My calls are getting better and better everyday!

finding pockets of Obama support everywhere.

Committed caucus goers!

Hopefully you all got my message yesterday that Kucinich told his people that if he is not viable(prob. will not be) to go to Obama. That one or two persons or more per caucus will help push us over the top.

Did anyone watch Morning Joe this AM? Joe said it was gonna be Obama and Huckaby in IOwa. He is right!

It is just the begining of the good news. It will keep coming as the days go by.

Most people who like the 2nd tier (K,R,B,D) candidates that I talk to are picking Obama for 2nd.

It should be a smashing win in Iowa. Hold on to your hats!

Thanks Laura,
The 2nd tier folks will make the difference I think. I'm getting worried about people picking Edwards as the "safe" choice. My son and his girlfriend are south of Dubuque until the caucus. They think things look very promising there. I'm going to be on pins and needles until Thursday night. But I'm so proud of my son and his girlfriend, giving up New Year's Eve and spending a week in 2 feet of snow to get our guy elected!!

Thanks Laura.

I look forward to your posts, because I am so tired of hearing from all those nervous-nellies and their predictions on the polls.

Keep up the great work!

Laura, so glad to hear about Dennis K. saying that. I have a couple K supporters in my precinct that told me we'd be their 2nd choice. The wonderful thing is that these Kucinich folks are usually very outgoing and politically astute. They will be great at persuading other 2nd tier folks to come our way the 2nd round. Remember, respect, empower, include!:)

I did see you post that and then couldnt find it reported anywhere. Is there an official announcement somewhere?

It is from Des Moines. They may not release it. Until last minute. Only because Kucinich is not concededing. I got it from Obama Central.

Yesterday,
Do you have a link to the original source of Kucinich's statement? I would like to have something to show Kucinich supporters at the caucus. I've heard that some of them intend to leave if they aren't viable rather then join a second preference group. It would be great to be able to get them to join us in our corner.
