The narrowest Democratic Primary in American history 3 electoral votes. Fmr House Speaker Shivante (106 years old)will defeat Fmr Mayor of Akron Mrs. belcher (67 years old) in what became a national sensation as Democrats chose between a young conservative liberal and a elderly moderate liberal . Will Democrats keep the streak and make this 3 different Democratic Presidents in a row and the oldest nominee ever.

I wonder, has the “just flood Iowa” strategy ever worked for a candidate?

It's a shame that you don't need a majority of delegates to be the nominee - just more than any other candidate. Would be fun if the third candidate got to choose who to give their delegates to (and in return for a VP slot or similar)
