Day one, no racing due to winds.

Me neither (going through the main performances right now), but at least 2 Europeans did. That counts

But the big question is... What event will keep Totallympians up next sunday?

Thought I was gonna get back on track there with 1917, but no. Haven't seen the winner at the moment of the award since Argo

Not World Tour

Not so hard. If you're not living in one of those 2 states or spend way too much time following this election (like me), you don't really know him

Guess you don't live in Nevada or South Carolina

And then I went through isidewith.com getting 91 % for Sanders and Warren Though it's very close with Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Steyer at 90 and only Bloomberg and Delaney below 80. And Trump at 26. Guess he won't be getting my support

Really? Buttigieg and Steyer are way above Sanders and Warren in my test

My top 5 (6). Not a big fan of that quiz. They don't seem to have done much to fill in the gaps meaning that several candidates end up lower than they should and several questions aren't that great either. Not surprisingly Sanders and Warren are very low (though above Gabbard)

Hong Kong has said no, but it sounds like Thailand will go, but no final confirmation yet from their NOC. If not, the spot should essentially go to the best continent, not the best non-qualified country (according to a mail from IHF to Danish newspaper Politiken), but apparently it's not quite so sure (as it's a completely new situation). So it could be Denmark (as best non-qualified from the Euro) or Germany (best from Worlds) or even a third possibility: A wild card. Personally I don't see who should get such a wild card (unless they decide to go for Australia knowing very well that they wouldn't stand a chance) other than one of those 2. It's afterall 2 major handball nations and markets and clearly the 2 best non-qualified teams. But then again. If Thailand confirm their participation, it doesn't really matter.

Guess we'll just stop this here.

on what basis?

Excuse me... Are you calling Sweden racist?

Another bad story for Sweden as European Cross country champion Robel Fsiha has had a positive test https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/a/1n31QW/svensk-em-guldmedaljor-avstangd-for-dopning

In fact Buttigieg got as much from liberals as Warren in Iowa (entrance polling, so give or take) and 15 % of the votes from non-whites (though this was most likely a small sample and therefore in no way certain to be representative of a momentum). Biden's chances does indeed rely on electability, but even among those focused on beating Trump, Buttigieg ended up with more votes. If that ends up representative during the next states, he is lost It's all one state and one that doesn't represent the country very well demographically, but it has given some interesting pointers for especially Buttigieg. It is still very likely that the lacking support from minorities will be in the way of his chances (and I still don't give him much of a chance), but Iowa has without the slightest bit of doubt been a major boost. He'll need to keep it up in NH and pick up new voters, also outside his demographical base. But Sanders vs. Bloomberg? I believe that a brokered convention is MUCH more likely than Bloomberg unless some of the moderates withdraw early (after Super Tuesday at the very latest). Even at this rate Biden will be getting way too much delegates for Bloomberg to get the majority.

Not really stacking up. He is spending big money on ads in Super Tuesday states. But I strongly doubt that it will be the money stopping the top candidates here. But I do think that candidates are looking at Bloomberg. He is moving up in national polling having surpassed Buttigieg in most polls and Warren in a few as well. If Biden collapses, it's not impossible that he will be dangerous. Most bookies even has him at second only after Bernie..

Well. His RCP average is down by 2 percentage points since Iowa, sooo But in reality Sanders is without much doubt the winner right now and if Biden doesn't manage to turn things around within the next few states (and it doesn't look like it) a highly likely total winner as well. Buttigieg has the win in NH within reach as well, but that's pretty close to his only 2 really strong states (though the IOWA effect does seem to push him a bit upwards in several polls). FiveThirtyEight has Sanders close to 50 % chance of winning. Second is interestingly enough a brokered convention while Biden has dropped to 3rd. The rest are still very low.

Tempting to give it a go though I don't think my CV would be that interesting for them I am out of job afterall

Uhm... Okay?

The good old American's bashing handball Can't wait to see Cutler and Foxworth in the Olympic final

That single Bennet voter

Okay. This one is better As @Olympian1010 says it's slightly complicated. Every single precinct elect a number of delegates (mainly based on size) to go to the local county conventions and select delegates for the District conventions (where between 5 and 8 delegates for the Party convention are selected per district) and the state convention selecting another 14 delegates). Basically 27 delegates are selected by their districts to represent the votes in the districts while the other 14 represents the state in total. But the way it's selected means that it may not completely be representative)

And we're getting results https://edition.cnn.com/election/2020/state/iowa
