3. In the SV poll? No. And I think you mean 7% ;-)

In the last SV poll, Edwards was at 26%, Obama was at 21% & Hillary was at 20%.

Zogby had her up 7.

11. I read on DU it was 170%

WyldWilliam or someone like that said so. Hillary will soon be the 1st 2nd, and 3rd choice of 200% of the voters.

9. Iowa is going to be an intense ground game

Whoever gets the most people to the caucuses will be the winner. Having been in Iowa a couple times recently (Dubuque), Iowans are now just getting interested in the race for the most part. Many are undecided...but those that are decided AND go to the caucus in their precinct are all that matters in the end.

Ground game, baby. Ground game...

[Capn Sunshine]

12. It always is

Fortunately, on ground guys with Obama's campaign recognize polls are nice, but walking a supporter down to the caucus is more important.

10. William, what about this poll?

13. The only thing that's consistent in Iowa is...

...nothing is consistent at all.

The three top runners based on the averages of the 6 polls taken in the past month--

JE- 24.9%
HRC- 24.6%
BO- 20.2%

In sort, it's a statistical dead heat between all three of them.
