1. I don't think Iowans make up their minds
until they've met every candidate in person at least 3 or 4 times. :hi:

2. Still undecided in eastern Iowa
on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi River. But to tell you the truth, I am sort of, kind of gently leaning toward Kucinich. But I also like Obama, Edwards, and believe it or not, Bill Richardson. Actually, I think all of our candidates have pros and cons, as do all humans. I wish we could somehow melt them all together to create one perfect candidate. But since we can't, I'll continue to lean toward the aforementioned four.

3. Planning on caucusing for Edwards
Thought he was the best in 04 and think he's the best for 08. Someone working for Senator Clinton called the other night and upon hearing about my Edwards support asked who my second choice was. I just don't know. I do like Richardson and Obama and Kucinich. But Edwards has the best, most well thought out plans in my opinion.

There aren't a lot of bumper stickers and yard signs out yet but the ones I do see are either Obama or Clinton.

4. I'm supporting John Edwards
although we may be in Arizona at caucus time, so I might not be able to vote for him. Right now, Richardson would be my second choice.

5. I'll likely caucus for Obama.
Kucinich is my 2nd choice. I caucused for him in 2004.

6. Edwards has my vote so far.
I just wish that Kuchinich would actually campaign in Iowa. I would love to see him.

7. That decision is still a tough one. It's a long way to go...
That said, I like the way the Dem candidates are coming back at the Repugs as soon as they pull a swiftboating shenanigan. I think that's the only way they are going to stop it.

I'm looking at Obama...wish he were a little older and more experienced...

I'm also looking at Edwards, but I'd like to see him do more of his own fighting back than have his wife do battle. (She's unbelievable.)

I think Hillary could handle the job and it would sure be great to have Bill as an ambassador to the world, but the Repugs would eat her alive.

I'm waiting until it's time to decide. Too much can happen, but I am leaning toward Obama because he is bringing in some enthusiastic young people and we'll need their help to win.
