the clinton campaign. both bill and hillary clinton - have a long-standing relation-ship with the african american community over the last two decades. "you look at the endorsements that she has, you look at the people working for her campaign, they are all experienced people who know how to organzie and put togehter a campaign and recognized where her specific appeal is. sanders has been able to make inroads to people on the outside of the party but not with people controlling the levers of power within the party. party. the win comes just ahead of super tuesday - where voters in 12* states - will cast their ballots. mean - time - rubio - is releasing his tax* returns - from the last five years.in addition to his salary - as senator - - he and his wife - have income from book* - deals - - of about - half*- a - million - dollars most lucrative year - - when rubio - earned nearly one* million dollars - - and payed a tax rate - of - 31* percent. a corridor teenager - and her mother are feeling a lot of love

whether you look at the - - when you look at the numbers it's tough to see - - how the clinton campaign treats the final results once they're certified. at the very least, she feels like tonight was a victory again breathing that huge sigh of relief. of course on to new hampshire where bernie sanders in many polls is shown a huge lead and then of course i think the clinton campaign from what we heard from the national campaign manager earlier today they're really looking ahead to the southern states, the so-called sec states. of course we have to see how the numbers play out again tonight in new hampshire and then throughout the south. for now live on the campus of o drake university. for your local election headquarters. back to you in the studio. >> paul, thanks very much. any way you slice it, you know disappointment for hillary tonight if she doesn't win, even as slim a margin it may be because she's got a very big mountain to climb in new hampshire. >> our number just refreshed their delegate count separated by just three, hilly clinton 656, burn assanders at 653. let's head down t

the clinton campaign claimed victory earlier this morning... she beat back a strong challenge from bernie sanders to claim ththfirst victory in the 2016 coming up.... there's no question -- it is absolutely still winter here -- but what did the world's most famous grgrundhog have to say about the seasons this morning? find out next... you're watching kwwl. we've got you covered in decorah, postville, arlington and all of eastern iowa6 there's no doubub -- we'rebut the world's most famous groundhog has other thoughts today.. punxsutawney phil came out this morning during traditional philadelphia... and ol' phil did not see his shadow this morning -- so techcally -- it's an early spring this year... coming up.... a mixup at the top of the rankings for world's most valuable company... more details are up next... the snow is coming down all over eastern iowa right now -- here's a look at the decorah eagles cam there's been a changing of passed apple as the most valuable company in the world... alphabet now estimated to be worth 570 billion dollars

now the clinton campaign going all the way. they put out press statements, but she, in her speech, struck a sort of a middle line. so it will be interesting to see as people wake up whether the bernie sanders campaign, as you say, wants to contest this inny way or is riding along with it and wants to move toward new hampshire where they think they have a big lead in the polls. as for that outstanding precinct, i want to make sure our viewers understand, it's basically one precinct left that the state party doesn't have numbers but would not change the outcome, would not account for the five state delegate equivalent. i think we have a little bit of sound from hillary clinton's speech as she talked about taking on senator sanders, someone who we now can say according to the state party she vaz vanquished in iowa. let's hear that. >> i am excited about really getting into the debate with senator sanders about the best way forward to fight for us and america.

"gronstal - 11:20 they assured us back in november and december they were signing people up left and rightr and they're still not the halfway point. we think it's timr eto pull the plug on this, go back to the old system, maybe someday come back to this issue." jack: house republicans say repealing the plan would be a step in the wrong direction... and further. the bill gets to the house floor dead on arrival.

the clinton campaign is stronger in the contest going forward. south carolina and nevada. before we get to that, we're looking toward iowa to see who won and of course, what happens here in new hampshire. the first clue comes tomorrow at cnn's town meeting then rivals share the same event space. they'll finally start drawing more distinctions with one another for that final week at the new hampshire primary. >> i have to say that town meeting tomorrow night, what about the timing? that will be fascinating. both of them have a lot of work they want to do. when hillary clinton starts speaking, we'll take you to the event. i'm fascinating. what is she going to say? >> we won? we'll take you there. let's turn to the republicans and talk about a wild night and epic turnout busting through previous records. the clear winner, cruz. he was literally popping champagne bottles on the flight out of iowa. how long will the bubbles last? >> donald trump, he is 0 for iowa. his supporters not as sick of winning as he promised they would be. and rubio makes it sound like he won the most i

