Clinton Maintains Iowa Delegate Win In County Conventions~from The Iowa Starting Line..
March 13th, 2016
snip// Determined!
Hillary Clinton’s campaign fought off a tough effort by Bernie Sanders’ operation in county conventions throughout the state to determine the next round of delegates that eventually end up at the national convention. At the end of the day, Clinton stood at 704 state delegates and Sanders had 700. That’s a slight improvement for both from caucus night’s final results, when Clinton had 700.47 and Sanders received 696.92.
The big prize both campaigns sought was the 5th statewide delegate. In addition to assigning national delegates by congressional district, Iowa also has 9 statewide delegates. Because of Clinton’s narrow win on caucus night, those split in her favor 5-4. The closeness led to fierce competition around the state on Saturday as Sanders tried to pick up just a handful more state delegates here and there to move ahead.
Sanders was unsuccessful in that effort, and the projected national delegate count remained the same both on the statewide level and by congressional district. Clinton still has a 23-21 advantage from Iowa

Clinton maintaining her delegate advantage was by no means a given. In 2008 she lost a projected national delegate during those county conventions, while Barack Obama picked up ten. That added to her delegate problems nationally and kept her further behind. If Sanders wanted to start to legitimately catch up in that regard, he had a shot at picking up one, possibly two projected national delegates through the county conventions.

individual I have ever seen running for public office. And I've seen plenty in my day. Kudos to a great lady for her efforts in making America a better place for all. 
actually helping people around the world and across our country.
I commend her! Have to say I think President Obama has been an extraordinary President and has the additional brilliance to want Hillary to succeed him. 
begin campaigning with Hillary.
Prediction: GE landslide.
