Votes, Shouts and Primal Screams

Posted by John V. Kjellman January 3, 2008 08:24 AM

It's down to voting, and horse trading of votes for the Dems, shouts, and perhaps a primal scream or two (or not) in Iowa. For Senator Biden, it all gets down to what Time used as a title to a story on him yesterday on it's website (http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1699170,00.html), "Can Biden Defy the Iowa Odds?"

According to stories coming out of Iowa, many initiated by the Biden campaign itself, but some corroborated by journalists reporting from Iowa, Biden has been finding pockets of real support in rural Iowa. The big question is, when voting starts, will Biden supporters have the fifteen percent of the votes needed to pickup more votes from the other also-rans, or will Biden supporters be the ones giving up their votes to other candidates? There is a history of come-from-behind surges in Iowa. Tomorrow we will know. The results will obviously affect voting here in N.H. next week.

About Primary voices The Boston Globe asked Democrats, Republicans and independents in three communities to blog for us as they decide who will get their vote in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary. The Democrats are from Henniker, the Republicans from Kingston and the independents are from Nashua.
