NEW YORK — 270 Strategies Principal Hari Sevugan, a former senior Obama campaign spokesman and National Press Secretary for the Democratic National Committee, appeared on MSNBC Live With Kate Snow to discuss the campaigns of Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders in the run up to the Iowa Caucuses.

“Secretary Clinton has now had six or seven years as Secretary of State. She’s shown that she’s got incredible experience in this area and I think the type of contrast that she’s able to provide versus Senator Sanders is very different than she was able to show versus Senator Obama, who in the Senate, took the lead on issues around nuclear proliferation and other foreign policy issues where he was an expert. The contrast wasn’t as strong there. It’s much stronger this time around.”

“I’m not holding my bets. Listen; given how much Senator Sanders’ campaign has touted their momentum, anything short of a victory in Iowa and New Hampshire would be a failure for them. But in the end, it’s going to be a delegate fight, and this is going to go into Nevada, and people are going to come out of Iowa and New Hampshire — both campaigns — with delegates. They’re going to go into Nevada and South Carolina, into March 1st. I think we’ll have a better sense after that.”
