Remember that you need 15% to be viable
Keep in mind the 15% threshold.
Remember though that this time they're actually going to release the raw count of initial preferences, before people reallocate their support on the 15% threshold. I'm not sure how we know yet how the media is going to handle this. Will the initial preference vote be treated by the media as the "real" results? Or will they put both sets of numbers up on the screen at once, or what?
I realize that the reallocated #s are the ones that determine delegate allocation, but Iowa's a small state with few delegates. It matters so much only because of media framing / momentum reasons, so who the media crowns the "winner" matters more than delegates.
