I thought about you at the #Bernie watch party in CA (that has this place packed) when someone yelled #reparations ! You’re still the only one to stand up on this.

I think Pete's using the same strategy W took in the 2000 election, declaring victory before results were finalized. I guess we'll see if it works or backfires on him.

Sounds accurate
Three different sources say a firm called "Shadow" developed the Iowa Dem caucus app. They haven't responded to comment, neither has Iowa Dem Party. The firm was paid by both Nevada & Iowa Democratic Party, disclosures show. Also by Mayor Pete's campaign.
