New Iowa caucus rules could spark clashing claims of victory

Associated Press  

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Iowa caucuses are never simple. “Adding additional numbers is going to make it more confusing for news organizations and people watching the caucuses,” said Derek Eadon, who worked as Julián Castro’s deputy campaign manager, was a top Iowa aide to Barack Obama in 2008 and is now supporting Sanders. “The only way to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee is by winning a majority of national convention delegates,” he said. “Delegates are ultimately how the nomination for the Democratic Party will get decided, so delegates are obviously an important part of what comes out of the caucuses,” Biden senior adviser Anita Dunn said. Jesse Harris, Biden’s senior Iowa adviser, said the campaign sees all three metrics — the first and second alignments as well as the delegate outcome — as important.