after that, the clinton campaign. all that coming up right here, after this word from our sponsors. ♪ john: joining us now, two from the finest political journalists in the world. the honorable dan bals, chief corresponded to "the washington post," and ok henderson, director of radio iowa. guys, we're going to talk about stuff. we talked about the final poll and we want to go back and look at some things from that pull and get your thoughts. i know you have been marinating in that information, so let's put up this first graphic, which is about as good as any graphic we have. republican first time caucus-goers, cruz versus trump. let's take a look -- we don't. donald trump -- there it is. donald trump is holding 35%, ted cruz at 19%. what does that mean for this race. >> it means he has to get his people out. it means he has to produce a turnout bigger than normal. it means he has to do it through unconventional means, because we have not been able yet to see his ground game in the way we have looked at others. mark:

so how will the clinton campaign pivot and take him on in new hampshire, or is the clinton campaign going to pivot? tell me, we have a town hall, hillary clinton walks on the stage and says what? >> she says that she hopes that she will earn every vote in new hampshire and she will focus on the message that she has focused on up until now which is how she is the one going to be best prepared and will fight the hardest for middle class voters. for those who have been left out. and that she is the one who has the best experience and knows how to do the job from day one. >> but that is not what she has been saying that brought it to a statistical tie -- >> but it says she has won the majority, and is still ahead by quite a large margin. will that still be the case, after tonight we'll see. but i think what i was talking about earlier, again, she is at her best when she is competing hard for this. it is better for the democratic party when there are two out there with messages that are resonating. and yes, her message is resonating because i think people are responding to the fact that she wa

they're essentially back to the twailt campaign with barack obama and hillary clinton. it became a delegate fight. that's why it went on all the way into june. last night when bernie sanders was flying from new hampshire to -- i asked him how long he thinks this race will go. he said we're going to fight until the convention. while senator sanders also said something else, he said he believes the iowa democratic party should release raw vote totals. they should release a popular vote so he could see how many people actually supported him. many democratic officials believed he would win that. those are not the rules of the iowa caucuses. that's why the caucuses are different than the new hampshire primary here. particularly in polk county, in des moines, but we're told they will not dwell on this. he wants to go forward with his message. a narrow defeat for iowa still means one good thing for him. that's fundraising. on-line fundraising doing very well overnight. he raised $20 million in january alone on-line, so they expect to raise much more money because of this iowa

the clinton campaign has acknowledged them directly this week. over the last three or four days or so, she's like, i know you're not with me now, but i'm going to be fighting for you in the end. when you ask young voters why that is, they believe there will be a woman president in their lifetime and they believe she is not necessarily the perfect one. it doesn't mean they're not going to vote for her at the end of the day, but right now they like bernie. >> but the hillary clinton approach makes sense, in the sense that you're not with me now, but i'll still fight for you. she's thinking okay, if i beat bernie sanders, i need to bring them back into the fold. it's strategic, it make sense. but special place in hell? >> that was pretty rough. i don't actually think that that plays well with young women, because when you speak to them out on the campaign trail, they over and over again say, i'm not going to vote for her just because she's a woman. i'm going to vote for the candidate who i think has the best ideals. and i think that there's this int

in some precincts a coin toss broke the delegatat tie- nats coin toss the clinton campaign saying this morning, they believe they won. but clintodidn't officially declare victory in her speech. instead she took on the republicans- hilllly clinton: i will nono-- i will not let their decisiveness, their efforts to rip away the progress that we've made be successful. so as i stand here tonight, breathing a big sigh of relief, thank you, iowa by contrast, it was a decisive win for ted cruz- ted cruz iowa had made clear to america and the world, morning has come. and trump was gracious in his second-place finish- trump i absolutely love the people of iowa. and just one-point behind trump?marco rubio riding a wave of support for months they told us because we o oer too much optimism in a time of anger, we had no chance. tag: looking forward to now for a quick check on your weather with meteorologist kaj o'mara. stay with tv9. it's . now, one last look at this our storm system is lifting north on track and on scheule today. once again, difficulty $& remains as to how much snow each individual

