There was too much of a rush to anoint Obama and declare Clinton dead after one data point (i.e., the Iowa results). Do I think that Clinton is a lock on the nomination? No, but I still think she is the slight favorite.

(Oh, and the tie was noted previously at greener pastures--or, rather <a href="http://fruitsandvotes.com/?p=1502" rel="nofollow">orchards</a>--than the Green Papers!) Oh, the Concord grape on toast is a very nice addition! As such, the notion that Iowa was a devastating loss for Clinton is simply incorrect.

However, most of the polls have the two of them tied (except ARG) so I am not sure that a double-digit loss is likely. Double-digits would be huge, yes.
