It is way too early to predict the Iowa caucuses..

No matter who is polling where..

I remember so well how John Edwards was supposed to take it all ..and he did not even get the 15% at our caucus for viability..

Just saying.. everyone in Iowa needs to keep the noses to the grindstones for their personal candidate they want to see go on..

And I view the myriad 'national' polls as WORTHLESS, only good for propaganda/stirring up trouble.

The only people with a real opportunity to have established serious thoughts and conclusions about the candidates live in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Everyone else should STFU!

AND, as tptb refuse to enable the full slate to appear before We the People in debates until October, DOUBLE STFU, pollsters!

Richard Gebhardt was supposed to sweep it in 2004 and he went no where.. not until the voting is done, does anyone really know where Iowa will finally pan out.. and yep the debates will shift things also..
