I'm not buying these calls; are you?  I smell a Florida 2000 brewing...

Please visit your doctor. There seems to be something wrong with your sense of smell.

Dude, there's not even 10% in yet.  They're making the call purely on exit polls, not actual vote totals.

Any chance Kasich gets a boost if he finishes second?

Remember, Clinton won the Dem nomination in '92 while losing in both Iowa and New Hampshire.  He got 2nd in NH.

Mostly because Harkin was the favorite son for Iowa which made that a non-contest.

True, but would Clinton have won without Harkin?  Bob Kerrey was from Nebraska.

So you have to go back to 1992 to "prove" that someone can be the nominee without winning IA or NH... And it was only because no candidate took IA seriously. LoL.

And Paul Tsongas won on New Hampshire because he was the favorite neighbor, so the example is hardly generalizable

You could make the same case for Bernie Sanders tonight.
