Quote by livingonli: I do hope Clinton finishes third. It would be good to knock her off the pedestal.
Quote by TriSec: *grunt*
Yeah, but if Hilary "loses", then we'll be faced with days of endless navel-gazing as the media tries to figure out why their appointed candidate couldn't rally enough support among actual voters...
Quote by will in chicago: Good morning, bloggers!!! Happy New Year!!! I think that Kucinich endorsing Obama is a strategic move. The candidate that Kucinich probably does NOT want to see come in first is Hillary Clinton. So, that may explain why Kucinich wants to ensure that Obama is in first or second. Also, I heard Thom Hartmann on WCPT AM 820 last night. I caught part of an interview with Kucinich. Kucinich said something about a former campaign manager of Edwards being on the staff of a 527 organization and that being improper or illegal. (I only caught part of it.) Right now, a Reuters/Zogby poll reports that Obama is ahead of Edwards with Clinton in third place. By the way, there will be a Caucus chat at Democracy Interactive about 8 PM Eastern/ 7 PM Central. A few good people from UNN will be there as well.
Members of Obama's staff have their own past ties to 527 groups. Obama's communications director and one of his closest advisers was once employed by a group that ran a television ad shortly before the 2004 Iowa caucuses that used a picture of bin Laden to criticize former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean's foreign policy credentials at a point when Dean was the Democratic front-runner. At the time, Robert Gibbs was working with a shadowy group called Americans for Jobs, Health Care & Progressive Values. The group paid for the ad but refused to disclose in a timely manner who was financing the effort because federal law did not require it to do so. Shortly after the ads started running, a labor union that had endorsed Democratic rival Richard Gephardt of Missouri acknowledged contributing $50,000 to the group, but said the ads had gone too far. The group had begun running ads in Iowa in early December 2003. One that ran before the bin Laden ad had featured Dean, side-by-side with President Bush, and compared their records of support for the National Rifle Association.
Quote by will in chicago: As I said, Raine, I only came into the comments after they had started. SO, I may not have fully understood Kucinich, although he did seem to hint at some sort of collusion.
As things stand, I don't expect most people to care if any past or current members of a campaign are in 527s. (I personally don't like 527s much.) The big issues to most voters are the economy (or should I say economic insecurity) and the war.
Also, if a Democrat gets into office next year, that person will have a clean up task comparable to Herucles and the Augean stables. (Herc had to divert a river to clean up the mess.)

Could be the number of people who caucused. If it was the popular vote, that would be small even for a state with a small population like Iowa.
