2. Richardson should follow them out the door
But I doubt he will just yet.

3. Well, it might make a difference in DE and CT, but they clearly don't have much national reach.
They certainly didn't have much IA reach....

7. In reality, it's down to three.
Dennis will stick around for a little while longer -Just Because-, and Richardson will bow out by the end of the month.

Thanks again, Iowa and MSM for denying Americans real choices.

10. Hey, if the "MSM" had made the decision...
...all we'd be left to wonder about tonight would be who Hillary would choose as her running mate.

Having a three-person race is pretty impressive. Generally, after Iowa, it's down to two at most.

11. I agree. It does suck.
Even though "my guy" won tonight, I don't appreciate the media pushing candidates on me.

(If I ever thought Dennis had a chance, he'd be "my guy", btw)

12. It is not just the media, either
The Iowa system only allows for two or three to emerge.

13. Yeah. That's something I've posted about before.
Even though I understand why we don't have a national primary day, I don't like it. Not one bit.
