Look at the message of the GOP versus that of the Democratic candidates. We should be proud of ourselves -- and incidentally, a bunch of people should stop trying to destroy each other.

Repubs are reporting the overall vote (ie. 51.000+ for Cruz). Why are we only presenting caucus wins? Did Bernie win the general? I hear that Hillary won 6 caucuses on coin flips (Des Moines Register).

There's another thread explaining the intricacies and oddities involved. I'm a Californian, so it's all alien to me.

On the coin toss I will say this: it is all legal there, and has plenty of historical precedent in the USA. There was no trickery or deceit involved. People who don't like the way things are done in Iowa will have to convince the Iowans to change, is all.

She'll have 24 pledged delegates, plus her super-delegates. He'll have 21 (no supers so far).

There is still one outstanding precinct, but it won't change the result.
