Sanders and buttigieg tied now, within the margin of error, 25 and 21 . Warren at 14 , statistically tied for third with joe biden. Straightforward implications here. A top three emerging in the race, sanders, buttigieg, and warren, with buttigieg gaining the most. A poll by the boston globe shows him going up 12 points. Also, serious trouble for joe bidens campaign. He is flagging in both states, and it is not just that he is running behind. The more concerning trend for his campaign is this continuing collapse falling from 18 to 11 , and new signs his team is making emergency moves. The Washington Post is calling it a lastditch effort, moving advertising. Polls are a snapshot. You know a candidate is making a dent if more famous candidates suddenly feel a need to take them on.

He could take her to a hospital 30 miles away where Department Policy said he should take her or go closer. Follow the protocol or break protocol and go closer and risk her getting the wrong kind of care. In matties care he broke protocol and thankfully it went well. The bravery was precisely that. Has ever or would ever speak about it in those terms. In fact, speaking about tight day, lieutenant said merely we transferred her to a gurney and gave a report to the nurse, went back to work.