with the traveling clinton campaign. we are just unable to tell you with any specificity or confidence, who won tonight's iowa caucus for the democrats. it should be noted the clinton campaign had their own reasons for declaring victory earlier this evening, another break. we'll be right back after this. oh remotes, you've had it tough. watching tvs get sharper, bigger, smugger. and you? rubbery buttons. enter the x1 voice remote. now when someone says... show me funny movies. watch discovery. record this. voila. remotes, come out from the cushions, you are back. the x1 voice remote is here. >>> this will be the front page of the des moines register in iowa tomorrow morning. cruz prevails semi colin, dems in dead heat. they divided the vertical space. cruz gets two columns but democrats are splitting it 50/50 because going to press time the democrats are splitting it 50/50. that's the front page of the "des moines register" tomorrow. you want to see things from a different angle, check out the front page of "new york dai

clinton lead has now and the clinton campaign is now claiming victory in high wa tonight. >> rob: tomorrow the rains return but not the first thing? >> right, clouds will be

a little thing i would be worried about if i were the clinton campaign is bernie sanders has raised a large amount in small donations. hillary clinton is reliant on what will be maxed out donors. she's going to have to be watching that as this goes on. the longer it goes, the more his ability to live off the fault of the lamb is going to be his benefit. >> that's true. whenever there's a moment for them, they report we just raised $20 million. that isn't coming from the lobbyists and the other sort of connected people that hillary clinton's donors rely on. it's just people who are out there and who are really energized and that could keep going. >> thank you both very much. something he's used to his advantage. i haven't seen any progressives who are getting so much money from wall street. thank you both so much. next, we have the breaking news. donald trump saying ted cruz stole the election in iowa. the cruz campaign's co-chairman is going to be my guest next and is going to answer these tough questions about what exactly happened that night in iowa. this is live pictures right now.

kristen welker is covering the clinton campaign. from 2008, we know that the clinton campaign certainly does not want the headline tomorrow to be "it's 2008 all over again." >> well, that would be devastating, tamron, no doubt about that. i have been talking to clinton campaign officials who tell me they're feeling a measured confidence going into tonight, in part because of that "des moines register" poll that you just showed. it's a highly predictive poll. in 2008, it showed then-senator barack obama up by a few points. they're also feeling confident, though, for other reasons. they have really put a lot of work into building up a robust ground game. it is based on modeled after barack obama's ground game in 2008. in fact, they have a lot of the same folks working on her campaign who were here back in 2008. and she has also run a very different campaign here in iowa. she spent a lot more time here. this was the state where she had her first campaign event, and you'll recall she started out with those small intimate events, really

clinton has been on the campaign trail in iowa for months now.. always as the presumed democratic nominee.. but in recent weeks, bernie sanders has tighted up the race.. she's setting herself apart from him by saying she is a progressive who knows how to get things done. she says she's not over-promising.. and is ready to deliver results. presidential candidate "what people talk to me about is how i'm going to make sure the affordable care act works and get prescription drug costs down and make college affordable and relieve student debt. that's what's on voters' minds. and that's what i'm talking about. and that seems to be what's exciting and energizing people as they move toward the caucus tonight."lynn clinton could make history tonight.. by becoming the first woman to win the iowa caucuses.. her thousands of supporters have spent the weekend knocking on doors.. to try to make that happen.. now let's head over to jannay towne at the bernie sanders camp.. jannay?? bernie sander's caucus night party is here at the holiday inn airport. the vermon

and bill clinton is on the campaign trail working for his wife. he spend the day talking to voters in oklahoma. he told them what he sought the republican debate on thursday night proves that clinton is the better choice. >> for a minute and a half. the candidates were talking together. i thought it was a musical trio. were all calling each other liars. similar to voters in oklahoma and 11 other states had to the polls on tuesday. also looking forward to the tuesday - contest - - on the next president of the united states, mr. donald trump. >> trump also looking forward to the tuesday contest. on the trail and arkansas. and chris christie along with him. christie endorsed trump yesterday, calling him the only candidate who can really bring about change. some campaign watchers suggest that christie is aligning himself to be a vice president or attorney general. in the meantime rubio is trumps a target. following the heated debate on thursday. >> rubio stole from the republican party. he did not get indicted. i guarantee you one thing, chris christi

