I strongly oppose all-at-once. But Iowa shouldn't be first.

I was wrong about his widow winning, with nearly 78% of the vote in, Kweisi Mfume, former NAACP President, will be going off against Baltimore County GOP Committeewoman Kimberly Klacik in April. Mfume will easily win.
As for my take on next week....I'm sorry but I can't do it this week, I came down with the flu and don't really feel like poring through New Hampshire(though I do believe Sanders will get a boost if the Iowa trends continue, he will win and the only question is by how much) or the All Races Great and Small sections.

1. The people who built the voting app are former Clinton staffers, probably with a grudge for Sanders
2. DNC discouraged the results simply being phoned in, relying on the app instead
3. Those who designed the app had close ties, (in one case marital ties) to Buttigieg's campaign staffers, fanboys, and fangirls; after a very long delay, (to ensure data integrity, of course, of course) Buttigieg just happened to come out on top, even though the only polls that had him on top were his own

Okay. We'll do them in ascending order of the number of delegates, three a week for sixteen weeks plus one week with the last two. That would work. And none of this caucusing shit, just straight up voting, please, percentages to determine the number of delegates awarded.
Good. Who wants pizza?

Buttigieg has a bit of a slippery quality that I don't like, but at least he's not just coasting like Biden.
