Bernie Sanders might slip in the Iowa caucuses' delegate tally because his support is relatively concentrated in college towns, the new Iowa Poll suggests. If a candidate’s supporters are concentrated in a few precincts, they could wind up translating into fewer delegates than if supporters were spread evenly across the state.

In 2008, caucuses were January 3 when students were still on vacation. This year, with the caucuses on Feb. 1 and the universities in session, students who want to go home for the caucuses could face missed classes and long drives on icy roads.

So 3 counties account for 27% of his vote? He can't get more delegates that way.

I found this contradictory article the other day... They are downplaying expectations, but if DMR is right about how concentrated Sanders support is, he's done. More inclined to listen to the Iowa Des Moines Register.
