Reports indicate that Obama has brokered a deal with Richardson for second choice votes "in caucuses where the New Mexico governor can’t clear the threshold for competition." That might be a lot of caucuses. (HT: Politico)
If Obama picks up Richardson and Kucinich voters like this, it looks like he might run away with Iowa, leaving Hillary, can you believe it, in third place. However, Cooper over at the Huffington Post notes that much of Obama's projected support relies on the young vote, which is notoriously all talk and no show. And Edwards and his supporters are clearly hoping those silly young'uns stay home to get an early start on their weekend kegger.
"And those who were standing watched, and walked carefully near him, not knowing what he'd do--they'd all seen wonders, but nothing like this. And some said he was witchcraft, a phantom, and were afraid to answer him . . ."--Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

this one goes to those young'uns, eh? i did hear about the kucinich. dodd just dropped out. who will he side with?
and huckabee wins iowa.... hmmm...
anyways, too bad we couldn't have a litttle iowa caucus party together with some wine and popcorn. ;)
that would have been one fun party. things just get more interesting from here. i heard one commentator suggesting that Huckabee's win represents the "fracturing of the Reagan coalition."
is it wrong for me to find all this stuff "fun" and "interesting?" i'm asking that question right now as i read robyn's comment... but i really think it's interesting, and i'm SOOOOO glad that you understand. ;)
