[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]National polls don't matter that much at this point in time because of the way we've structured the primaries. Bloomberg is barely on the map in Iowa, NH, or SC.[/quote]

You understand that's intentional, right?[/quote]

A bunch of ad buys may get you voters but won't get you delegates. If he wins none of those first three states how can he expect to get the nomination? He's also polling behind some combo of Biden, Sanders, and Warren in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Texas, Virginia... So I guess I'm not following your logic.[/quote]

DP.  Math is not your strong suit.  At the Democratic National Convention there will be 4750 total delegates.  Iowa has 49 delegates.  New Hampshire 24.  South Carolina 54.  Total 127, less than 3% of the total number of votes.  The only important these states have is early voting and the possibility that they are early indicators or bellweathers of trends.  But they don't have to be.  Trends could start after those states and become much more important.
