Sanders Builds Iowa Ground Operation

Sen. Bernie Sanders has quietly assembled an extensive ground game in Iowa, “with 100 paid staff members and with trained volunteer leaders for each of the state’s 1,681 caucus precincts,” the New York Times reports.

“The field team is meant to be the engine for a Sanders upset in the caucuses on Feb. 1 — the vehicle to turn out the tens of thousands of grass-roots supporters who show up for Mr. Sanders’s rallies, even if they no longer earn him headlines.”
