New Poll shows open race in Iowa with less than a month to go

[Gefn]

A new poll released Friday shows the race in Iowa is still anybody’s game will less than four weeks until the first-in-the-nation caucus.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders narrowly leads the pack with 20 percent, according to the new poll conducted by CNN and the Des Moines Register. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren follows behind in a close second, having garnered 17 percent, with former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg earning 16 percent and former Vice President Joe Biden at 15. With a +/-3.7 percent margin of error, however, the race remains in a virtual dead heat without any clear leader.

Biden has to do something to grab the lead back from Bernie the commie.

Hmmm.... how 'bout this?
Gone are the days when my heart was young and gay
Gone are the toils of the cotton fields away
Gone to the fields of a better land I know
I hear those gentle voices calling, "Old Black Joe"
I'm coming, I'm coming
For my head is bending low
I hear those gentle voices calling, "Old Black Joe"

Still saying it's 50/50 on a brokered convention and a weak nominee.

This was on Drudge today. Lends validity to a brokered convention?

Many Iowa Democrats are paralyzed by fear of choosing the wrong candidate to take on Trump

DAVENPORT, Iowa — Susan Dreyer, a Catholic nun, left her monastery one day this week in search of an answer to a fateful question: Is Elizabeth Warren “strong enough to kick Trump out?”

“I’m still deciding,” Dreyer, 72, told volunteers for Warren’s presidential campaign when, after the Massachusetts senator spoke here, they asked the nun if she would commit to backing Warren in the state’s crucial Democratic caucuses next month.

Iowa voters are famous for taking their time every four years to decide which candidate to support, often insisting on a dutiful process of meeting several contenders in person before making up their minds. But this year is different, with many Democrats here so paralyzed by the fear of choosing the wrong candidate in the first-in-the-nation nominating contest that they are finding it impossible to make up their minds.

Iowa should take a knee and punt it to newhampster.  No sense looking like a bunch of feckless rubes.
