So, the Democratic pool is down to two, with Martin O’Malley out. Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee is out on the Republican side. Neither makes much of a mathematical difference.
I would expect a more serious set of exits after New Hampshire when several dead men walking come to gripes with reality.

I would disagree about O’Malley… the last numbers I saw had Clinton and Sanders separated by 0.3%, and O’Malley carried 0.5%, so that puts every single vote into play. Huckabee on the other hand… well, after he gave up a chance to be on stage at the last GOP debate for a side job on Trump’s Magical Mystery Tour or whatever, it’s been clear he’s going after the New Money…
@legion: I am thinking in terms of the overall race. That his presence may have mattered last night is both likely and, ultimately, irrelevant (in my opinion).
I think that Sanders could win IA and NH and still be done by March 1.
@OzarkHillbilly: A typo (but yes it works).
@Steven L. Taylor: Fair enough. But Sanders’ showing gives him arguably more momentum than anyone except maybe Rubio. And Sanders really only has to defend himself against Clinton right now.
@legion: I think that Bernie has momentum in the narrative as cable news needs something to talk about.
Hillary polls better, IIRC, with African-Americans and Hispanics (far better than Bernie). This doesn’t matter in IA and NH, but will matter greatly as things go south and west. I will endeavor to find the numbers.
I honestly think that it will be clear that there is no real competition between these two candidates by the end of the night on March 1,