meanwhile, clinton spent the day campaigning in western and central iowa. she told supporters in council bluffs that she wants to bring an end to tax evasion. clinton called the crime "corrosive to democracy." "people need to feel the game is not rigged against them, the deck is not stacked against them, they have the same right and opportunity to go as far as their hard work will take them." bernie sanders thanked voters and volunteers in his marshalltown field office earlier today. he urged the youth toto become more involved in the political process. he said iowans have a unique responsibility when it comes to presidential elections. "what they are going to have to say very loudly and clearly to washihiton, is that we demama a government that represents all of us and not a handful of wealthy campaign contributors." and we encourage you to stay tomorrow night for complete caucus coverage. we'll have reporters live in des moines and across eastern iowa, along with expert analysis. we'll broadcast live from 8 to 9 p-m on kcrg 9.2. then from 9 all the way th

it's feeling a lot like 2008 with the clinton campaign up against the ropes. back with the panel joining us right now, let's talk to our political analysts and reporters. >> you introduce us, one voter short of dixville notch. but we're more willing to share our opinion. >> you know, it is -- there are -- it is reminiscent of 2008 and it's not. the reason that it's not is because once you get past new hampshire, those states turn very favorable for hillary clinton. you know, that's why, as i said earlier, i'm sort of shocked that -- it seems to me that they are overreacting to bernie sanders and overreacting to this particular primary and i think it's making them look, frankly, a little more frantic than they should be. >> let me ask you, back in 2008, when you were with the obama campaign, did you know how much hillary clinton was moving up in new hampshire? because she entered 18 points behind, right? >> we quit polling on sunday because we wanted to save a little money and so we probably -- if we had polled one more day, we could have been prepared for the

the clinton campaign happily sided with him. press secretary brian fallon. >> this is an example of overclassification run amok. >> reporter: the state department announced last week that 22 of clinton's e-mails which sat on her private server for years are being reclassified as top secret, one of the highest levels of classification, higher than the secret and confidential designations given to the powell and rice e-mails. more than 1,500 clinton e-mails have already been put in those categories. isn't there a big difference between an e-mail or two being 22 e-mails being classified as top secret. >> these e-mails that have been judged top secret are completely wrong. we want them released. let the public see them. >> reporter: f.b.i. is still looking into clinton's use of a private server, but, scott, the clinton campaign views this as a rare positive development in a year-long controversy. >> pelley: nancy cordes with the clinton campaign. nancy, thank you. today in the water emergency in flint, michigan, the e.p.a. said that

clinton campaign, and they aren't sure why. "this system like i said is outdated we need to change it," said patrick west. on monday, patrick west served as a captain in woodbury correctionville. like some others in iowa, he's questioning the way democratic caucus results are posted. "our precinct went for sanders. oto's precinct, the paper work was filled out showing they went for sanders and yet somehow the democratic party is reporting it for clinton," said patrick west. keane schwarz served as captain for that oto precinct, precinct 43. he was the only voter to participate and aligned with bernie sanders, but the state party results show the precinct being won by hillary clinton. "one person, i'm the only one on a sheet of paper very clearly filled out for this candidate with no oppisition and it's you become a hillary delegate," said keane schwartz. precints 40 and 43 were 2 of 6 held at the river valley high school. schwartz, west and fellow precinct co-captain stephen eitzen all say caucus night was night of disorganizat

the sanders campaign is not done fighting for their candidate. "(caucus results fs) less than one percent. that's how closely the iowa caucus results ended up for hillary clinton and bernie sanders. andy 25:29 when you have that you have to make sure you verify the results and this morning we have 100% of the precincts accounted for. we've verified the results, we have our final results out. but bernie supporters aren't satisfied. they say they fought hard to win support for their candidate, and they've heard there might be between what some of the precincts reported. rania 31:23 we do have reason to believe maybe some places where results weren't reported accurately. we just wanna make sure, when we're talking about .2 percentage points, historically close. while the bernie camp is hoping to sit down with the iowa democratic party to cross check results. they also want to learn more about which precincts awarded the final delegate with a coin flip... rania 33:20 it is part of the rules and as long as those were administered wtihin the boundaries

