Sorry, I disagree. There was something like 90% of some precincts where votes were lost. not sure about the number, but, in my mind - those were Democrats who took Rush up on Operation Chaos and voted for Rubio - they knew they could afford the votes to be taken from the D side with only2 candidates. Let’s not forget Microsoft so generously offering their vote tallying system to Iowa - they are the #2 donors to the Rubio campaign. The debate performance had nothing to do with this fiasco.

Thank God for Christie! He will call a spade a spade. I do like that about him even though I still have the Obama pictures in my head. ;)

Rubio performed as well as he did because of the slew of ads he ran late in the process, and the wall to wall coverage the media gave him for free.

If you notice, the counties he won were in the main media centers.

Good post.

Certain counties and age demographics just didn’t make sense.

What I’ve been looking for is an actual number of crossover voters.

Thanks for the recap of Iowa.

If you haven’t seen it, post #817 also has a review of Iowa counties:

Did you see how they kept the le Pens out of power in France? The establishments joined forces. I should have made more clear it was not just Democrats switching but independents as well. And there was some Republicans as well.

I don’t think you can switch on election day in NH, maybe someone else knows.

I agree to a point, but Iowa and New Hampshire are very different places. The national average for families making over $100,000 a year is 20 percent, in Iowa it’s 10 percent. The caucus system is a cluster and that should be factored in as well.

That’s awesome! All our counties are square and if there is a weather alert it’s hard to tell on the radar map where your county is, especially in the middle of the state.
