Iowa Caucus open thread!

File under: Democrats screw everything up, but still want to be in charge?

Apparently the mystery unpublished CNN poll showed Biden in fourth place, and under 15%.

Early "entrance" polls apparently show a four way race... as expected. However, in certain areas, the Biden support is soft, and in at least two early caucus location reports he failed to reach 15% and even be viable. 

Buttigieg and Klobuchar are keys. If one or both of them are "viable" (15% or higher) in many of these individual caucuses, that means that the Biden group cannot swallow them in the second round. Warren is expected to hit 15% in most places, but if she didn't, it's possible her supporters might flock to Bernie.

Very early results suggests that this is a 5 way race with Bernie in the lead at around 22%, followed by Buttigieg, Biden, Warren, and then  Klobuchar sitting at 15%. As I write this, Buttigieg overtakes Bernie by 4 votes and slides into first place.

This is moving at a snails pace... less than 2% reporting almost 3 hours past the start. But sort of crazy (and it means very little right now) - but Klobuchar has overtaken Biden for 4th place. Of course, this 2% is not likely representative of the entire lot, and I would be shocked if that held.

The app is apparently broke... and the Democrats cannot figure out a different way to get their results reported? You can't trust them with technology.

Sounds like it will be a while till we get results. Apparently the Democrats are counting with fingers (and toes), and then they will write down the results with crayon, and fax the document into the headquarters, where they will then take them to a a guy with a visor and old adding machine to tally the results.

They might beat the impeachment vote!
