I hate to miss all this excitement. The Bernie staff and volunteers there are fearless and awesome.

Bernie Bashers on both sides leapt for joy at Bernie's supposed crisis when he shifted staff in key positions in New Hampshire. I denounced it as much ado about nothing but cynics were undeterred.

Could a campaign in disarray achieve 1 million voter contacts by September with the Iowa Caucuses not taking place until February?

Come on!

Cynics will demand facts. Here's one:

Per WikiPedia, the population of the State Of Iowa as of the 2010 census was a whisker above 3 million. Even allowing for a yuge rise in that number, despite the exodus caused by tRump, the Bernie 2020 campaign has made the equivalent of contacts of roughly 30% of the entire state by Septmber!
