:staymad:real race is if Klobumomentum can top Warren & Biden in the end. A respectable 3rd could earn her heavy Veep consideration

Literally what is the point of releasing this information when they can't report the entirety of the results? This has been a complete train wreck from start to finish.

As I said, any decision to release less than 100% of the results is unethical.

If Bernie actually won, or hell if Warren won or anyone other than Pete, then the damage is done and he is able to claim a victory he did not win.

If it is vice versa, the same applies.

They should have stuck their guns out and not released it until they had 100% or given a strong timeline for when the other 38% is coming in.

CNN said candidates had campaign people at every caucusing place so it's conceivable that the buttigieg people kept a record of numbers.

I'm already seeing so many different outlets get this wrong, claiming that Buttigieg has the edge in the popular vote when he absolutely does not.

Yes, just as it is conceivable that he did not win. Every campaign likely kept records. We know Bernie, Warren, and Pete's teams did at least.

Earlier this morning on CNN he walked back his victory and said he was happy to have won in rural districts that Trump won, which seems to imply that he cannot definitively say he won (and therefore should not have been so presumptuous)

MSNBC saying that Bernie's outstanding counties are big. So the last 38% could be a big boost for Bernie

looking at the county breakdown in college towns. Warren and Bernie splitting the progressive vote between each other... :awkney: I don't like this progressive split... Will this happen in California as well? :awkney: Will Elizabeth Warren's delegates honor her supposed progressive agenda and back Bernie Sanders at the DNC when she eventually drops out? :awkney:

A disaster for Biden. 

Hopefully Bernie can come on top.

Buttigieg doing well in rural areas.

Exactly.

I KNOW I am biased, and I will very readily admit that.

To whoever the winner is, this entire debacle has robbed them of their potential momentum and historically epic bump in the polls.

If Pete did win, but announced early without knowing, it reduces his likelihood to be able to create an effective narrative going in to NH/NV and especially SC, especially with the SOTU coming up and Trump's acquittal tomorrow :deadbanana: 

If Bernie won, he won't be able to take that momentum into the other states where he was predicted to become the official frontrunner after that win, because of the media coverage.

It is a mess all around, and this decision did not help anything.

I just learned that in 2016 Ted Cruz won the IOWA Republican Primary. Anything can happen!

So how long now before we actually get to hear the remaining almost 40% of the votes?

This is just ludicrous
