7. I think snow will be the cause

They are predicting snow even earlier then before especially in the western part of the state.

[Hortensis]

10. Take heart. Voters in both states do not

expect the weather to keep them home. Snow is expected to hold off until Mongpday night and especially Tuesday in Iowa. Needless to say, this is good for Bernie.

[yeoman6987]

24. Cool. Thanks.

[Luminous Animal]

26. Just updated by calendars to Mongpday. Thanks for the giggle!

[Hortensis]

55. :) Just think of the possibilities for Tuesday.

[artislife]

42. It is Iowa, afterall. Snow is not the unknown.

And why do they think it will only be a problem for Bernie, anyway?


This really is the silly season.


Go Bernie!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. the old people won't be coming out in the snow

[riversedge]

2. LOL.

[Hoyt]

5. What else can one say to such junk?

[CorporatistNation]

15. Well, How Can You Explain Corruption in A Corporatist Government As It Applies To THE Corporatist

Candidate?

[Stuckinthebush]

33. It is really silly, no?

I mean...my god.

[riversedge]

46. Getting sillier by the hour.

[Live and Learn]

4. Telling students to caucus in the wrong place or better yet, just stay home and be safe. nt

[INdemo]

6. If there are buses taking voters Bernie Sanders voters to their caucus sites

Check the drivers credentials really close ...

[yeoman6987]

9. That should be a jail offense. If either campaign did that. It be the lowest of politics.

[INdemo]

37. Agreed...but I would not put that past some

campaigns to try that but surely buses or other personal transportation transporting voters will be driven by campaign volunteers.

[yeoman6987]

48. It is obvious that I sorta know the big picture politics

But I never would have thought of this as a potential problem. I hope both campaigns have a handle on it.

[KoKo]

8. No Doubt About It!

I've broken my Boycott of MSM and today's views showed nothing but Pump Hillary/Diss Bernie and Media Whoring throughout!

I'm cutting out of now...Had Enough.

At this point Bernie is on the Wings of 's and for those of you Non Religious....lets just say he's on the "Wings of Truth" and we have to wish him the Best given what he is Up Against! And, I am confident that he has a Great Will to Survive if "The Force" is with Him...which I think it is!

[Skwmom]

13. Edgar Cayce believed in a collective consciousness. If you don't know anything about him,

here's a link if you'd like to check him out. http://www.edgarcayce.org/are/edgarcayce.aspx?id=2074

[KoKo]

22. Thanks...I do know him and his predictions....

's

There are forces beyond... Let's hope for Bernie...I think he has the wings.

[redstateblues]

28. Love the Edgar Cayce reference

I've read everything I could about Cayce- He lived right up the road from me in Hopkinsville KY. A truly amazing phenomenon!

[CorporatistNation]

16. I Have Seen Enough FASCIST SHIT Today As Well!

Hoping That Sanders Team Is Up To The Challenge As I foresee Plenty of CHEATING from Clinton Incorporated! Who are the referees? Probably the Foxes in the Hen House!

[roody]

34. We have it covered!! Bernie precinct captain here.

[people]

35. We have it covered!! Bernie precinct captain here

My husband and I were phone banking today into Waterloo and Davenport Iowa. Of those that would talk, several were undecided but going to caucus. Several were strong Bernie, several strong Hillary. What does your precinct look like to you? Is it rural?

[roody]

36. Des Moines suburb. Appears to be a place

of mindless conformity, but canvassing has introduced me to very nice and thinking people. I just moved here in October to live with my very elderly father.

[redruddyred]

49. with the exception of, like, maddow

everyone has been piling on this guy

couldn't shake the feeling that throughout the demdebate they kept changing the topic to foreign policy in order to accomodate ms clinton.

i liked hillary before i saw her attack bernie with totally misleading political doublespeak nonsense during the last debate.

"sanders wants to kill obamacare! we must save obamacare!"

sorry but i'm with the Rs on this one, it's a crap law authored by the insurance companies, however, with the exception of bernie, no one's offering anything constructive, just "repeal! repeal! repeal!"

i'm so disgusted with all of this that it's actually motivating me to make a stronger effort for mr sanders here in my own state.

[DanTex]

11. "They." LOL. Spooky!

[retrowire]

23. Go Warrior Goooo!!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/110739127

Nice work. XD

[redstateblues]

29. Victims to the end!!

Maintain the outrage.

