The best things about tonight.
1) Rand got 8,300 votes but it was the same as getting 15 thousand because the stories coming out of tonight are huge and media-dominating... Sanders ties Clinton, Cruz holds on, Rubio surges. I've been watching coverage online and on 2 networks for HOURS and have not heard Ben Carson (who doubled Rand) mentioned but ONCE and it was a joke about him needing new clothes. I.E., twice the votes and Rand still wouldn't be much of a story.
2) Three, well-funded, aggressive campaigns now will now beat the hell out of each other for weeks, raising the negatives of all 3 in the process.
3) Kasich and Christie's votes added together still don't equal Paul's total. Repeat it over and over then ask people how those two can be on a NH debate stage instead of Rand.
4) Resource allocation lessons were learned. 1.1 million phone calls didn't work; time to buy tv spots (I get Boston media and have seen hundreds of spots for other candidates, demoralizing). Thanks to Kibbe et al for the coming funds.
5) It will take more than 1,000 delegates to win the nomination and the first-place Iowa-crushing juggernaut named Ted Cruz grabbed... wait for it.... 8 tonight.
... any more?
