Buttigieg: 25
Warren: 16
Biden: 15

I said at least three months ago that Buttigieg was the only chance that Democrats have up on that stage to beat Trump.

Maybe Iowa is a little quicker on the uptake than the rest of the nation and the DNC on that truth?



I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of being right all the time.

I was curious what that meant, and this was the most focused answer: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-happens-if-buttigieg-wins-io

What caught my eye was this: "He began gaining ground in polls there even before the October debate — his ascent ignited, perhaps, by an aggressive television ad campaign. (Since Sept. 7, Buttigieg’s campaign has aired 3,841 spots for an estimated $2.1 million in Iowa’s broadcast media markets.)" I wonder if that has to do with him being the darling of the ultra-wealthy, big-money democratic donors.
