xPost from GD - Hillary with huge leads in Iowa and New Hampshire, post Bernie announcement

Hillary leads 51-13 in New Hampshire (38% lead) and 60-15 (45% lead) in Iowa. The funny spin of the CNN article is hilarious. The poll numbers aren't that different but Bloomberg rightfully notes that Hillary is dominating in Iowa but CNN focuses on the fact that Bernie's numbers jumped from 6-13.

I'm guessing we will see the same thing here. The anti-Hillary wing of the party is very vocal and very small.

13-15% of the Party is about right.

You can take hit pieces from every right wing nutjob, every right wing news paper, and every right wing TV news show, you can repeat every lie about Hillary you want to and she will still come out on top.

I think they expected to see Bernie with 40% of the vote at least. I mean he polls so well here on DU!
