Looks like Bernie may win SDE’s now in Iowa . Very close with 97%
VP has to meet same requirements as President from memory.Quote:

Rents are shockingly high right now.
Reasonable apartment in Wellington or Auckland is looking at around $550 a week [nz funny money] for 1 person, maybe 2.
Reasonable house can be a bit more.
Other parts of the country reasonable house is likely to be $300-450 a week give or take for 2-3 bedrooms.
Power for an apartment is roughly $150 a month, Auckland is the only city that charges for water but consider potentially $60-120 a month for that.
Reasonable mobile phone and internet plan is another $170/month give or take.
shit at 0.65 USD per NZD sounds like a fucking bargain!
True though petrol ($2.20/litre which appears to be $8.14nz per gallon) can be expensive, food is arguably expensive tho some good options available.Quote:

Project Veritas released an undercover video from within an Iowa campaign office of Elizabeth Warren.
Cliffs: Lots of internal drama, and one Mexican dude within the campaign is tired of the LGBT pandering.

Went to New Zealand in December 1994.
Beautiful place, would like to go back and visit. Summer weather was surprisingly cool and rainy -- similar to Los Angeles in the winter!
It's a place I'd consider living if I left the US -- though it being far from everything besides Australia would be a downside.

So 97% of the precincts have reported in Iowa... you know... only 2.5 days late, and it's still not done.
Bernie now just a hair behind Mayor Pete, and Bernie is projected to be the very narrow winner.
Here's how it shapes up:
Pete 26.2%
Bernie 26.1%
Warren 18.2%
Biden 15.8%
Klobuchar 12.2%
Oh, and look at this laughable situation regarding the voting fiasco:
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/05/polit...ing/index.htmlQuote:
A person on the call told CNN that Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price defended Shadow, the company that created the failed app. He said Shadow put a full proposal in -- while Microsoft and others did not. Iowa selected Shadow after Nevada already signed on with the firm.
Price promised an independent review of the counting controversy, a person familiar with the call said, and was defended by Iowa labor leaders on the call.
Price said the backup phone lines crashed because internet trolls got the number and flooded the lines Monday night.
So internet trolls were able to ruin the Iowa vote tallying by calling up the backup phone lines and making them crash.
You can't make this shit up.
:fail2
She’s totally screwed and probably not viable. Also that staffer seems American, so not sure why you’re calling him a Mexican like he just crossed the border a month ago.Quote:

I have done some research on Biden tonight.
My conclusions:
1) He is looking bad, but not completely dead, on a national level. My biggest concern is that Bloomberg is going to suck away a lot of his support from older moderates. Still, I probably want to hedge on Bernie and maybe sprinkle some on Bloomberg. The best time to hedge, in my opinion, is still going to be after South Carolina.
2) Bernie is probably winning Nevada, but it's far from certain, due to the scant polling data. We've basically seen no polling since January 14. However, a Biden victory there would not be shocking. In general, Nevadans are political moderates, and beat to their own drum. This is why Hillary's unexpectedly strong numbers there in 2016 made people pessimistic about Trump's chances (since Nevada's numbers came in early), and then it turned out that Nevada was an outlier. Right now you can get excellent odds on Biden in Nevada (almost +900), but I think they will get even better right after New Hampshire, where Biden is likely to get clobbered. I will probably fire some on Biden in Nevada right after the NH numbers come in.
3) Biden is better than even money now in SC, but again, I expect that to fall after New Hampshire, and maybe even fall further if he loses in Nevada. I will fire on him winning SC after New Hampshire numbers come in.
Immediately, I will do nothing. My plan is as follows:
Late 2/11 after NH results come in: Bet Bloomberg to win it all, bet Biden to win NV and SC. Bet Biden to win other black-heavy states where I feel there's value.
Late 2/22 after NV results come in: Bet more on Biden if he loses NV
Late 2/29 after SC results come in: Provided Biden wins, bet on Bernie to win it all.
guessing this Mexican kid is like 22-25...he fucking gets it...he knows what the game is and how to attempt to win it...and the fucking mongs who are running the asylum have no fucking clue...Quote:

Bernie has a huge organization spread throughout the country. Biden does not.

I like warren, Hillary, klobuchar all good longshots.
biden is definite born presidential fail, ppl will get sick of pompous pete, and the dnc will try to screw bernie
Bernie has a shot at winning Iowa lol.
So it's either going to be 'Pete paid off shadow inc to rig the app' or 'The DNC intentionally delayed releasing the results so Pete could benefit from as many days off apparent success as possible'.
Yeah I feel a little bad for him that he got exposed on hidden camera like this, because he is one of the few sensible people in the video.Quote:

The campaign is going to see him as a traitor and probably fire him, but truthfully he actually gets it, and I feel his frustration. The dude wants to beat Trump and see a platform of traditional Democratic talking points, and all he sees is a lot of pandering extremism and nonsense. He's watching Warren crater because she's trying to be Bernie Lite and failing, and he can only shake his head.
The one thing that conservatives and the left agree on is how the centrist liberal DNC is corrupt as hellQuote:

The app failure screwed Pete more than anybody
i still have a hard time believing Bernie Sanders can win the democratic nomination as he’s not even a democrat.
quick reminder that this guy hasn’t even been vetted yet. He hasn’t seen negative campaign ads or faced scrutiny about his love for communist dictators. oh and he is running on taking away everyone’s health insurance and replacing it with Medicare.
can’t wait to see what Trump’s private investigators dig up.
we need this to be a brokered convention and for Bernie to get screwed so that the socialists get engaged and form their own party
