that the spin tomorrow will be that he made some sort of amazing showing in an unfriendly state.

Um, no. He made a modest showing in a friendly state (I can only think of five that will be more friendly to him), and it's essentially a tie.

Similarly, the screaming of the inevitable win will resound when he winds NH (but watch the final vote totals for any weaknesses starting to show). The only way he loses NH is if he's dumb enough to contest the IA elections over minor issues.

Then he takes a drubbing in NV and SC and it gets worse on Super Tuesday.

Iowa was a must win by +5 or better...and he didn't.
