On the subject of coin tossing...

it's funny how when we can't figure out what to do next, we wind up throwing money at the problem

grandpa always said, to figure out what goes on it politics, just follow the money - I didn't realize it could be so literal though!

sorry if this weak attempt at humor offends anyone, I *really* wanted Bernie to take this one, just feeling a bit goofy after the craziness last night

Yes, she got the 'win', which will be asterisked by the media for the length of the race, but her goal was to knock Sanders out of the race right here at the start. To whup him by a respectable margin, and paint him as a no-hoper. She poured enormous resources into that goal, and came up winning by about the slimmest margin possible. Sanders, on the other hand, wanted to come out being taken seriously, finally. And he did it. With this, and hopefully a resounding double digit win in New Hampshire, he'll get a lot more of the folks who thought he WAS a no-hoper to sign on, just as they did with Obama in 08, after he likewise proved he could compete. Get those trend lines rising again, and fight Clinton right up until the moment the FBI indicts her and her campaign craters.
