over at Daily Kos. Looks like we're fully on track, now, for the superdelegates to deliver the nomination to Clinton while the Sanders supporters head for the Stein camp. Musical accompaniment:
"The war on Gaza, backed by the West, is a demonstration that the West is willing to cross all lines. That it will discard any nuance of humanity. That it is willing to commit genocide" -- Moon of Alabama
has a tough schedule -- she has to be a narcissistic ethical egoist, a poseur, and a right-wing Methodist all at once...

The Sanders people outnumber the Clinton people over there about 2 to 1, which should be something like 20 to 1 given how little the Clinton people have to go on. She can't pay everyone to vote for her, can she?

What, surely you don't think I'm that capable or clever enough to put it together, do you?

I'd just get my comments flagged.
Less than 1% difference in Iowa means...not much. A caucus never means as much as a primary and Iowa doesn't have a good reputation for predicting things.

And it's just a caucus. But, more significantly, the general public will now wake up to the fact that there's an election on, or so says FiveThirtyEight.

DES MOINES, IA—Declaring that all voting-age citizens who took the measures would be spared, Hillary Clinton ominously instructed her supporters throughout Iowa to mark their front doors with her campaign logo before sundown, sources confirmed Sunday. “All those residing in Iowa take heed: Your home shall bear the mark of my campaign this eve, or may God help you,” said the Democratic candidate after dispatching a phalanx of campaign staffers to all four corners of the state to spread the message of her directive. “Be within your dwellings with the doors closed and locked before nightfall, and do not cross the threshold before the sun rises again in the sky. The emblem of the red-and-blue H will protect my true voters.” At press time, Clinton issued a statement ordering all Iowan supporters who remain on Monday morning to bring forth their progeny between 18 and 34 years of age to the polls.
Although I haven't been following the state nuances of the Republican Primary races. I assumed Trump would take it. Had I been paying attention to white-state Iowa, I would have focused recent reports that Cruz was campaigning with Conservative Jesus at this side.

Complaints of Hillary voter fraud by caucus goers on FB. Problems with “some” of the MS apps too. Iowa Dems failed to use impartial chairs. . Anything to avoid the headline “Hillary loses Iowa” headlines. Bernie won this. The Dems are playing with real fire if they try to steal this election.
LDs live blog was great. Hillary's people did one for her. Have no idea who did the front page.

But hey, apparently accusing a politician with a perception of dishonesty of doing what we expect of her is Conspiracy Theory.
And yeah, I fully expect every other primary to smell bad. Because the MSM will be looking for their Dean moment this election. Obama could be bought, and they knew it. Probably for a lot CHEAPER than Hillary.
click on the three linear dots [. . .], click on "embed tweet", right click and copy highlighted embed code, paste the embed code into the comment or essay body, done.
I'd been trying to stick the url and hyperlink it, but it' the same as in an essay. Thank you. But then I' had to make a whole different Davos diary on an extra wordpress site I keep since embedding the Tweets and pasting in the urls...left huge swathes of blank space here. Guess Drupal can't just ignore them.... (smile)
you need to embed a tweet into a comment or diary, be aware that if you just preview the comment or diary, it just shows you the text part of the embedded tweet, but as soon as you post the thingy, the whole embedded tweet with images etc. will show up. That had confused me first. It is all there even if the preview just shows a text kind of link. May be that is also something that only occurs on my computer. So, just do what JtC said. He is the boss and knows what he is doing.
It works.

Because I had a sudden prophetic vision of exactly how it was going to go down. I knew Hillary was going to win, and that it would stink to high heaven when she did, but the MSM would conveniently ignore it. I hate it when I get those because they're almost always dead right, but nobody will believe me, so I never bother telling anybody.

Hey are you going to put this diary up?
I would be grateful.

Done...
I'm with you on Jill Stein if Bernie gets bumped.
yep
Me too!
And LOL, Hillary is back to being a progressive again. It makes me dizzy trying to follow her various twists and turns!

this could be a top comment at DK except that it would probably HR'd to hell and back

I've seen it in the Sanders diaries once.

Actually, that's where I saw it and had the idea to post it
here.

Santorum won Iowa in 2012
I'm just amazed that Clinton didn't totally collapse
The facade holds!

I was there on DKos and all I found was
politeness and bon homie. But then I didn't stay too long or search very widely.
Is Cruz really the Republican nominee for President?
To thine own self be true.
This is just Iowa.
And it's just a caucus. But, more significantly, the general public will now wake up to the fact that there's an election on, or so says FiveThirtyEight.

9:00 PM PST and .2% difference
with Hilary leading by .2%
What happens if there is a tie, a recount?
To thine own self be true.
Hillary warns supporters

For me, the Cruz win was unexpected.

...can you tell me how you got a Tweet to embed in the comment stream? I haven't cottoned on to that yet.
Go to the tweet page...

Hi Wendy...
if you want to post an essay with some tweets, include the tweet urls and I'll embed the tweets for you. No probs.
Hi Wendy, if you do what JtC told you, when
you need to embed a tweet into a comment or diary, be aware that if you just preview the comment or diary, it just shows you the text part of the embedded tweet, but as soon as you post the thingy, the whole embedded tweet with images etc. will show up. That had confused me first. It is all there even if the preview just shows a text kind of link. May be that is also something that only occurs on my computer. So, just do what JtC said.

But I was drawn to read part of this post at the Guardian on which musicians support, yada, yada. My guess is that you'll find it...exasperating.

I believe Big Money wants Hilary, therefore she will win
hope I'm wrong. Waiting for a miracle. Bernie's showing last night was a miracle and it made the Clinton family very sad.
