Pete Sure Does WIN! Cha Feb 2020 #6

Did he also win the popular vote? Legends303 Feb 2020 #3

Popular vote is meaningless in caucuses. Zolorp Feb 2020 #10

Bernie's camoaign fought to get it changed to the system that Pete won. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #13

Ironic, isn't it? And who is the one complaining the most about it? George II Feb 2020 #16

That is what bothers me about Bernie. Blue_true Feb 2020 #21

I've noticed that as well radical noodle Feb 2020 #49

Hoisted on his own petard redstateblues Feb 2020 #66

Yes he did!! Tried to put a primary in the middle of the caucus and we got what we got Monday Peacetrain Feb 2020 #68

There is no "Popular vote" in caucuses, like there is in a primaries. ehrnst Feb 2020 #35

It may appear that way for primaries but not true. LiberalFighter Feb 2020 #54

I believe he did Generic Brad Feb 2020 #42

People who support caucuses -- like Bernie's people in 2016 when he did very well there -- pnwmom Feb 2020 #45

Congratulations, Mayor Pete!! StevieM Feb 2020 #4

Looks like Sanders victory dance was premature. honest.abe Feb 2020 #5

Quite. Cha Feb 2020 #7

Sanders declared victory precisely because he thought this result was likely. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #9

Sanders lost the delegate allocation method that he thought would help him win big. nt Blue_true Feb 2020 #15

No, Bernie still got the most votes. Comfortably. DanTex Feb 2020 #24

2600 more than Buttigieg out of 170,000 (1.5%) isn't comfortably. George II Feb 2020 #28

But you weren't concerned with "votes" when it came to the GE in 2016. ehrnst Feb 2020 #36

Congratulations to Mayor Pete. Zolorp Feb 2020 #8

yep HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #25

Just curious, How much did Biden spend To LOSE? former9thward Feb 2020 #40

He started with less money than anybody else and fund raising has been a problem Zolorp Feb 2020 #41

Less than Bernie. HarlanPepper Feb 2020 #65

And considering he kept bragging about "25,000 volunteers on the ground", with 45,000 votes.... George II Feb 2020 #47

that's not correct NJCher Feb 2020 #58

The ONLY thing that matters in ANY caucus are SDEs. Any comments to the contrary are BS. Zolorp Feb 2020 #60

point me to reliable source that backs you up on that statement NJCher Feb 2020 #61

Every Caucus ever. Zolorp Feb 2020 #62

yeah, just what I suspected NJCher Feb 2020 #63

and AP won't/can't. elleng Feb 2020 #11

Aren't they also going to do a recount? I thought I heard that on MSNBC. ancianita Feb 2020 #12

We might never know until after NH Legends303 Feb 2020 #14

Good to know, thanks. ancianita Feb 2020 #17

Don't get these #s. Like Bloomberg got 2 tenths of a delegate? Laura PourMeADrink Feb 2020 #39

There are 3 different types of delegates. County, state and national. In terms of the nomination... Garrett78 Feb 2020 #48

Congratulations! SunSeeker Feb 2020 #44

There are 3 results reported this year, so there are actually 2 winners. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #46

Congratulations:-) AverageJoe Feb 2020 #53

Personally, I like them both bhikkhu Feb 2020 #64

Pete no federal political experience understands how caucuses work Fresh_Start Feb 2020 #67

Not delegates. SDEs and results now show they are one tenth of one % apart Nanjeanne Feb 2020 #69

I think the Winner in Iowa gets a 1 national delegate freebie for winning the caucus. bluewater Feb 2020 #70

Maybe. Don't know and it's such a clusterfuck we may not know for a long time! Nanjeanne Feb 2020 #71