the clinton campaign says the math works in their favor. we are waiting for more information. joining us live from des moines this morning, the last reporter, senior digital reporter chris moody. great to have you here with us. >> reporter: great to be here all night with you. exciting caucus on the republican side and democratic side. i think the most nail biting has been the democratic side. the most fascinating to watch for those who want to stay up all night. it is neck and neck. very close. hillary clinton's campaign has declared victory. now, all overnight, the campaigns have been flying to new hampshire. they are just now landing there. that's where the campaign will go on from here. this is where if it hasn't been exciting enough, it get really exciting there. hillary clinton declaring victory. feeling good about it. also bernie sanders coming from lower expectations and nearly tying a candidate who was as some people said, inevitable, he is feeling good as well. there is a bernie sanders event in new hampshire for people who have waited for his plane to land there at

and the clinton campaign allowing nbc an exclusive look at their specially developed app, which is like a caucus night calculator, helping them keep close tabs on caucusgoers and how they're voting. >> allows us to streamline the process and help our precinct captains be able to move more quickly through some of these processes so they're spending less time calculating and more time persuading. >> the clinton campaign estimates 125,000 door knocks this weekend alone, 4200 trained precinct captains and team members in place. sanders' ground team equally impressive. 76,000 door knocks, over 15,000 volunteers. clinton, still playing defense on her private e-mails when she was secretary of state. >> i just have to point out that the timing and some of the leaks that have led up to it are concerning. >> sanders, who's been reluctant to engage in the e-mail issue, weighed in on "meet the press." >> know, i think this is a serious issue. i am not going to attack hillary clinton, the american people will have to make that judgment. >> and with the clock ticking, voters are now ready to have the

they're spending less time persuading. >> the clinton campaign anticipated 125,000 doors knocked alone. sanders' ground team equally impressive, 76,000 door knocks, 15,000 volunteers. clinton still playing defense like when she was secretary of state. of the timing and leaks that lead led up to it are concerning. >> sanders who's reluctant to weigh in on the issue spoke on "meet the press." >> this is serious. i will not attack hillary clinton. americans will have to make their judgment. >> who are you supporting? >> bernie sanders. >> i honestly thinks she has the most experience and can do the job. >> nbc's kristen welker reporting. make sure you tunethursday for the democratic debate on msnbc. >>> now, with polling tight continue to escalate their attacks on one another as both candidates attended church in a last effort to court voters there.s hallie jackson reports. >> reporter: in the final crunch becomes a campaign stop, but this sunday's signs of pieceay to the campaign battle. >> donald trump supports expanding obamacare to make it full on sanders. >> look. ted cruz is a total

and that is what the clinton campaign is counting on. the margin of victory for both sanders and trump was significant in new hampshire, and it certainly is giving the sanders s people he that he can build on the momentum that his campaign is feeling. in one day theyaised the clinton campaign has never raised $6 million in a single day. so people who are e-mail corrpondents with the clinton campaign are, you know, being barraged by e-mail asking for donations. the clinton campaign isoping that minorityoters, which make up the majority of the electorate in south carolina carry the day for thehemhere. >> let's turn to iowa. i want to play a game of winners and losers as we just briefly look back on the iowa caucuses. the fallout from the democratic side, the democratic party viewed winner or loser with the snafus they had? >> they're trying desperately to spin ts as a win, but definitely people are talking about the end of the iowa caucuses, because of the way in which this was managed >> what about andy mcguire, the chair, her name is men

in that campaign, today, again, the clinton campaign finds itself gutting it out through a another very difficult race. this time it's vermont senator bernie sanders who is proving to be her strong, if slightly improbable opponent. and once again, even though secretary clinton was expected to have an unassailable financial advantage in this fight for the democratic nomination, once again her opponent is proving to be really, really good, like record setting really good at raising money. last night after senator sanders scored his massive win in new hampshire, his 22-point victory, the largest margin of victory in any new hampshire primary in, like, half a century, last night, overnight, through the morning, through today, the sanders campaign has been taking a shock and awe approach to displaying the fund raising response they got to their victory last night in new hampshire. at one point last night the sanders campaign uploaded his gif, this little online video clip which they said showed the pace at which donations were flooding into their website as senator sanders declared victory i

