Bernie beats the Clinton Political Machine.

The Clintonistas went all-out to make a statement about Bernie's electability. They failed.

I don't know how much they spent, in terms of Money and Volunteer support, but is was surely substantial. I don't think they can keep-up this pace.

of their campaign funds tied up between Iowa and their Brooklyn HQ. The fact that they spent so much in Iowa just to come out in a virtual tie, is not good news for her campaign. Add to that the fact that she has a large number of donors maxed out on contributions, so she has a much smaller pool of individuals to draw money from for the remaining primaries. That doesn't include her SuperPAC's, of course. They will undoubtedly have to start picking up the slack, which could become a liability for her if Bernie makes it more of an issue.
