Tomorrow should be an interesting day.

Right now you have 4 wanna-be presidential candidates in a statistical dead-heat with around 10 percent of the caucus potential voters being undecided.

Tomorrow it will be cold as nuts in Iowa.

It should make for an interesting day. Right now I am predicting Dean because his supporters seem like the kind to brave 17 degree weather to vote.

What do you guys think?

Given the proud, contrary tradition of "Iowa stubbornness," I expect a Kerry or Gephardt win over Dean. But it'll be a squeeker, whichever way.

Kerry

I'm sticking with Dean because of the Harkin factor (see my poll thread for a more thorough explanation).

Its too cold for fair weather voters. I am just not sold on the dedication of anyone but Dean's voters.

Following corplinx's logic, I'd go with Dean. I was expecting Edwards to win, since he seems to be the person that everyone has as their second choice.

Fair weather voters? In Iowa?


Have you ever been to Iowa in January? 17 degrees F _is_ fair weather in Iowa at this time of year.

Shoot, if the sun is shining it makes for a very nice day, actually.

Methinks you are completely clueless with respect to the people about whom you are talking. If you think 17 degrees is too cold, you don't live in Iowa.

I would guess Kerry. In fact, if Kerry can come up with some more money, he will get the Democratic nomination. That's the only thing holding him back. A strong showing in Iowa and New Hampshire will help him get that money, too.

Edwards is too young and inexperienced to win the nomination. The only thing he has going for him is good looks and a sense of humor. Maybe next time around.

Kosinich? An idiot. Say no more.

Sharpton is just in it to gain some political capital that he will cash in later on down the road.

Clark. Two-faced demagogue. No political experience, but that didn't stop Ike or U.S. Grant.

Lieberman. I would have given Lieberman the best chance for the nomination except for two major handicaps he can do nothing about. First, he's Jewish, so he can write off the South. Second, he has a whiny voice. You just can't get past that danged whiny voice! I like a lot of what he stands for. He is the closest thing to moderate the Democrats have. But that voice!

Dean. Six months from now it will be "Howard who?"

edited to add: Oh, yeah. Gephardt. Too much of a Washington insider. His time has come and gone, but he doesn't know it.

Kerry.

Ditto on the weather comments. Nothing intimidating about 17-degrees up here.

edited: was thinking Kerry but typed Dean. !?!
