Releasing partial results for an indefinite period of time was downright irresponsible of the Iowa Democratic Party.

This is also unacceptable.

I'm beginning to doubt even the first dump at this point.

They should have at least gone to hourly updates.

At any rate, Mayor Pete has taken the "victory" ball and ran with it. If Sanders and Warren keep complaining about the caucus, Mayor Pete may gain a big advantage since he is looking ahead only.

But at this point, it's a talking and strategy game and so far Mayor Pete and Bloomberg appear to have the best games.

At this point, I would say that things are setting up perfectly for Bloomberg. It will be interesting to see how New Hampshire adjusts things.

And what guarantee do we have that there won't be any more disasters going forward? It makes the party look incompetent and Rethugs will attempt to never let us live it down.
