In Iowa, anxiety and unpredictability cloud caucus finish

Associated Press  

DES MOINES, Iowa — On the eve of the Iowa caucuses, Democratic presidential candidates hustled across the state trying to fire up voters and make a last appeal to those struggling to make a final decision about their choice in the crowded field. Speaking to several hundred supporters in Cedar Rapids Sunday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders declared “we are the campaign of energy and excitement” and said “we are in a position to win tomorrow night.” Pete Buttigieg, the 38-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, talked up his newcomer status, telling a rally in Coralville that when Democrats have won the White House in the past, “we have done it with someone who is new in national politics.” But former Vice President Joe Biden, emphasizing his decades of Washington experience, told voters there’s no time for “on-the-job training.” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren pressed her supporters to “fight back” if they ever lose hope. For the first time, the Iowa Democratic Party will release three sets of results: who voters align with at the start of the night; who they pick after voters supporting nonviable candidates get to make a second choice; and the number of state delegate equivalents each candidate gets. “We view Iowa as the beginning, not the end,” Symone Sanders, a Biden senior adviser, said at a Bloomberg News breakfast. “It would be a gross mistake on the part of reporters, voters or anyone else to view whatever happens on Monday – we think it’s going to be close, but view whatever happens — as the end and not give credence and space for New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina.” Sanders, Warren and Klobuchar fanned out across the state, trying to make up ground after missing most of the last two weeks of campaigning due to the Senate impeachment trial.
