Poll question: For those supporters of Kucinich, Richardson, Biden, Dodd, and Gavel...an Iowa question for you.

Hypothetically, your candidate does not make the 15% threshold in the Iowa Caucus. It's now round 2 --- what will you do? :shrug:

4. It depends.

If I can't convince others to realign for my candidate, I might see where I can be the most help for another canididate. Who knows? Possibly give a bump to another second-tier candidate and get them over the 15% hump, OR realign to keep another first tier I don't care for from getting the edge. I will play it by ear tomorrow night, although I have to say, things would have to look pretty grim indeed for me to leave the Biden camp.

6. Please share what your see

Cool that your on the front lines in Iowa youthere!

I'm sure DU would be interested in hearing what happened in your world (after the results start coming in). Ultimately, my goal would be to do what ever I felt meant the BEST CHANCE for a Dem victory in November next year. It may mean a compromise vote, but winning the GE is my first and foremost goal. IMO, Edwards is best situated to do that.

Alas, I'm not living in Iowa --- so all I can do is shout out my OP's here on DU.

Have fun tomorrow :)

7. Obama.

You know those candidate selector tests? I've taken all of them, and while Kucinich always finishes first, with Gravel close behind, Obama is invariably ahead of the rest of the top tier. I just took the test on Dennis website (a new one to me) and results were:

65 Kucinich
60 Gravel
40 Obama
27 Clinton
26 Edwards
25 Paul
24 Richardson
23 Biden
21 Dodd
-15 McCain
-23 T. Thompson
-23 Cox
-37 Giuliani
-37 Brownback
-46 Huckabee
-58 Tancredo
-70 Hunter
-70 Romney

Take it yourself at:

There ain't no way I'm voting for someone who voted for IWR, no matter how slickly and cynically they attempt to repackage themselves.
