I was canvassing in Ottumwa last Saturday.
I spoke to an awesome woman and her boyfriend. She was going to support Warren

But she was also a strong Bernie supporter and if Warren didn't make the threshold would caucus for Sanders.

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