Good weekUS Senator Bernie Sanders did not just have a good week. He had an unprecedented, presidential-campaign-changing week. And the Democratic Party may never be the same. Polls show him within striking distance of former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton — once upon a time the presumptive nominee — in the Iowa caucuses. One survey gave him a whopping 27-point lead over her in the New Hampshire primary. The Democratic debate Sunday? It was all about Bernie. Many of the questions focused on the self-described Democratic socialist and his record. The answers were about him, too — even when Clinton could have been talking about something else. There’s no doubt Sanders has her spooked. Bad weekDid US Senator Ted Cruz, the front-runner in Iowa, have a bad week? You betcha! Or at least that’s how former Alaska governor Sarah Palin might have put it. The former vice presidential nominee snubbed Cruz this week to endorse businessman Donald Trump. (Cruz is a big Palin fan and has said he wouldn’t be in the US Senate without her support.) Palin backed Trump in Iowa, where an otherwise neutral Governor Terry Branstad had choice words this week for Cruz, calling him not “the right one for Iowans to support in the caucus.” Branstad was specifically referring to Cruz’s opposition to ethanol subsidies — a top issue in agriculture-heavy state. Still, that’s got to burn.
Go Bernie Go!
