There are lots of different scenarios and several candidates who have enough support . The state that its showing up. One of the things i would want to caution people and say some of the other people here on the panel can talk about this is that survey work is very ifficult these days. I think it is interesting that diane was exactly right, the three top polling are white men, and two qualified women running. Im curious how it will shake out. Im curious heavy second choice picks will come, because there is support for booker, for yang, for klobuchar. Where they go can have a big impact. If they all go to warren, this is a fourway tie. If they all go to biden, it is a runaway victory for biden, so the second place will have a big impact on the final results. Explain why the second place showing in a poll is important to what will happen on caucus night . When i say secondplace, i mean their second choice at the precinct. So, for those of you on the democratic side who havent done this b

But in this hour, i want our scholars to focus on the current caucus race and how they see the race unfolding, whos ahead, whos behind.

Cbs news butte in iowa. Buttigieg also 23 . I was right, three white guys. Yes, you were. I want to start, and i will start with you, how do you see this race . You watch it from your perch in misery. How do you see this contest . I am watching it from far and i have no greater insight than if i was immersed in it right now. I just noticed the cbs poll. It seems consistent with the impression i had, which is we really dont know what will happen. There are a lot of different scenarios and several candidates who clearly seem to have enough support in the state that it is showing up, but one of the things i would want to caution people, david and some of the other people on the panel can talk about this survey work is very difficult these days. It is difficult to get people to respond, it is difficult because of land lines and cell phones, is difficult to predict who will show up on caucus night, and if you have weather like today, turnout may be great, and if weather is terrible, which i
Unfiltered view of government created by cable in 1979 and brought to you today by your television provider. Are going to turn to nevada and talk to the editor about what is going on in the 2020 democratic president ial contest. Ne. Townht is the clark Democratic Party kickoff to the caucus gala in las vegas. What is the importance of tonights dinner . Thats notnt know the most important thing happening today because early voting starts in nevada today. Its the first day of four days before the caucus which is a week from today on the 27th. This is unlike iowa. The iowa caucus did not have early voting in this the first time im aware that any caucus has had early voting. Typically in nevada, more than half of the voters show up for early voting and i think thats maybe more likely during the caucus when the caucus process itself on caucus day can be intimidating and confusing and such. Fascinating toe see what kind of turnout they get what kind of impact early voting has on the caucus.
