Can we ditch the polls now? Nope. Iowa is notoriously hard to call for pollsters. Polls from here on out will be a lot more predictive of the final outcomes in each state.

Let see how well Cruz does when Evangelicals aren’t 61% of the vote. Easy to sell Cruz to his political base, let see how much cross over appeal he has in other states.
After all, Presidents Santorum and Huckabee will tell you all about how vital winning Iowa to wining the GOP nomination.

The polls will be more accurate before the NH vote. Iowa is never easy to call, because it's so weird the way they do it.
Rubio is the BIG story tonight, getting far more than anyone expected. That could be a big deal in NH.
Bernie may have lost in Iowa, but the Hildabeast was the real loser. Big time.

Or as they say in the Vatican, “Go in as a Pope, come out as a Cardinal.”

I don't know about that. They had Romney winning by 5 in 2012, we all know how that turned out.

Please try to keep that smile on when the New Hampshire results come in next week.

Everyone under 10% should just get out.
Example of self-derangement: jebby, with 3% insults the 3 winners:

“It’s all about him and insulting his way to the presidency is the organizing principle,” Bush said of Donald Trump. “The two other candidates that are likely to emerge in Iowa are two people that are backbenchers who have never done anything of consequence in their lives,” he added, seemingly of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.”

not the least bit giddy. Well, I'm sorry. That must have been some other Cruz supporter sniggering behind your post.
My apologies.

Nope just not so wrapped up in the cult of personality around a political candidate that I am willing to ignore the inconvenient facts that challenge emotion based dogmas.
