Predict Iowa for the Democrats

[elcorazon]

Edwards 33%
Obama 28%
Clinton 20%
Dodd 11%

Edwards campaign gets a shot in the arm.  Obama's keeps on trucking.  Clinton's is staggered a bit and Dodd lives to breathe another day and has a bit of a home field advantage in NH.  None of the others can be encouraged with the results.  First to drop out will be Richardson.

11% for Dodd? You have to be kidding me.

I'm grasping a bit, but there's always a surprise in Iowa - someone who connects better than expected.  I'm thinking this year it'll be Dodd.  Unfortunately for Dodd, he'll be no better than 4th place anyway, and a fairly distant 4th at that, so I'm not sure if it'll have any real meaning.  We'll see.  How was Edwards polling 4 years ago heading into Iowa?

LOL. If Gravel somehow beats Chris Dodd...

I predict 0 delegates for Gravel. Dodd might manage to get a couple.

Not if 2004 is any indication. Lieberman was polling higher than Dodd and managed no delegates.

why do you link Lieberman and Dodd?  Despite the same home state, they are nothing alike.  I still hold out hope that Dodd will surprise a bit... even if that only means 5% or something.  He's kinda like a less unpredictable Biden.  I could see the Dems who are feeling as though the big 3 lacks true experience might be grasping for Biden or Dodd as that choice and may opt for the more easily digestible Dodd as the guy to choose.
