Today's Iowa Democrat Straw Poll:
RCP Average Polling Data:
Obama 29.0
Clinton 28.6
Edwards 26.0
Richardson 5.0
Biden 4.5
So, if we assume the Ricahrdason/Biden camps will fail to attain the 15% viability threshold, they can easily control which of the" three standing" candidates wins!
If these same folks want to keep the Democrat primary "open" for a while longer, they need to deny either Clinton or Obama back-to-back finishes in both Iowa/New Hampshire, so they should throw their votes to Edwards.
Add this to the fact the Edwards' polling data has been trending up, I give him a better than even chance of taking IOWA.
