Elizabeth Warren leads Register’s Iowa Poll for the first time, besting Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders

"SNIP......


Warren, the U.S. senator from Massachusetts, now holds a 2-percentage-point lead, with 22% of likely Democratic caucusgoers saying she is their first choice for president. It is the first time she has led in the Register’s poll. 

Former Vice President Biden, who had led each of the Register’s three previous 2020 cycle polls, follows her at 20%. Sanders, the U.S. senator from Vermont, has fallen to third place with 11%.  

No other candidate reaches double digits. 

.....

South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg follows the three leaders as the favorite of 9% of poll respondents. U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California is at 6%. U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Cory Booker of New Jersey are at 3%.

4. Thanks.

6. I know, I was making a joke

5. I white water canoed 70 miles of the Dumoine River in Quebec when i was 17.

I just assumed it was spelt the same. Moine means monk in french so a common word back in the day.

7. I think maybe there were more monks in Des Moines

than in the Dumoine River, since it's plural.

8. LOL! Don't know which Des Moines was named after:

"SNIP.....

Some believe that the current name (for the dumoine river) comes from Le Moynes, a fur-trading family in New France. Mr. Schaber and others say it translates to "river of the monk."
