28. the problem here is that you're talking about facts.
Facts don't matter. This is a matter of perception. Clinton won 39%-37%. That's a whopping big shift from her polling 10 points down days before the contest. Momentum here is entirely psychological and it doesn't matter that Iowa is a larger state and more representative of the country as a whole. Getting the same number of delegates is only a tie if you assume that the nomination process is intended to be a fair representation of Democrats across the country as a whole. Or, for that matter, if it's designed to be a fair period. It's not. In fact, it's not even designed at all.
