Watching that video some Languishites posted on Facebook from a Democratic caucus and holy shit what a mess. :lol: If they get a similar voter increase the next time around it's game over for that style of voting.

Coin flips in Iowa?

I remember seeing the episode about this in VEEP but I can't recall what they actually did when it tied nationally. :hmm:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Sanders won voters under 30 by 70 points.

I'm not sure what is the point of that slant by nymag. Winning the future? As though the youth opinions won't change over time?

Since caucuses have lower turnouts and are disproportionately old, it may not be an encouraging sign for Clinton. But then many of the remaining states aren't all white.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Clinton won at least 6 coin flips, which is more than her current entire "lead"...

Trump has gone silent on Twitter.  15 hours and counting with no tweets (so nothing since the results started coming in).  Politico.com has even set up a counter. :lol:
