 #55

LOL. Read the date. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #59

Well worth it--Hillary has the mojo now riversedge Feb 2016 #103

She is not going to have time this week to meet and greet with the NH voters Flying Phoenix Feb 2016 #116

Revisionist history angrychair Feb 2016 #48

Bernie had a +11 in a Iowa poll last week. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #62

Gag. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #13

And the silliness continues. Jury results: Live and Learn Feb 2016 #18

That was a pretty ridiculous comment though. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #20

I don't find it ridiculous. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #22

Why, because it says woman? JaneyVee Feb 2016 #24

Not if you were the one claiming to be one and the post was to you. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #27

Women all around the globe.... JaneyVee Feb 2016 #29

Yeah, by people like her. Fawke Em Feb 2016 #31

Spends her life fighting global poverty and AIDS... JaneyVee Feb 2016 #34

Did she? Really??? nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #56

I don't think you have any idea what oppression really is. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #32

Quick example of double standard: JaneyVee Feb 2016 #33

I can only judge by Hillary supporters that did the same to Bernie. Luckily, that percentage is Live and Learn Feb 2016 #36

Lets be clear: If this Dem race was between 2 men.... JaneyVee Feb 2016 #38

LOL Hillary added unicorns to her campaign tonight. Did you miss that? nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #39

LOL at your last paragraph... JaneyVee Feb 2016 #40

You are where you are thanks to previous generations that fought to ensure you weren't opressed. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #46

Bernie voted for more military action (Kosovo, Somalia, Afghan) and JaneyVee Feb 2016 #49

DO YOU REALIZE HOW FREAKING SEXIST YOU SOUND? JaneyVee Feb 2016 #64

Do you realize you are yelling? Not at all sexist. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #69

No more sexist than the OP. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2016 #106

Because Hillary wasn't inoffice and didn't cast a vote either way. Such silliness is really beneath Live and Learn Feb 2016 #53

Thats like saying "an Af-American that knows nothing about real Af-Americans" JaneyVee Feb 2016 #26

Congrats to Hillary Clinton. A hard fought win. ProudToBeLiberal Feb 2016 #28

So she won cause she didn't lose as bad as previously? Interesting concept. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #37

She won the caucuses outright. ProudToBeLiberal Feb 2016 #54

No Bush in office, perhaps? Live and Learn Feb 2016 #67

You might be right, but I honestly thought Bernie would win Polk. ProudToBeLiberal Feb 2016 #70

She did great! Firebrand Gary Feb 2016 #42

Good point. nt SunSeeker Feb 2016 #44
