Watch for Gephardt's 10-11% to go to Kerry |
|
If he doesn't get to 15%, he may throw his people to Kerry. That will be the ballgame.

4. Yes, but I don't think they've reported yet. I may be wrong. |

My boss threw this at me. Food for thought.

2. I bet you are right, but I bet some support also goes to Edwards and Clark |

5. You're right Will. They are contemporaries as well as colleagues |
|
Age/seniority plays a big factor in these things. People like Tom Harkin notwithstanding.

6. AFAIK, it's per-precinct. |
|
So the 11% is from the caucuses where he got over 15%. Those where he did worse are likely what's helping Edwards' score a lot.

9. Yes, and that explains why Lieberman and Sharpton have 0% each. |

Gephardt's 10% is Gephardt's 10%, I believe. The precincts which have already reported are finished voting. I could be wrong...

Gephardt's supporters are more likely to go to Kerry than anyone else ( both experienced, old school Democrats, strong on defense, appeal to blue collar men).

8. Absolutely right on imo. |
|
Also, when and if (so I don't offned anyone) Gephardt drops out of the candidacy his supporters will go to Kerry.

Sen. Kerry's Free Trade stance is a problem with unions.
