iowa, dan hausle. so tonight really could catapult some campaign helping them gain momentum as we head into new hampshire primary arnd hiller is in new hampshire with some analysis on tonight's numbers. let's start with republicans. who on that side is walking away from iowa feeling pretty good tonight? >> oh, we have two. the first is texas senator ted cruz who had a great night. if he had lost effectively he probably would have been done. and remember, he was second in in the polls so he out performed expectations. this is quite a coup for cruz. people who don't take him seriously are making a mistake. >> but biggest smile may be on marco rubio's face he got many more votes than expected and by coming in third he established himself not only as a major candidate, but potentially as the alternative to donald trump if you watched rubio you saw him act as if he won because when it came to expectations and potential, and growth, he did. >> andy so now to the democrats, tonight's vote is so close in iowa we still don't even know whose going win. so does that mean that the democratic party is split right dow

iowa. he saw cruz as a threat in iowa. here in new hampshire he has many main stream rivals. >> stewart stevens your reaction to what happened last night in iowa, you have been predicting for a long time that you didn't think trump was going to be able to win when people had to actually cast votes. >> yeah, when you think about that it was a conservative estimate because donald trump is an unlikely guy to win an iowa caucus. i think new hampshire is very per plex. when you look at the poll in iowa it didn't have the numbers exactly right, but you could see where this was headed. donald trump had a one to one unfavorable within the republican party. that's unusual. it's like a general election number. so i'm going to be very, very curious to see where he is with his fave after iowa. we're in a horse race, but the internal numbers are what i would look at to see how people are reacting to him now and i think we just don't know. >> he's very angry now at ted cruz for saying that donald trump is anything but an opponent of oba
