Random last minutes thoughts from Des Moines

Streets are closed because Trump will speak at Drake University, in my neighborhood, tonight.
The signs in my neighbor are evenly split between Amy, Bernie, Pete, and Warren.
There's a reporter on every corner, well mostly at bars, coffee shops, and cafes.
Trump is sending 80 surrogates to Iowa next Monday.
Joe & Mica think they're cool at Java Joes. They're not and neither is Java Joes.
It seems everyone is either pandering to or pissing on Iowa.
The candidates think they have to spend 2 years here and nearly half the voters are still undecided this week. Another year wouldn't make a difference because we know any Dem is better than Trump.
As on DU, many are trying to figure out who could beat Trump in November, others are choosing candidates who best represent their political agenda, and some are trying to do both.
Polk County Democrats are incredibly organized and successful due to strong and innovative leadership and the enthusiasm generated by the multi-candidate caucuses.

I'll caucus for Warren.
