Warren has the best ground operation in the State. Buttigieg is a close second. The challenge of Iowa is that its not enough to have people say they'll vote for you. You need a volunteer squad to round them up and KEEP them at the Caucus site for 2-3 hours on a cold winters night.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
