General Politics Discussion (VI) [ARCHIVED] • Page 2146

Your memory is not correct. SDE has been what NYT and AP have used for ages. It’s dumb, but true.

The Associated Press called the race for Clinton shortly after 1 p.m. ET Tuesday. Based on the results of Monday's caucuses, the state party said Clinton received 699.57 state delegate equivalents; Sanders, 695.49.

 

...and of course reporting like this COMPLETELY omits any discussion of the PV. Not even a blurb in the 4th paragraph or something? This is directly analogous to winning the PV but losing the EC nationally, which... I kind of doubt would go unmentioned.

2020 race moves to New Hampshire as Iowa keeps counting - CNNPolitics

 

Getting closer! It’s gonna be down to the wire for SDE. I would love an entire cycle of Pete claiming a fake victory.

 

SDE margin down to 0.1% with 97% reporting.

Bernie got this if the rest are mostly satellite caucuses, right?

 

I know for sure a few of them. Might cut the lead by a third. I don’t know the others.

 

Some weird combos there. Would have thought Warren would pick up more Klob voters...Def wouldn't expect her and Pete to be the top beneficiaries from Yang voters.

Warren seems to have wide appeal, her voters went to all sorts of different candidates. Petes only flocking to Biden and Klob are strange, would have thought Warren would have picked up more there.

 

Feel like the effective delegate tie is still very much in play.

 

If he can get 12 SDEs from the IA03 Satellites, where Pete did the best, stands to reason he can get 4 from IA01...

 

Pete Buttigieg is more electable than Bernie Sanders — and more progressive than you think

didn't realize they've gotten to Pete lol

edit: don't let the headline anger you, it's written the same way their other candidate cases are, as in it's supposed to be taken as declarative even if the author doesn't truly believe it (pretty sure matthews is more of a bernie/warren type IIRC)

 

This tweet aged well.

 

*Bernie thick Brooklyn accent calling in to Paris France* uh qui qui mother fucker, parlay voo down to the polls

 

I only have two results from that. Can’t extrapolate with confidence.

 

This actual result doesn’t really matter now and is gonna basically be a tie, but I’m invested anyway.

 

I feel like not winning would hurt Pete a bit. Hes still gonna get a boost from this. But he'd get a bigger boost if he won.

 

Lmfao. Fuck you needle.

 

At this point I think the counts gonna be negligible. Reminds me of 2016. We’ll see.

 

I .... have three results.

I .... god damn it’s close. Bernie may just win the SDE count too and tie in pledged delegates with Pete anyway.

 

lol...went to Nate's feed and apparently they didn't ahve the satellites loaded into whatever program runs the needle, so they shut it down.

 

Biden seems locked at 6.

Bernie between 12-14. Pete 12-13 I think.

 

Where does Bernie get the 14th delegate from? If he gets 4 SDEs on Pete in IA-01 he gets another of the PELO delegates but that seems to be it.

 

IA3 and statewide.

 

Low key the funniest tweet of the whole Iowa caucus

 

I just realized the next debate is on Friday. Feels like it came quick. Also find it weird they are doing it on a Friday lol

 

me when I saw that Drew Carey was trending on twitter
