Iowa Results Update

Based on 71% returns, RealClearPolitics estimates that Sanders and Buttigieg have so far each won 11 delegates coming out of Iowa. Warren has won 5 and everyone else 0.

That is a bad look for Biden and Klobuchar going on to New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina. A ho-hum look for Warren, as well.

Iowa will send a total of 41 pledged-to-a-candidate delegates to the national convention. So far an estimated 27 of that 41 have been identified.

Not clear is what is needed to assign the remaining 14. Complete results, perhaps? Iowa has been a Democrat disaster, a real-time demonstration of their organizational incompetence.

New Hampshire votes (no caucuses) next Tuesday. After those results are in, I expect to crank up the bye-ku generator.
