With polls showing Bernie Sanders ahead in New Hampshire and barely behind, if at all, in Iowa, the former president is urging his wife to start looking toward the delegate-rich March primaries – a shift for an organizing strategy that’s been laser-focused on the early states. The question is whether that edge vanishes if Sanders defeats Clinton in the first two contests, a distinct possibility. “All of a sudden, he looks like a very viable candidate, and I think most rank-and-file Democrats agree with him more on the issues than they do with Hillary Clinton”.

She had a commanding lead over her nearest Democratic rival Sanders in Iowa until December.
Brian’s in New Hampshire with Bernie Sanders, and Tam is in Iowa, following Hillary Clinton’s campaign. “I’ve seen it up close and personal and I know what it takes”.

These voters remember his donations to Democratic candidates (which he has since disavowed as a business necessity) and support for abortion rights (which he has rationalized as trying to fit in with left-leaning New Yorkers). Cruz holds an edge as the one who would better handle social issues, however, with 29 percent to Trump’s 18 percent, while 12 percent name Rubio, 10 percent Carson and 9 percent former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.
While Obama had several key surrogates in 2008, including Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine and Missouri Sen.