they're playing catch-up behind the clinton campaign. >> when that happens, tail end saunders campaign trying to open u a ton of offices i think 12. hillary ground game is established, but it is not that large. talking about the number of ofsz. does it make up for the time >> i don't think so. you have to staff those offices.eva you have to bring those people up to speed. a lot of people already there are not a lot of undecided. clinton is well-known and defined. saunders is coming, introducing himself, particularly to western states like nevada. he has to play the catch-up and bring in the infrastructure, where she has already built that. >> what about the republicans? there was a much larger group of republicans trying to fight for that vote.sid what have you seen? >> nevada has always for a couple of reason. going to be reduced significantly so cans will put more attention in iowa and new hampshire. we're far away from the east coast. you're spending a day coming here. if they want to get republicans they might have to leave the urban areas to the remote places.th lastly i don't thi

the sanders camp responds politely, and the clinton campaign doesn't even respond. clinton shows a 3 point lead over sanders, your sense of things of where things are headed tomorrow night? >> 3 points, enough ahead, it looks as though unless something really strange happens with turnout or weather that she will just squeak by, that appears to be the most likely outcome. just squeaking by is certainly not where she was here only two months ago, certainly not where she wants to be, the sanders campaign is already claiming momentum, the des moines registeral poll and presuming that he does very, very well here, just not with well enough to beat her, they will continue to claim that momentum going into new hampshire. >> first i want to ask you, governor, the breaking news on the democratic side has been the fact that the obama administration announced that they can't release dozens of pages of clinton private e-mails because they are too sensitive. here is administration spokesman don kirk. >> nine in four, found in 22 documents represents 37 pages, the documents are b

the clinton campaign is calling themselves the underdog here. when you're hillary clinton, it's hard to really be the underdog, anderson. >> so are the campaigns doing anything different based on the results in iowa? >> reporter: sure. she is stepping up her -- sharpening her not attacks as much, but just her differences. i noticed today listening to her talk, she's reminding voters that she is the true democrat. she is fighting for the direction of the democratic party. he, of course, is an independent, but i talked to senator sanders last night when he was flying here to new hampshire, and he had a bounce in his step. he was very excited by the iowa results and he said one thing that he needs to do is show people that he can win. and he will fight all the way until the convention to build a revolution, a movement. so that worries the clinton campaign somewhat that he intends to go that far with this here. but he says once he shows people he can win, he thinks he will continue to have a very strong knot of march because so many states out there

>> i think the hillary clinton campaign gets the hell out of new hampshire. it's a good night for bernie. a bad night for hillary. i think the campaign have seen in for a little while. they managed the expectations of it. telling everyone they're going to lose new hampshire and lose it pretty decisively. if you look at what they're saying tonight, you know, you might think that this is partly truth to this. you look at the nevada campaign, the state where the kay cuss electorate is overwhelmingly hispanic, and she does very well with hispanic voters. then they go to south carolina where 50% of the electorate is african-american. she's doing incredibly well with african-american windows. there is a 50-point spread. that is a good place to start coming into march. and then remember, in marc march--after those first four states are done, about 4% of the total delegates will be awarded. by the middle of march 50-plus% will be awarded. they have their eyes on the long ball. those are states where they've had a head start in terms of organizing. the math seems to f

the sanders campaign is still reviewing the numbers saying results." a marketing company is also tracking the caucuses... and thousands of iowans unknowingly helped... online firm "dstillery" analyzed location phones. location data allowed dstillery to make assumptions about voters at precincts where there was an overwhelming winner. according to the company... caucusgoers who were expecting.. or already had a young baby were more likely to vote republican.. .and preferred florida senator marco rubio. donald trump supporters were made up of do-it-your-selfers, and people who like to maintain their own yards and gardens. sports fans leaned towards senators marco rubio and bernie sanders. techies... also leaned to sanders... the oldest candidate in the race. donald trump is looking to avoid a big upset when new hampshire holds its primary tomorrow... trump is up big.. the latest poll has him with a 21-point lead. marco rubio and iowa caucus winner ted cruz are tied for second. john kasich and jeb bush round out the top five. narrowed over the weekend...

