The field's turned
upside-down. Here
it is: the Des Moines
Register's Iowa Poll.
- John Kerry, 26
percent
- John Edwards, 23
percent
- Howard Dean, 20
percent
- Richard Gephardt, 18
percent
It's close, and Dean and Gephardt
are still thought to have the superior organizations heading into
Monday's caucuses. But this is quite a turnabout, no? And
organization might be offset by passion. Check out this
paragraph:
In another sign of
strength for Kerry, he is supported by 33 percent of those
definitely planning to attend the caucuses. Dean comes in second
in this group with 21 percent. Edwards and Gephardt follow with 19
percent and 16 percent, respectively.
Of course, this raises many, many
questions. If Kerry doesn't finish first now, is it worse than if he
had never held the lead? If he does finish first, do New
Hampshire Democrats care? Those are just for starters.
