Poll: Obama and Edwards posed to finish in top-two
On the morning of caucus day, a poll has just been released that shows a last-minute surge for both Barack Obama and John Edwards. It appears that many of the undecided voters are turning away from Hillary Clinton. Here is the last from Iowa:
IOWA DEMOCRATS
(likely caucus-goers)
Barack Obama - 31%
John Edwards - 27%
Hillary Clinton - 24%
Remember, Obama trailed in this same Zogby survey just days ago, and slowly crept back.
On the Republican side, Huckabee has a comfortable lead over Romney. The surprise in the GOP poll is Fred Thompson, whose late surge has helped him pass McCain.
Have you heard that Richardson is asking his supporters to caucus for Barack Obama if Richardson falls short of 15%?
That, along with the Kucinich support, would almost certainly guarantee Obama the win in Iowa.

Is that true about Richardson? If it is Obama will be in a nice position. The suspense is huge!

I'm tired of Obama being the media darling with very little scrutiny. I'm tired of his boasting about his anti-war stance. He was not yet elected into office to take that anti-war vote. More disturbing is that he lacked back bone to vote on Iran. It doesn't matter that he claims he would have voted "no". The other three democratic presidential candidates took time off from their campaigns and voted!
