1. Woo Hoo !!! - K & R !!!

2. That's from last week

He's up 8 points now according to the new CNN poll.

5. I see that the story was updated on Tuesday

I figured the Quinnipiac poll that had him up by 5--was the updated info that was added.

How in the world did I miss that poll. Am I the last to know?

[Depaysement]

3. But remember . . .

He can't win.

15. And Sanders is not Obama!!

"This isn't 2008, honey!"

^^^actual response to me from a Hillarian after I *dared* to suggest the Bernie/Clinton campaigns seemed to be following a trajectory similar to 2008.

Damn straight this isn't 2008. Obama was never ahead by 8. He was ahead by 4--3 days before the Iowa caucuses.

[Depaysement]

16. "This isn't 2008, honey"

LOL

4. Anyone else know that Sanders was ahead in IA?

First I'm hearing about this!

[winter is coming]

6. That's why the town hall was scheduled.

To give Hillary a chance to "shake some sense" into Iowa voters.

7. Ding, ding, ding we have a WINNER!!!

8. That her staff said this needs to be Tweeted far and wide.

snarled, "How stupid are they?," when Iowa voters had Carson ahead in the polls the first time.

Iowa voters pride themselves on being especially aware and knowledgeable voters. They really, really hate being patronized and insulted by pols who claim they don't know what they are doing.

10. Wow did everybody miss this poll of two days ago?? I certainly did.

Looks like the Clintons did not. Oh my bad, she does not read the polls.

12. I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I check RCP daily and I Google for new Iowa polls. I also check 3 Iowa newspapers, including the Des Moines Register.

I never knew that a reputable poll showed Sanders was ahead in Iowa.

I don't ever recall seeing this Quinnipiac poll (that has Sanders ahead by 5) on DU.

I noticed that the Q poll was practically buried in the article, about 12 paragraphs in!

Did others miss this too?
