With this win for Hillary Clinton rebounding after coming in second place to Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire, what does this mean for the Clinton Campaign . Does it separate her from sanders right now . Iowa and New Hampshire the Clinton Campaign has been telling reporter they could get to the two states have a large white voter base and once we get to nevada and South Carolina there are more African American voters and last voters in the mix and they will do better. There was fear that may not happen and there were defections from the latino voters in nevada, so i would describe this win tonight as big. She has a week until the South Carolina democratic primary. She is stabilized a little bit tonight. She was a little wobbly after iowa. She squeaked out iowa and obviously lost big in New Hampshire and seven days a weeing this out tonight by a couple of percentage points. I think the folks that cover politics like myself are wondering when she will have that big win which may come next saturday. We will definitely see what happens next saturday.

In the olympic there is the a gold, silver and bronze. There is not a participation certificate. Jeb bush pretty much has 20 come in a strong third tonight to justify staying in the race. There is a lot of talk donors are fleeing him at this point. There are only a few weeks until the florida primary.
