Third World Reggin posted:What are you drinking for tomorrow A hop bomb IPA - after drinking lagers for years the smack of flavors on the first sip grabs your undivided attention, but midway through the third bottle you start to wonder if what was initially a welcome change from the same-old-same-old is actually just a one trick pony of bitterness. Also if you profess online that it isn't your style a thousand smug twenty-something white guys will inevitably pour out of the woodwork to tell you why you are wrong.

Results should start coming in earlier than 10. This year, the IDP partnered with Microsoft to develop a system to report caucus results. Each caucus has an app which reports to the IDP. The IDP will update the results every 15 minutes with the latest results. The presidential preference portion of the caucus begins at 7:30pm. By 8, some of the first results will be coming in. By 9, most of them should be in, minus caucuses with technical difficulties or those with extenuating circumstances.

Caucuses are really dumb. Want to feel even worse about it? Sometimes if they are winning by enough and if enough delegates are being awarded in a precinct the presently winning group will send just enough people over to the last place person to keep them from being declared non-viable. This can prevent the second place person from picking up an extra delegate. The last place non-viable candidate is probably going to drop out in a few days/weeks anyway leaving that delegate up for grabs when things get finalized in a few months.

Uncommitted actually usually wins some delegates, and then they can go to the county convention and caucus for whomever they like.

I just can't fathom how democracy is done by standing in corners in the year 2016, and that candidates spend millions of dollars to get people to stand in corners. The whole 'yell at your peers you you can visibly see voting' is weird as hell too, as far as 'official parts of a real goddamn election' go.

The only time I was ever able to do the Iowa caucuses was in 2004 and this one douchebag went to the Kucinich area even though I heard him say earlier he wanted Dean to win. He then spent 5 minutes reveling in the attention that the Edwards and Kerry camps gave him to try to get him before going to the Dean group where he should have just started at if he wasn't an attention seeking rear end in a top hat. Good times.

That is loving madness and also weirdly fascinating. As someone who's only casually been following any of this, this puts the whole Sanders/Clinton thing in a whole new light because I can't imagine the chaos of a two candidate race in that setting.

Pragmatica posted:Sanders camp is very Between that, the "Do the math for us just in case it's in our interest to send people to O'Malley" App, and the imported precinct captains there's no shortage of this time around. Kinda wish Diebold had done the state party app just to see what that could have dredged up.I'm in Polk county and I'm torn between wanting a blowout so the O'Malley people won't hold us up forever since he's not going to be viable without help vs. a tight race that will inevitably lead to at least one extended public meltdown. Latest forecast I have shows snow starting at 7ish so odds are we'll get the double whammy of fewer 1st timers and less speechifying and loving around since people will want to get moving. It won't matter much in Des Moines since I can probably spit on a dozen caucus sites from my front porch (Seriously, they're like Starbucks. 2-3 on a block, or across the street from each other) but it can be a hike in most of the rural counties.
