A coin toss for county delegates, not state delegates. Very very different.

Still, shows the flaws of Iowa's system.

I know. It is just funny and adds to the stupidity of it all. A coin toss for 6 delegates, and Hillary wins em all. Thus winning the caucus. Certainly adds to the speculation around her.

No, County Delegates are not worth much.

"Sam Lau, the Iowa Democratic party spokesman, noted that the coin tosses were used to determine county convention delegates, which make up only a fraction of the state delegates awarded to candidates. The coin tosses did not affect the overall result in the state."

I am not entirely sure what the weight distribution is, but it is not that significant. Merely hysteria

I read somewhere that her winning all 6 gave her the win. Had they split it 3 a piece, it goes to Bernie. Article could have been wrong, but its on the internet. So its clearly 110% factual.

I saw that too, but it was a knee jerk reaction I believe from MSNBC? that was quickly called out.

Regardless, it just shows how fucked up the Iowa Caucus process is.
