Discrediting polls is a surefire way to delude yourself. I'm sorry to have to use such strong rhetoric, but I've seen it happen with other candidates and their supporters.

As for being in Iowa, I would *love* to do that. Unfortunately, I'm a grad student halfway across the country. If anything, I would try and get on the ground in New Hampshire. But yes, canvassing is a great way to go, and I hope Bernie starts making more small-time appearances there.
