IMHO, the big winner out of Iowa is Mike Bloomberg [View all]

He has just DOUBLED his ad buys in the states where he is already doing heavy TV. I wonder how much ad time is even available to the rest of the field before Super Tuesday.

Bloomberg could be at close to 20% in the polls by Super Tuesday, and if he does well in CA, everything changes.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
