Iowa
Bernie Sanders is ahead in the tally of votes; the delegate count is arriverd at by an arcane counting methodology (think Electoral College). Pete Buttigieg benefited from Joe Biden's collapse; there is no foreseeable pathway for the mayor to the Oval Office, but it was good of him to stick a fork in Uncle Joe. Donald Trump had a good night ... and so did Michael Bloomberg. Nevada is undecided. New Hampshire is Sanders' to lose. Biden is up by only 10% in South Carolina. Sanders supporters need to double their efforts. In 2008, progressives put aside their differences to stop Clinton (John Edwards got out of the way by suspending his campaign); expect the party centrists to try the same thing on March 3 to stop Sanders. Get to work.

The race would not be over if the Dems would get their heads out of the sand and listen to Michael Moore. He says any Dem can win by doing exactly what they did in 2018 -- put a lot of initiatives on the ballot in swing states that will appeal to young people and force them to come out and vote. Initiatives about marijuana, healthcare, cheap/free education, and green energy/climate change. These are the things young people care about, and without them, the Dems will not win. Even Biden could win if they do this, though let's hope it doesn't come to that.
