two states where biden is running strong, but two states that don t really look like the base of the democratic party. that sets up a very interesting conversation too. we ve mentioned it here. if the front-runner were to lose both iowa and new hampshire, so far we haven t seen when those states have been contested, we haven t seen somebody lose both and win the nomination, but there s plenty of room for firsts, at least theoretically. phil, end of the year, end of the financial quarter, we re starting to get some fund-raising numbers. elizabeth warren for the final three months of 2019, the final quarter, you can see there her fund-raising haul down more than $7 million from what she raised in the third quarter, a 30% drop there. that sort of coincides with what we ve seen in the polling as well. she was peaking around september, october. since then she s fallen back somewhat in this race. how significant is that fund-raising drop for warren? well, i think the significance of that
