The main reason? The Iowa caucuses are now exactly 15 days away and <a href="https://eu.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/caucus/2020/01/10/iowa-poll-2020-bernie-sanders-lead-iowa-caucus-president-election/4426492002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">we are headed for a photo finish.</a></p> <p>As of today, the candidates with a reasonabe chance at an Iowa victory are former Vice-President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Buttigieg has lapped other minor candidates in the moderate lane, even those that looked great on paper (<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/02/us/politics/steve-bullock-2020-drops-out.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Bullock</a> comes to mind), while Senators Sanders and Warren compete for dominance within the progressive electorate. All the while, the Vice-President continues to cruise ahead in national polls, strong and stable and running a wave of perceived electability.</p>
