Wake Forest University students were on the front lines of the Iowa caucuses Monday to learn more about how campaigns and elections really work.

Clinton beat Bernie Sanders by a razor-thin margin Monday night in Iowa. Some have attributed her win to an improbable lucky streak of coin tosses. Yes, coin tosses. But that's not the whole story.

Clinton has embraced and touted her potential to be the first female president much more this year than in 2008. But she doesn't have all Democratic women wrapped up. Women under 45 are for Sanders.

Some wealthy conservative donors, including Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson, haven't put their money behind any candidate yet while Democratic donors have lined up behind Hillary Clinton.

The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll, considered the "gold standard" of Iowa surveys finds Clinton ahead of Bernie Sanders but within the margin of error. Donald Trump leads Ted Cruz by 5.

The newest batch of about 1,000 emails released by the State Department includes more memos and observations from Clinton friend Sidney Blumenthal and jokes about Joe Biden abroad in China.

Critics say Iowa and New Hampshire are too old, too white and too small to have so much power in the presidential nominating process. There are lots of other ideas, but tradition is hard to change.

Bernie Sanders said he would raise taxes to pay for his health care plan, while Hillary Clinton emphatically explained her plans and experience to young Sanders supporters.

Iowa's largest newspaper, the Des Moines Register, praises Marco Rubio's smarts and Hillary Clinton's experience in its 2016 presidential picks.
