Apparently New Hampshire is a neighbor state to New York. |

7. Yes, and that is an important distinction. |
|
Exit polls aren't always reliable. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're not. Ones with solid methodology and execution are very reliable, although not infallible. Ones with weaker methodology or flawed execution sometimes arrive at the right result, but usually are wrong.

5. Where does that border state thing come from? |

I didn't understand Iowa & Illinois being neighbor states either even though they border each other. Is it just name recognition from media spillover?
Thanks for the congrats. And good luck for the rest of the race! :hi:

6. And, don't forget - Iowa is representative of every other state in the country! |

Learned that one last week. It is a perfectly accurate representation of every other state in the country. A self-described "political expert" told me that one, so it must be true.

10. I heard that NH really had a caucus, but it was secret so that |

Hillary could steal the state.
