Reddit figuring how to win Iowa

-snip-
Math people: Can we come up with an number that shows approximately how many students need to turn out to get Bernie to win Iowa? Then can we get a petition to pass around campuses to have that amount of students to commit to voting in the caucus?

Can we take the average % of the population that votes in the Iowa caucus (historically)...then take the % of voters that are usually students.

Then come up with an approximate number of student voters it would take to put Bernie over Hillary (using the most recent poll that says Bernie is down by 10%)?

This would give us a more tangible goal, especially on college campuses, that would help encourage those voters to turn out and show them just how much of a difference their vote can make. We are counting on them...we need to give them a specific number to deliver on.
