Biden supporter: caucus for your candidate - check this out:
Cecil Chapman
Davenport

I received a call from a pollster inquiring as to whether I planned to caucus and who for. My reply was “I will support Joe Biden.” Asked if my support was firm, I replied “definitely.” The next question was “Who do you think will work hardest for the American people, Clinton, Edwards or Obama?” my reply was “Joe Biden.” At this point the pollster repeated the question, and when my reply was the same, he said he’d consider that as “undecided.” When I reiterated my choice, he thanked me and hung up. My point is that when the answers didn’t fit what the pollster wanted he was no longer interested in my opinion.

1. I am beginning to think that I live in a foreign country.
Things like this are not suppose to happen in America.

This story is all over the place. I have heard it first hand from Iowans as well.

THE POLLS LIE!

4. We've been living in an alien country for seven years
but it really hurts when Dems play the same devious political tricks as the republicans.

2. Good for Cecil

this is the kind of thing that makes people a lot less likely to give up their support for their candidate. Don't they realize that when they do it? Apparently not....

3. We've had those for over a year. Most were from the Hillary camp.

6. Which is why Biden will surprise
the MSM "second tier" doesn't count.

Pardon my French, but fuck the media! :headbang: Oh, and Let's Go Joe!

9. This is the very reason...
why Biden is flying under the radar and should finish 3rd (or maybe even 2nd). Undecided = Biden.

11. I so hope you are correct
the Clinton/Obama/Edwards media obsession is UNBELIEVABLE. And I say this with all the impartiality and good will I can muster. The media coverage and the pools seem to be feeding upon each other with an ever increasing and insane frenzy.
