Sanders Plays Down Expectations for Iowa

Sen. Bernie Sanders is now managing expectations for Iowa caucuses next week, Salon reports.

Said Sanders: “Obama in 2008 ran a campaign which is really going to stay in the history books. It was an unbelievable campaign. In places they ran out of ballots as I understand it.”

He added: “Do I think that in this campaign that we’re going to match that? I would love to see us do that. I hope we do. But frankly I don’t think we will. What happened in 2008 was extraordinary.”
