Let's all remember that, contrary to many people's mistaken recollections, Eugene McCarthy did not win the New Hampshire primary in 1968. He got 40% of the vote - enough for LBJ to see the handwriting on the wall.

When you think of where Bernie started in the polls, even if the percentages stay just like this, it's a victory for him - though no one in the media or from Clinton's campaign will admit it.

And Iowa isn't winner take all so the difference in the delegate count won't amount to much.
