Listening to an adult man cry with joy. Sheesh.
Anyway...

CNN's Wolf Blitzer: We do in fact feel comfortable with projecting a win for Senator Bernie Sanders, who seems to have a lead in delegates despite a statistical tie in the popular vote. The Decision Desk called this race with 99.3% certainty.
Sanders is currently 0.9% behind on all the live streams I'm watching.
Looks like Bernie shouldn't have ignored that 1%.

A right wing blog I haunt is calling this "the most triumphant third place speech ever."

Isn't it? I have to say Rubio sounds good, very good! He has that certain "something" that appeals to the masses.

He is an accomplished speaker and nowhere near as abrasive as Cruz or Trump.

But now that Trump has lost the Iowa Caucus will he fire himself? Considering he only likes winners?

If Bernie can't convincingly win the White states he's screwed.

Fantastic showing for Sanders. Considering Hillary was up by over 12 points a month ago, Sanders' revolution is looking quite a bit more likely.

I don't know about that. This guy should not even be here, He has no super pacs supporting him. No billionaires have him in their pocket. This guy is reaching out to the people and running a true grass roots campaign. When is the last time that happened in America? Certainly not in my lifetime. Bernie has been an independent his whole career. He has never been a democrat. He is now currently tied with the equivalent of American Royalty in the democratic party. The fact that an outsider can hang with an democratic establishment candidate like Hillary is amazing to say the least. Americans love the underdog/ Rocky Balboa scenario. We root for the underdog, and love to see establishment types get their comeuppance. Bernie could surprise us all. I wouldn't sell him short.

I really hope it is. Bernie is the USA's (and the western world's) best hope at moderation. Oddly enough I think trump is a close 2nd.
I think any other winners are just another pawn in the same fools game.

The problem with Bernie doing well is people have now, you know...heard of him.
So now it's OK Bernie, what's your plan?
Good luck selling that one comrade.
