Had he come in third, he'd have spun that as a win. If he'd been last, he'd have spun that as a win.

There is no situation, in his mind, where he is not the winner, regardless of the actual outcome.

  - Not if a lot of previous non-caucusers decided they needed to vote against him. -- nm - mara Feb 2, 10:36
