    Oh my.. I wish this Tweeter wasn't so "unsettled".  I'm so worried about his delicate soul.

    Congresswoman: Iowa, send someone who can win my state


    Well, she can always vote for a repeated liar



    umm did you even read the open letter? or did you headline scan immediately search for a meme?

    This congresswoman seemed pretty straightforward to me, without endorsing one over another.  given how she won in 18, makes sense that thats the play for now too.....

    anyway, you can't vote here, so win for us.....

    You keep coming back to this thing. You can't really let it go for some odd reason, and you doesn't seem to understand it has nothing to do with participating in this thread. Interesting.

    As Biden Makes Push in Iowa, His Ground Game May Have Some Gaps

    Democratic officials and some activists for the candidate say Joe Biden’s Iowa organization is weak in some areas, which could hurt him on caucus night. Biden aides say they have plenty of boots on the ground.


    DUBUQUE, Iowa — This city on the bluffs of the Mississippi River, which rose as a hub of furniture-making and brewing, ought to be a stronghold for Joseph R. Biden Jr. It is a blue-collar enclave with a Catholic heritage, aligning with his working class pitch to voters. Its 31-year-old, labor-connected congresswoman, Abby Finkenauer, has endorsed Mr. Biden.

    But as Dan Corken, one of Mr. Biden’s most fervent volunteers, knocks on doors here, he is dubious about the candidate’s prospects just days out from Monday’s caucuses.

    “If you want to look at the Biden community in Dubuque, the average age is probably about 72,” he said. “I’m having difficulties imagining some of the people I’m talking to door-knocking getting out on February 3 in the cold to go caucus.”

    As Mr. Corken approached the first house on a list of potential Biden backers on Tuesday, a volunteer for Bernie Sanders swooped in and planted two signs in the yard before Mr. Corken reached the door.

    “We’re all Bernie,” a man at the door told Mr. Corken.

    Caucuses are low-turnout affairs, making grass-roots organizing an essential factor for doing well in Iowa. Well-tooled campaigns depend on a paid field staff and armies of volunteers to identify supporters, ensure they turn out and provide leadership in the many school cafeterias and churches that serve as caucus rooms.

    But according to nearly a dozen county Democratic chairs and Biden activists around the state, Mr. Biden’s ground game has weak spots that threaten him with underperforming his polling in Iowa, where he has consistently been at or near the top.

    How did Ted Cruz do after winning Iowa?

    Interesting looking at polls over time. Biden is relatively static but in the lead. Sanders is (at least lately) on a rise and Warren is dropping. 

    Do you think anything could threaten Bidens 25+ baseline or will he keep it and later on eat up Mayor Petes, Bloombergs and Klobbys support if/when they drop out?

    Thought he had merged with the current President through osmosis and lack of character.

    You should read the report from teh Post on "second choice".  It's a good analysis on where they think votes will go after their candidates drop.  It's hard to see anyone but Warren's supporters (and Yang) going to Sanders.  The rest should generally go to Biden, but the problem is will Bloomberg stay in longer than Warren?  Whoever vanquishes their key opponent first has a great start at earning the pledged delegates they need.

    That was my first thought, too. Is "Look at what I'll do as King" supposed to be an appealing platform?