>> well, chris, the clinton campaign and hillary clinton want to have a fight of who's the most progressive i suppose we'll be happy to discuss that for the next few days. she said, as your clip just showed, that she pleads guilty to being moderate in center and now she's telling everybody she's very progressive. i mean, sure, we can have a back and forth on that but the truth is what bernie sanders wants to talk about is the thing he's been talking about since the beginning of this campaign, the economy of america is rigged. it's sending almost all the new wealth to the top. it's held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance. so if we can just talk about that every day, we'll be very happy. >> let me ask you this. bernie sanders' official account today said you can be a moderate or progressive, you can't be both. he also talked about the progressives he knows oppose tpp, the big trade deal, trans-pacific partnership. >> right. >> is barack obama, in your campaign's view, in the center's view, is barack obama a moderate or a progressive? >> listen, i think what the president has don

the clinton campaign has been here for months and months building up the roles. the polls are close. describe the level of pain and agony within clinton world tomorrow if they don't win tonight. >> well, having been through the pain and agony in '08. >> take us back. >> it's big. it is big. the stakes are very high for both hillary clinton and bernie sanders. if sanders wins, that's huge. it will have momentum going into new hampshire and the rest of the primary states. for hillary clinton, if she wins tonight, there's an opportunity to blunt bernie sanders ae momentum, maybe whittle down the margin in new hampshire, and then it's clear sailing on march 1st on the super tuesday states. >> doesn't it also serve to blunt some of the heart burn or heart ache that she couldn't pull it off? >> yeah. the narrative has been origin electrical hillary was going to be waltz into the nomination. then we've had a reversal where it feels like there's a revolution with sanders. there's nothing more exhilarated than being shot at without effect. if she pulls off a win in iowa a

doors for the clinton campaign. joining me now from iowa city, iowa, is new york city mayor, bill de blasio. mr. mayor, thanks for joining us. >> you're very welcome, jake. >> so, mr. mayor, how is the reception for a big city boy like yourself among the small town folk of iowa? are they greeting you well or eyeing you warily? >> no, it's been a great reception. iowans take the caucuses very, very seriously. they care about people coming to the door talking about the issues. i came out here with a team from new york. we've knocked on 1,800 doors since friday and a lot more today we're going to be doing. the great thing is that people are so focused on the meaning of this state. they understand that they're the first in the nation, they understand they're making a big, big impact. really believe that changes people want, this is a very progressive electorate, as you know, jake. if you're progressive, you want to see greater taxes on the wealthy, higher wages and benefits for people, paid family leave, paid sick leave

clinton campaign. i think the final point was four and a half points, five points, was it as close as you thought it would be? >> that was a little bit larger margin than the polling. that was showing a really tight race. but this was within the margin of error. there was a six-point error margin. it was within that range. it seemed like it was going for more of an iowa finale where it was going to be within 1%-2%. 4-point lied, that's a win, and i'm sure the clinton people with take it as they go to south carolina. they're probably going to be doing quite well there. something interesting about senator sanders -- then it's onto super tuesday, and sort of left the stage. all right, and now it's onto super tuesday. didn't mention south carolina. he's probably expecting not to do that well there, and we'll see. he could come out on a couple of -- he's now really got to start putting some more points on the board. >> you were over at the dell webb middle school where senator reed was. they had to delay th

second, i do not understand the notion from the clinton campaign that, oh, he is just from vermont. that is not what is going on. that is a little bit hopeful in terms of travel. but there are cheat of other elements. one, -- there are cheat of other elements. one, they are really white. john: you could be the president of upper caucasia, if there was such a country. james: i think mitt romney could beat me on that. but also independent voters where he is really beating her. happens when what sanders leads. than you are an older man james. for my versus new hampshire -- neil: people in new hampshire traditionally do not win -- like people from vermont. we saw howard dean did not win. this is another example of brand loyalty and politics. personality trumps everything else in politics and there's this movement of people are latching onto with bernie sanders. i can't explain it, but it's happening. john: this is not brand loyalty. it is her. she won the primary years ago. feeling -- i'm reminded of 2000 with mccain and bush, and they waited to south carolina and when they took on mcca

