    Seems counter-intuitive, but Iowa eliminating the "virtual caucus" could conceivably hurt Biden. His base is old people, many of whom do not want to go out at night in the dead of winter: especially if they have to stay for over an hour. How many elderly will physically caucus?

        On that note: Selzer poll from June (seen as the gold standard in Iowa) showed Biden benefitting the most from the "virtual caucus" option. Maybe it ultimately won't matter, but something to considerpic.twitter.com/Bw79QkHiwZ

        If the option for a 90-something voter is not participating in the caucus at all, or potentially figuring out how to "virtually caucus" (probably with help) -- then it seems reasonable to infer the elimination of this option could in fact potentially hurt Biden

        Michael...I understand it's difficult to wrap your head around the culture of die-hard Iowans, but yes, the elderly class of Iowans WILL go out in the dead of winter to caucus...they've been doing it for years. The 'virtual caucus' was going to help progressives, not hurt them...

        The younger generation, the group who are glued to their phones and laptops are the ones who were going to be energized by online caucusing...it's in their paradigm to do so. The 'old people' not so much. This will hurt progressive candidates, not help them.

        I don’t think this is true. Old people vote in droves, even though many of them are frail

        To be fair, it also could eliminate a lot of young woke types who can't be arsed to part from their bongs to go to an IRL caucus.

        When did that take place? Must have been very recently because someone was just explaining a few weeks ago how the virtual caucus works.

        You’re acting like old people would be able to figure out how to virtual caucus.

        Not so sure about this. Is would probably be the youth that would be more likely to use the digital method than the elderly who have been going out to caucus for years.
