Not so sure Iowa’s results tell us much.[/quote]
Actually Iowa told Us tons. It effectively identified three candidates on the repub side with the rest not garnering 25% collectively and the highest 9%. It also showed Rubio strong in the population centers.
Rubio today looks much stronger for the eventual nomination, as does Trump. Carson could hang on for a VP spot, possibly a Rubio/Carson ticket. Fiorina got 2%, effectively putting a hole in ambitions and possibly cratering a VP slot.
On the Dem side Sanders was strong, both rurally and in the population center.
