Nate Silver wrote an article this morning about who benefits the most from a hypothetical situation where the Iowa primary doesn't happen. The model showed Biden's chances of getting the nomination increasing from 43% to 50%, while Sanders' decreased from 31% to 24%.
None of this passes the smell test for me. The DNC saw Sanders' momentum increasing, and took steps to stop it.
