    I hear Pete Buttegieg has Ukrainian roots - at least his name sounds like it could be Ukrainian - plus once ate Chinese takeout.
    Pretty sure that calls for an investigation.

    Iowa and NH only matter because of the so called band wagon effect. It appears that a significant number of people will change their vote to support a rising candidate or to leave a failing candidate based on these early results even though the actual number of delegates awarded is meaningless/

    ruh roh I don't like what I was just hearing from the Kornacke guy on MSNBC, he was saying it's looking like Bernie won because he got a big majority in the urban areas and Pete was stronger in the suburban and rural ones...

    say it ain't so, analysts tomorrow!...

    or maybe Amy can do something bout that in the future....

    as always, it ain't over til it's over, ask Presidents Paul Tsongas and Gary Hart

    this is the kind of hyperbole I don't trust, at the same time it is the way politicos talk and how they attack, and it's Olivia Nuzzi reporting it and she's pretty respected, soooo, I think it's worth a gander. At the very least,it's worth knowing that it's a meme being spread"

    I find this interesting. I think he represents an important type of voter and an influencer type as well:

    Bernie is winning and it’s fine! https://t.co/snNOHvr8al

    Establishment’s gotta lock Pete and Amy in a shipping container, like in the Shield, move forward with a single post-Biden champion rather than two people who are going to spend the whole next debate blasting each other.

    Yglesias followed that with this retweet:
