attribu at buttigieg. who came out was joe biden in that. he was going after him. a cold night in iowa, it is cold in february, i have been out there, it is really cold. you go out there at night, spend three hours with people you know or may not know. tell them how to vote. that s a unique person. is that a biden person, is that person politically committed, go out, suffer the public exposure of how they re going to vote? i think it falls more to progressive candidates. it is a commitment. not like oh, i m going to vote in the morning, take 15 or 20 minutes. you have to sit around an hour, listen to the speeches. i have given one. and they pass a basket around.
a solid, honest guy that wants people to know what they re getting. people say this might work in iowa in a democratic caucus, may well work. i think he is the frontrunner. what about the south, more traditional parts of the country. are they thinking that way or are they saying no, i like this guy. that s a good question. i don t know the answer. i don t think we will know the answer. all i know is iowa counts. watched it in cases where there s a regional candidate. you re on the way to winning the nomination, it is so powerful, a white state largely to be blunt, just is. but people have gone from iowa, then you go to new hampshire but in the end, the iowa guy wins. iowa counts. anyway, thank you. merry christmas to you both. tom brokaw joins us to talk about his work covering the impeachment of president richard
last question. you think you re the only one in the universe, everything is revery, dreaming, how much does the voter in iowa know that he or she is speaking for millions, tens of millions because they re deciding basically which way this is going. do they think like that, i am voting for the country? i don t think so. i talked to iowa voters, i have been at caucuses. i think people take their responsibility really seriously. they look at their state as having a national responsibility. but for them, it is personal. you know, it is a demonstration of a thing for a candidate, but not the only thing. you go to the new hampshire primary, i have been in new hampshire in a primary, too, you have to get your voters out when it is really cold. buttigieg is gay and married. everybody knows this. he wants us all to know this.
is. vice president joe biden 19, basically the same. and elizabeth warren, she s in 16. if you look at the top four, they were all bunched, all within two or three. can t predict anything finer than that six weeks out. set the tempo for what followed on super tuesday. have some fun. it is christmas time. what do you think? who is moving up? who has the m.o. i think clearly coming out of the debate, buttigieg continues to demonstrate he has momentum. i was struck by joe biden s strength out of the debate and his numbers now. i think it is anybody s game in iowa. and it will be about who organizes their people to get to the caucus and caucus for them. it is an organizing game. obama found that out. we could have a situation where we have a one, two, three that
ridiculous. you re staying with us. we re going to talk politics. already been talking politics. a photo finish i think in iowa. you can t predict what will happen in a month and a half now. talking iowa, it is coming at us. be right back. wa, it is coming us be right back. tom steyer: i m tom steyer,
