  1. 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.
  2. 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..
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. https://www.cadf.ch/cadf-statement-on-allegations-against-jakob-fuglsang-alexey-lutsenko-and-dr-michele-ferrari/ That should end that discussion (sure it won't)
  6. The good old American's bashing handball Can't wait to see Cutler and Foxworth in the Olympic final
  7. 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)
  8. And we're getting results https://edition.cnn.com/election/2020/state/iowa
  9. Every member of the Norwegian team is not asthmatic (at least not openly from what I know). That is in fact the most problematic thing, that Norway has a tradition of using it, even on (usually) healthy athletes with some temporary ailments. But I really think you're oversimplyfying things (I feel it's not the first time that I've thought so ). It is in no way unusual to get asthma as an elite athletes. We would see a massive decrease in athletes in most endurance sports and even a sport like swimming (where chlorine most likely doesn't help) if we suddently banned all asthma medicine.
  10. Never too early to prepare. The stages for the TDF Grand Depart 2021 is out https://letourcph.dk/
  11. If you're talking about Fuglsang... Caught? They've investigated him (and may very well still be investigating) but haven't had the proof to start an actual case. Not saying that he couldn't have been doped, but so far he's innocent. It's not like we don't have any doping in Scandinavia, but we don't have more or less state sponsored doping like what has been caught in Russia. BTW you don't really have to look for long before you see that especially a lot of Swedes don't really trust Norwegian skiing
  12. https://twitter.com/ARobertsjourno/status/1224443166473932810/photo/1 And the first results from satelite caucuses coming in I wonder if we have something from the 3 in Europe (interestingly enough one is in Georgia) Edit: Paris and Glasgow are in as well
  13. Not so tough to find https://49er.org/event/2020-world-championship/#49erresults
  14. He's all in on super tuesday and it will be interesting to see how it works out. You could always discuss how important they are (and it may also be very different), but it has been the kickstart of some winning campaigns throughout time, and especially Iowa is seen by many pundits up there ranking just below super tuesday as it can create a major buff. But well. History is one thing. We can't predict what will happen and what it will cause. But Bloomberg not focusing on those states could just as much be a matter of realisation. He entered at a point where other candidates had already met a ton of Iowans, meaning that he would be behind from the start. By dropping those 4 states (Nevada and South Carolina as well), he has more time touring the next states (and posting millions into ads). It's not the first time somebody tries with this strategy (Giuliani did pretty much the same in 2008 though he was on the earlier ballots), but it's hard to say.
  15. That's where I felt sad for Slash instead Wouldn't mind Metallica at all
  16. WHAT? That was the very worst in my opinion (And it was more Black Eyed Peas ) . Vocals were not good at all and man was I sad that they felt like punishing Slash by being a part of it. Sadly other than Katy Perry, I seem to almost only remember the bad stuff for the last 10 years. A lot of forgettable shows, though it's without doubt a matter of taste.
  17. Haven't been through them all yet, but I really enjoyed the jeep commercial (but then again, I just love Groundhog Day )
  18. Danish TV figures are at 89k. That's low. But people streaming should take it up to about 100k, I believe.
  19. My bad. Did of course mean last year's Chl
