Sen. Clinton's support was so soft, based on the name recognition.

And the inevitability meme...

This loss- her coming in THIRD, "disappointing" Wolf Blitzer calls it- is really going to hurt her badly.

Just another reason not to play stupid politics. Take the right positions, stand up for them. That will get you solid support that won't get tossed off just because you lost.

1. Blitzer needs an enema 30 days straight

I wish people would quit saying it is a loss.

Coming in first in Iowa does not garner all the delegate votes for all the states. They are split proportionately.

2. After a year of blue ribbon attention from MSM and deep deep pockets

after building up the expectation that they could 'steamroll' the competition, sorry, 29.5% of the votes is quite weak.

Many big spenders are wondering now whether the next millions of bucks are gonna buy more lame results.

Delegates? Almost no difference, you're right. Looking like a strong candidate in contests to come? Very disappointing loss.

IMO
