Democrats brace for a messy winter...
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2016/0116/As-primary-race-tightens-Democrats-brace-for-a-messy-winterWASHINGTON — There was a time when Democrats fretted about Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign becoming a coronation and leaving her without the tests of a primary season to prepare for a general election matchup against the Republican nominee.
No one is worried about that anymore.
In the past two weeks, the Democratic race has gone from a relatively civil disagreement over policy to a contentious winter competition between former Secretary of State Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Ms. Clinton's institutional strength and her support among the minority voters who make up a large portion of the party's base still put her in a formidable position, even as polls show Sen. Sanders surging in Iowa and maintaining an edge in New Hampshire.