now, wolf, long game right now for the clinton campaign. they're sending bill clinton down to south carolina tomorrow to start to rally the troops down here. the sanders folks tell me bernie sanders, himself, as i suspect hillary clinton will be spending all their time in new hampshire in the next few days. >> gloria, white house press secretary earnest said today a robust contest between the two democratic candidates is actually good for the party. >> they're thrilled. >> well, is it good for the party. >> well, look, i think that it's clear from hearing the president, himself, if it were up to barack obama, his legacy depends on hillary clinton getting elected president of the united states. period. end of story. and that's why he had to meet with bernie sanders to kind of, you know, assuage his ire, you know, the fact that he said that. but, look, i think that, yes, contests are very good, but if i'm in the clinton campaign right now, what i'm looking at is, yes, we're sending bill clinton to the south, we think we got a southern firewal

reporter: the clinton campaign released a memo saying why she expected rather that's better in seven states. sanders is reaching out to minorities. he met with the reverend al sharpton this morning in harlem. weijia jiang, cbs news, manchester, and answered. alyx: governor chris christie went home to new jersey to this will be the -- sirhan sirhan tries for freedom again today. it will be the 15th time he has asked for parole since he was convicted of killing senator robert f. kennedy at a los angeles hotel 50 years ago. the arab jerusalem native, who is now 71, has given no indication that he will change his story that he has no memory of killing kennedy. pope francis met with iraqi prime minister at the vatican today. officials say they talked about the continued persecution of christians and other ethnic and religious minorities living in iraq. they also discussed the importance of promoting tolerance and peace. and christians around the world begin observances of lent today. ash wednesday launches the 40-day lent period that lasts until midnight on easter sunday. during that time

party called it, when the clinton campaign called it. do you have anymore clarity on that? >> i think they were worried that somehow sanders was going claim victory. that he was going to do it. they panicked but the way they went about and all of a sudden the correction came. that was the thing i think that threw them. they did look at the numbers and thought he can't overtake us. then they had the error in dallas county that shrank the margin to the margin we followed the rest of the night. they created a story that wasn't necessary. they could have got more credit for the narrow win. >> then because today she could have given the same speech having not made the claim. >> all this gamesmanship, sanders made a strategic error in waiting. he could have declared that virtual. he could have given that same speech at 10:30. he could have talked at the time marco rubio talked. >> he knew from third place. the only shot was he could have gotten to second. we'll see. i think this, to go back to your first question, i think what we learned last

andrea mitchell has news on the clinton campaign front. andrea. >> reporter: the clinton campaign, officials telling me they are declaring victory over bernie sanders. they said it is close. obviously, we don't have the numbers to back it up. but after radio silence now for the last couple of hours, they are declaring victory tonight, saying they believe they have defeated bernie sanders, that the turnout was very high, which is what he had said would -- or their campaign and the candidate himself had said would mean a victory for bernie sanders. this is a very cautious crowd. and obviously nbc is not declaring this. but this is what the senior official is saying, that they believe they have defeated bernie sanders here in this hard-fought race, much, much closer than anyone would have expected some months ago. with the excitement and the passion for sanders' message, a message of populism and clinton saying that her experience, her pragmatism could get things done. you know, brian and rachel and -- how tight this has been. how difficult a

sanders, he and hillary clinton are locked in a, quote, virtual tie. >> the clinton campaign however declared victory overnight after this upbeat rally that lana alluded to and avoided the worst, a loss like the one she suffered in 2008. abc's political analyst matthew dowd explains what's next for the clinton campaign. >> like donald trump she had an opportunity to basically start to put this race away with a clear victory tonight. she didn't get that, so now she faces a likely loss in new can win is south carolina, so that race is now, which could have been shortened if she had won tonight overwhelmingly, is now going to be a much longer race and go into march for sure. >> well, iowa voters delivered a split decision for the republicans, as well, but ted cruz took the lead away from donald trump to win. >> trump barely ahead of marco rubio whose strong performance was another big headline of the night, wouldn't you say? abc's political director rick klein on the state of that race. >> now there are two viable alternatives to trump that have emerged, one in ted cruz, the surprise ev
