The Iowa Democratic caucuses are coming down to a photo finish as only one-tenth of a percentage point separates Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders with 97% of precincts reported.
The former South Bend, Indiana mayor holds 26.2% of state delegate equivalents as of 12:50 a.m. EST on Thursday, the traditional unit to measure a winner that translates to Democratic National Convention nominating delegates, while the Vermont senator has 26.1%.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden remain in third and fourth place with 18.2% and 15.8% of state delegate equivalents, respectively.

The DNC got caught red-handed...again. The only difference here is that they are trying to cover their tracks because it only involves their own. None of us on the right are surprised to see this. We experience it every election, all over the country.

Two commies off to see the world - one is light in the head and the other is light in the loafers.

The Dems squawk about counting every vote, then report 3 sets of voting results for each candidate - 3 days late.

Interesting note - in Cherokee County, Iowa, Fauxcahontas finished a distant fifth with a paltry 4.4% of the vote. You'd have thought that county would have been a lock for her!

And how many of those Iowans are that lady who had no idea Buttguy was a practicing homosexual with a 'husband'. I do wonder, however, is Buttguy the girl or the boy in that 'relationship'. Yecchhh!

Good point, #7. So there was more Warren in Cherokee than the reverse?

To me it is hard to believe that in the middle of this country (the so-called heartland) that a Communist and a homosexual wife won a political battle.
Granted---they weren't running against much but this country is halfway down that slippery slope and sliding at break neck speed.

Snort! So in trying to rig their own elections, some bright Dim (oxyMORON, I know) decided, "We can't let the Bern win, so let's make it LOOK like a close race between Bern and our chosen one. Then right at the last minute, our chosen one can squeak by and burn the Bern."
Yeah, that'll convince the Bernie Bros that everything's on the up-and-up! And, tell me, are the non-Bernie Dim voters in Iowa really so stoooopid as to accept this fiasco?

The two biggest radicals finished first and second. Third place was also a radical. Fourth place was just befuddled and lost. DOOM didn't get one vote. Did the Democratic Iowa caucus get over 3000 votes? It hadn't last time I checked. Meanwhile PRESIDENT Trump received over 30000 votes. Why the disparity? Was the Democratic Caucus invite only? If this is the best the Democrats can do, they need to go back to the drawing board.

You'd be surprised #10. I have a bit of experience with Iowa and can tell you that not all fit the hardworking Midwesterner image we in the great plains like to project. I am witness to some of the most blatant and elaborate abuse of the welfare system and SS fraud on the part of people not simply with means, but living far better than I can afford. And that's right in Iowa. And just in case someone needs me to paint the picture, I am not speaking of any classic victim hood segment of society.
The dole is a cultural rot. As of last November we were still paying out a Civil War pension. Sound absurd? Not at all. By marrying an old veteran a young woman could qualify for the old geezers pension and wouldn't have to put up with him for too long. Well darned if some of those rascally old veterans didn't have a few good charges left, and managed to procreate. "Free" money breeds, (I could just leave it there) all kinds of behavior. Of course that money wasn't free for the man who was dodging minie balls and grapeshot nor the "real time" wife who's husband never returned.
The lure of other peoples money is a powerful force, it will rot whomever is targeted for bribery by government using their neighbors money.

Thanks, OP, for the opportunity to set my cup down before reading the comments.
#8, Buttboy is the girl and often refers to his husband Chasten but there will be mass confusion when or if they start talking about First Lady and who really earned the title. "Mrs. President" just doesn't have a proper ring to it. Maybe they will save us some money by not requiring His & Hers towels in the White House bathrooms but this is uncharted territory. Pete biting the nail could fill an entire joke book on its own.

during the 2016 presidential campaign, Dollar Bill Clinton was asked what he wanted to be called when Lady Lucifer became president. He opted for 'First Laddie.'

The real ‘nail biter’ in this circus is guessing what else Perez has up his sleeve to get rid of Sanders. It looks like they will have to give up on Biden. They aren’t going to pass up Bloomberg’s $, already proven by re-arranging the debate rules to accommodate him. What these hapless liberal fools don’t seem to get is that the DNC could not care less what the voters want. They pick their own candidate.
