2016 Democratic presidential predictions

This post will be shorter than my previous one regarding the Republican race. Shortly before the end of the Iowa caucus, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley announced that he would be suspending his campaign. In so doing, he helped solidify the idea that the Democratic race was a two-person contest. O'Malley struggled to gain traction among Democrats as the party was split among two different approaches with no gray in-between. The Iowa caucus ended in a "virtual tie" between Clinton and Sanders, something many commentators and pundits were surprised would happen. Much debate continued as to who the real winner was in Iowa and the truth is, if you support Clinton or Sanders, you say your respective sides were the winners. The race turns to New Hampshire next week, where Sanders is polling way ahead of Clinton, a win in New Hampshire would help make this race a true contest. Many Clinton supporters deny the success that Sanders has accomplished by coming as close to her as he had. My only major prediction is that the race will have Sanders win some states and Clinton win some states, there may be even more state-wide ties along the way. This would cause an interesting dilemma when it comes time for the Democratic National Convention. It is difficult to say who will end up the winner in the end and it may come down to a simple coin toss. Whomever may end up the nominee for the Democrats will most likely face Rubio in the general election and only a united party can muster a victory. There has been dissension among some Democrats, some refusing to vote Clinton if Sanders loses and vice versa. If Democrats choose to stay home, they guarantee a Republican victory and an end to the Obama legacy as we know it.
