More results in and Comrade Bernie has jumped into the lead over Mayor Buttplug.....er, um....Pete.   Biden is still in 4th at a little over 13% which is pretty pathetic.  I suspect the only state he will win, if he stays in, will be South Carolina.  Even more funny is that Little Mike got a grand total of 6 votes which is basically 6%.  And he has aleady spent north of $100M on ads but admittedly did not focus on Iowa.  Have to admit I still don't get what he is after cause given the current base he has no hope of winning.

It is funny - they keep saying that the problem with the app was not the data, but something to do with the reports.

If the data is there, and intact why do we not have 100% now - I think they found the app was in the old coders lingo - garbage in garbage out - and the out was worse then the garbage in.

Need paper ballot backups and voter ID laws.

Primaries on the same machines as the elections as a stress test for the larger election, run the ballots through independant machines to make sure the #s match across the board.

  I believe the real reason for the confusion in the Demo's vote count was that either some of the dead voters switched or they were using the "new math"!

This is a huge embarassement for the Democrats, and has a lot more to do with fundraising than it does as a forecaster of who will get the nomination.  Was listening to different campaign managers as I was driving home from Montgomery yesterday - and they were all claiming victory at that point.  

You know, I don't think I can stand it if Sanders is the actual nominee.  Not only are his ideas adhorrent to me, but I can't stand the sound of his voice.

Sanders always sounds angry. Could he hang up the anger and actually govern?  It is easy to 8itch but not so easy to get things done.

He can probably govern, but I don't think you (or I) would like his type of governing very much.  Some economists/financial analysts have predicted that financial markets could fall as much as 40-50 % if either Bern or Warren are elected and the democrats gain a majority in the Senate.  I have to believe that it is virtually impossible for someone like Bern to be elected President (cue the "Flying Pigs" adage) but then many also said that about Trump in 2016.  I guess we will find out.
