Thank you for your good work.

BERNIE
Thank you for everything you have been doing.
Good luck, I hope the incoming weather stays away until it is over. I will try to hold it back, lol.
Thank you, again, for all that you have done and continue to do.
I always look forward to your posts
Thanks for the thread, cui bono.
Your posts are wonderful! Thanks so much for writing them and telling us what's happening on the ground. Really really useful to read and a nice counter-balance to the "news".
Go CoffeeCat and go Bernie!
I read that GREAT informative post earlier...just like being on the ground with them!
CoffeCat we all thank you!
Opps! Forgot...
Go Bernie!
Thank you a millions times over.
gracias, coffeecat 
on the ground have energized the rest of us, Coffee Cat. And how great that you could provide accommodations for other Bernie supporters. Out here on the left coast it's officially Sunday - the day before we celebrate. We're with you in spirit and gratitude in the home stretch. THANK YOU!
I am only doing what any of you would do--if you lived in the state where the Bernie campaign is in full force with an impending election day! (Monday can't come soon enough, I tell ya!)
Very soon, those of you in other states will be doing the same as I did--reporting awesome news from the Bernie front lines. I look forward to reading all of those posts.
It has been my pleasure to spread the word about what is happening in Iowa. So much great news and enthusiasm was NOT being reported. As we all know, a great deal of spin and disinformation is reported too--and it was nice to be able to dispel some of that.
Thanks again for this fun thread. I was shocked when I saw it!!
Send positive vibes to Iowa guys. This is tight. It really is. I do believe that The Iowa Poll is the "gold standard" and that Selzer's poll reflects not a perfect prediction of what will happen on caucus night, but it tells us where things are. It's close. Very close. And it all comes down to turnout and getting our supporters to the caucuses. I assure you, we are working hard in my area and across the state to get those voters there.
I've been to the rallies. I've seen (and felt) the enthusiasm. I know those rally attendees (and many other people who believe in Bernie) will show up to caucus. They know what's at stake. They know that Bernie is a once-in-a-lifetime candidate. They know we're at a crossroads. There's lots of reason to have hope. Bernie can win this.
I will be reporting, as much as I can, from our caucus site. It may be difficult, but I will at least try to post a short description of what the room looks like. Remember, I am in a very conservative suburb of Des Moines. We think we can win here and things really do look great, but it will be tight. I'm only one of 1680 Iowa precincts, but I'll be happy to report what is going on.
If you're interested in further reading, I wrote this DU post last night because I see many suggesting that Bernie has the three Iowa major university towns locked up, but it's not enough because those areas only garner 21 percent of the total delegates in Iowa. That point is only part of the Bernie Iowa story. He's got a comprehensive Iowa strategy. I think you'll find additional "glimmers" in this thread:

Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement everyone!!! Go Bernie!!!!!!!!
I wish I had done more... I attended the Rose Bowl Parade march where there were lots of Iowans but I wanted to do a bunch of phone banking after that but work and a prior commitment of babysitting my friend's 2.5 year old for a weekend (!) got in the way. I'll make it up on Nevada, maybe I'll even head out there!
Followed your link to that other post. I agree that they are miscalculating the young vote. I heard someone talking about how Bernie is working to get the college students back to their home towns to spread out their influence. That when Obama ran against Hillary it was during a break so many students were already home and that helped him out.
That thread is funny in a sad way. Hillary supporters so 'concerned' that college students don't risk driving in bad weather yet they support someone who doesn't think twice about sending them off to die in a war. 
Omg... I'm going to be on pins and needles tomorrow. But I really do believe he will win it.

I think we have the momentum and the enthusiasm. I have a very good feeling going into this.
I'm nervous too! When you care so much, that's what happens.
And there is no bad weather forecast for caucus night. A big storm starts at about midnight and will worsen throughout Tuesday. Clear skies forecast during the caucus.
It's almost as if some are hoping for a snow tsunami!
Have fun at your caucus! Let me know how it goes!
CoffeeCat and your team on the ground in Iowa!
my coffee cup in salute to you, CoffeeCat!