[amborin]

12. Clinton represents the ruling elite, they are going all out to try to obstruct Sanders' nomination

she will stoop to any tactic

and call me paranoid or ignorant but i even think the email issue dump this Friday is suspicious to drum
up dem sympathy for Clinton (as apparently occurred in NH in 2008)

[cantbeserious]

31. ^^^ This ^^^

eom

[INdemo]

38. Duplicate

40. Well she has wanted this for 30 years and this is her last shot so

[grasswire]

14. you are right about what Halperin saw in Iowa

The person he talked about (don't remember the name) is a Clinton FIXER -- the one called when things are going really sour. Halperin made a big deal about this.

[alcibiades_mystery]

17. ROFL

[beaglelover]

18. Um...Halperin is in Iowa because he's filming a show about the primaries for Showtime.

He and his partner have been there the past few weeks. The show airs on Sundays and it is very timely. You would like it, they've spent a lot of time behind the scenes with Bernie and his wife. So far, no shows have concentrated on Clinton, so maybe this week's show does and that is why he was with Hillary.

[Doctor_J]

19. They are following Rove's playbook

I have lost all respect for her supporters.

[mythology]

20. Considering that at least the Halperin point is obviously a conspiracy theory

and somebody else is suggesting that the Clinton campaign might somehow steal the Sanders campaign's buses, do you want to reconsider your opinion of Sanders supporters given they seem to grab on to any and all conspiracy theories to slam Clinton regardless of any lack of viability of said conspiracy?

[redstateblues]

30. C'mon- You never had any!

admit it

[Ned_Devine]

47. I'll admit it

[msongs]

25. the entire universe to infinity and beyond is an anti-bernie conspiracy that's for sure nt

[Skwmom]

50. Yeah, I must have imagined the photoshopped/partially omitted email. n/t

[Senator Tankerbell]

27. The fixer that was brought in was Michael Whouley.

Interesting guy. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Michael_J._Whouley

Halperin said he was traveling around Iowa with Bill Clinton. He asked Bill what it meant for Hilary's campaign and Bill said "probably something good."

[navarth]

32. Well that's an eye opener.

I recommend looking at these links

[JDPriestly]

56. Whouley per Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Whouley

Whouley was a key strategist for both Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. Whouley helped jumpstart both Gore's and Kerry's comeback in the presidential primaries after they came close to being overtaken by Bill Bradley and Howard Dean respectively.

Whouley is regarded as one of the Democratic Party's best field strategists and as a result has earned the nickname "The Wizard". Despite this, he is fairly reclusive and very rarely does media interviews. He avoids reporters as much as possible.

Mark Halperin of Time reported on December 14, 2007 that Michael Whouley had been working for Senator Hillary Clinton's Iowa campaign for several weeks.[3] Whouley also ran Clinton's New Hampshire operation in January 2008.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

39. The whole deal that if you have less than 15% voting for O'Malley

Hillary will send over "n" number of Hillary voters to create a viable group, keeping those O'Malley voters from crossing over to Bernie.

I hope the O'Malley people, if any Hillary people come over, they should all walk en masse to the Bernie group. That would teach them!

[radical noodle]

54. President Obama did the same thing in 2008 by sending people to Edwards

I heard no complaints from anyone at DU then.

[Empowerer]

41. Poor Bernie

The only way he could possibly lose is if he's the victim of conspiracy.

If he can't figure out how to avoid getting sandbagged in Iowa, how is he ever going to be able stand up to the Republican machine?

[MeNMyVolt]

43. Good. He's not presidential timber.

Never was, never will be.

[valerief]

44. They'll start arresting anyone under 50 next!

[sadoldgirl]

45. Sorry guys, but what did you expect?

We have seen the 08 campaign by the Clintons, and
how very very "clean" it was. Her hiring Brock was
the clearest indication of their intentions.

And all of us know that the M$M will do everything
they can do against Bernie as well (see WP).

All we can do a) activate more in social media,
b)support SBS in as many ways
as we can.

[Bleacher Creature]

51. I'm so glad Mulder and Scully are back!

[workinclasszero]

52. Are you guys worried?

[senz]

53. Hopefully, the Bernie campaign has no illusions about the opposition.

She's been single-mindedly focused on this for 15 years and now is probably her last chance. She's not hindered by ethics. She's loaded with dough.

Eh...but whoever heard of vote tampering? Or dirty tricks? Nah, never happens.

Hopefully the Bernie campaign has no illusions...

...and the Berners come out in droves!
