Agree or Disagree: If Hillary wins Iowa, the primaries are over

[Herman Munster]

[Joe the Revelator]

1. Disagree that its over, but it would be in critical condition

nt

[BeyondGeography]

2. If she wins Iowa, she's likely to win NH

so, yeah, MAYBE. If Obama wins NH and SC after losing Iowa, he's still in the game for Feb. 5.

3. Not into predictions but a Hillary win in Iowa

would make her chances of winning the nomination that much greater. I'd say Hillary has a 75% chance of winning the nomination right now, and winning Iowa would make it a 90% chance.

[jenmito]

4. Agree-they're over-for EDWARDS.

Obama has the money and support to continue on.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. I disagree, unless...

Her margin of victory is too enormous, which would make it difficult to overcome elsewhere...

We shall see...

:shrug:

[Fredda Weinberg]

6. I hope not ... it's a good script while the entertaining writers are

on strike. It's reality programming that means sumpthin' for a change.

[Skip Intro]

7. That would pretty much do it, I think. Maybe a final push in NH and SC

but a miracle would have to happen for the others


pretty much over if Hillary wins Iowa, imho

[AlCzervik]

8. i have no idea, at this point anything could happen.

[sandnsea]

9. No, but if she wins SC they probably are n/t

[Bullet1987]

11. I think an sweep of the early states

is definently possible from Clinton or Obama. If Hillary wins Iowa, she's likely to go on to win NH and possibly SC because the polling is so close. Same thing goes for Obama...

[Perky]

10. SHe is going to have to win it convincingly

If she wins there....she wins NH unless there is a backlash which is doubtful.

SC is where it will be decided.

If it runs like this Hillary in IA, Hillary in NH, Obama has to win SOuth Carolina

If it runs Hillary, Obama, Hillary has to win SC

If it runs Obama. Hillary. SC might be a draw because it will probably be close and we may be looking at a food fight in Denver.

If it runs Obama, Obama,, SC is decisive, but Hillary has only a small chance of winning because her black support will likely evaporate in SC.

12. I wouldn't close the books until Super Duper Tuesday

That'll be the big test, but a Hillary win in Iowa would certainly give her a huge leg up.

[Perky]

13. SUper Tuesday might be interesting in that it is the Party's last chance to

change its mind.

[SaveElmer]

14. Very likely...

If she wins convincingly it is over...

If Obama is leading by a fair margin in the polls leading into the caucuses, and she wins even by a little bit...it is very likely over...

If it is essentially a tie in the polls and she wins...it is likely over...but New Hampshire will have to seal the deal...

[CyberPieHole]

15. Iowa will not guarantee a win for ANY candidate.

So, no, if Hillary were to win, the primaries would continue.

[Tejanocrat]

16. If she wins Iowa, she'll likely win New Hampshire. If she wins Iowa and New Hampshire, she'll likely

run the table.
