We finished second and i want to tell you something, im just honored. Im really honored. And i want to congratulate ted. Reporter on the democratic side, things are less clear. It looks like we are in a virtual tie. Reporter the Iowa Democratic party put out a statement saying the contest was the closest in Iowa Democratic caucus history. They gave Hillary Clinton 49. 9 percent of the state delegate equivalent, compared to 49. 6 percent for Bernie Sanders with one precinct still outstanding. While the party hasnt declared a winner yet, the Clinton Campaign says its clearly hillary. Clinton may also be thanking twitter shows her winning one precinct by a coin toss. The same thing reportedly happened in five other precincts with clinton winning the coin toss every time. Now, iowa is of primary importance, really because its the only first nominating contest. The number of delegates is a small percentage compared to the national level, but its also important because you start to see less popular candidates be pressured into either getting something going or just get going. Former Maryland Governor Martin Omalley left for the democrats, Mike Huckabee left the republican race. And others like jeb bush, Chris Christie, john kasich, theyre all banking instead on showing New Hampshires showings a strong showing in New Hampshire, i should say, for february 9th th to jumpstart their bids.
