the contrast between the clinton and sanders supporters last night. the energy and enthusiasm of the sanders crew is an order of magnitude above clinton's supporters
Unmistakable. Someone like Begala is always selling the great enthusiasm of Clinton's supporters, but her speech last night, and the general tenor of the room, felt like the same death march (win or lose) that 2008 felt like. (I'm sure I'm projecting a bit.)

apparently there were 6 caucus locations that resorted to coin flips last night, not 3, and clinton won all 6 of them! (something that would only happen 1.5 times out of a 100, but whatever)

His wife said he looked like a '50s movie star when she met him. So I guess modern-day Cruz is what happens when a '50s movie star is first overinflated and then underinflated.

Politico with this gem:
Trump’s data shop is headed by a pair of low-profile former RNC data engineers, Matt Braynard and Witold Chrabaszcz, who are regarded as technically savvy but who do not have previous high-level campaign experience. And, while Trump’s team late last year entered into an agreement with the political data outfit L2, the campaign has paid the firm only $235,000 for “research consulting” through the end of 2015, the period covered by the most recent Federal Election Commission reports.
Trump’s reports show that his self-funded campaign has spent relatively little on voter data or outreach. They showed $200,000 in list rental payments to the conservative Newsmax Media, and $47,000 to Targeted Victory, a leading GOP digital firm, as well as $700,000 on field staff and consultants.
By contrast, the campaign has spent at least $1.2 million on hats ― presumably mostly for the now-iconic hats bearing Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again.”

I'm realizing that I don't understand some of the basic mechanics of this system. Is there a good online resource that explains things like: exactly what a caucus is and how/why it differs from a primary, why the primaries/caucuses take place in the order that they do, how the results of these caucuses/primaries lead to the choice of the party's Presidential candidate, etc? (I gather that e.g. Clinton and Sanders won very close percentages of the vote in this caucus, with Clinton getting 22 delegates and Sanders getting 21: does this mean that at the party leadership convention, there will be 22 Iowa delegates who will vote for Clinton on the first ballot with 21 voting for Sanders? Or does Clinton get to count all of Iowa in her pocket because she got more delegates this time? etc.) It's probably high school civics class material but I don't always trust Wikipedia and I don't always find journalistic sources to be that clear.
