Politics is a Sport: Pre-Caucus Thread

Hmm, that's a bit of a stretch. In the breakdown, Obama wins among all of those voters. His highest margins are with self-described very liberal and liberal voters, but he beat the Hildebeast among the moderates as well. The only win she had was with self-described conservatives, 22% to 21%.

Well sure, he won by a rather substantial margin. My point was and is that his support got stronger the more liberal the voters were. Additionally, I see his support got stronger the richer the voter got. For the ultra-liberal elite supposedly hating him, he ranked strongest among them. Hillary's campaign made it's share of gaffes, but I can't help but think a big part of her problem among the far left was her comparitively hawkish foreign policy stance.

Anyhow, end result- Iowa chose two liberals as their choices for president. Kind of expected from Democrats, but downright disappointing from Republicans.

Edit: I wonder how much of a spoiler Paul was, if at all? Whose camp did his votes come from? Probably not Huckabee's. I can't imagine their supporters having much in common.
