I wonder if he will push hard in NH or go for South Carolina instead.

I don’t think he’s going to go easy in any state. I think he’s going to try to sweep all the states!

“[Iowans] represent middle America untarnished by ‘coastal’ mentality and economy.”

That’s certainly the CW, but it’s outrageous nonsense. Living on one of the coasts doesn’t leave a “tarnish” or provide a “coastal mentality,” whatever that means. People living on the coasts are regular people just like those living in the middle of the country. Your offensive idea above is one step away from “latte-sipping, effete liberal” smears — and it’s bunk.

Oh well kdh22, it’s such an uphill struggle here in deep red territory, I was hoping. I have dem allies here, but not FDL’rs. Did you go to University of Dubuque, Loras or Clarke?

Do you still live in northwest Illinois? I’m in Galena. Would love to know if there are other FDL’rs nearby for get togethers. Maybe could join with Chicagoland people as well.

Biodun, thanks. My personal experience differs, but I’m in a red place where everything is askew and I hadn’t seen the numbers segregated by status.

Hummm That’s cool. Glad you quoted it. The Paul supporter I talked with was young, black professional-type female. No way this could sit well..

…It can go beyond that, conspiracy. Once you pass viability, there are thresholds before you get to extra delegates. So often you end up with spare voters who make no difference in your delegate count, but if passed to another candidate, can deprive a rival of a delegate.

Damn, that’s some complicated shit.

I live right next door in IL. Went to school near the border between IL and IA. Used to drive to Burlington to drink legally while I was attending college in western Illinois. The driving back was always the tricky part LOL.
