Without taking anything away from Sanders's strong performance, this will be a big question from Iowa. Why don't the stadium events, 10x larger than any other candidate, translate into votes? Everyone in the audiences pinky-swore that they would caucus!https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1224825621307674625 …
The thing is he draws enormous crowds of dedicated people. It's the mismatch between that and the (good!) uptick in turnout that is the mystery

I would be interested to see campaign # in terms of turf walked/voters contacted vs precinct turnout. I don't think they ever expect huge stadium events to be 1:1 voter conversion, esp b/c out-of-staters attend the ones w/big acts. I think NH will be real test of his strategy.

The Sanders campaign is very disorganized when it comes to the kind of field you're talking about (or at least it was in Iowa). But turnout and enthusiasm are much higher than for other candidate. I agree the NH results will be fascinating!
