A New Hampshire state lawmaker switching support from Warren to Klobuchar

Democratic State Rep. Michael Pedersen told NBC News that his support had been shifting over the past couple weeks and that it solidified for Klobuchar after Tuesday night’s debate in Iowa, amid a growing feud between Warren and fellow progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
“After the debate, I saw everybody pairing up — Sen. Warren and Sanders competition against one another, and then everyone else. I just think those two as a team, Sanders and Warren, they don’t appeal widely across the nation as Sen. Klobuchar,” Pedersen told NBC.


This says something about the "feud", but it also says something about Klobuchar and the dynamics of the race also.
The real issue with the Feud is that it is squeezing both Warren and Sanders into a narrower slice of the protentional support. Before the Media narrative set in I was pretty sure Sanders was going to win Iowa now I'm not.

This makes it not a zero sum conflict as it is likely to move some right out of the lane altogether.

But it also shows that the race is less static then people think.

And the one attribute of Klobuchar that is hard to see but is right there. She wears very well, over the long slog she just doesn't dip.
