iowa caucus

The voting for Democratic nominee officially kicks off tonight in Iowa, and I'd like to have a thread in which we try to game out how it all shakes out on one side of the aisle, preferably in quantifiable terms. Personally I think Bernie is going to finish very strong tonight, probably taking...
