"8 years ago you were torpedoing the Dean campaign"
Hey! I worked in New Hampshire. It was Iowa that fluffed us over. We knew at the start of January that we were going to lose Iowa. I remember Jeremy Bird (you might recognize the name if you were on Obama's mailing list) being furious with his counterparts in Iowa who were pointlessly obsessed with the number of out of state volunteers they were bringing in while completely failing to set up the infrastructure you need to win a caucus state. Argh. That still frustrates me. And if we'd had more than one week between Iowa and New Hampshire, I still think we could have won NH. Winning beyond that, who the heck knows.
