here and there that the Minnesota senator's Iowa-focused campaign has been picking up steam of late. One recent poll had her in third place -- ahead of former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
If Klobuchar finished top three -- or higher -- it would be a MAJOR victory for her as she has labored for months (and months) for a moment to catapult herself into the top tier.
How would it happen? Voters like her Midwestern roots, her record of accomplishment and think Biden is too old and Buttigieg is too young to bet on. (Klobuchar isn't really fishing in the same voter waters as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Warren.)
If Klobuchar finishes out of the top three, it's hard to see her lasting much beyond Monday night -- particularly if the two moderate alternatives (Buttigieg and Biden) finish above her.
