Rep. Kucinich of Ohio just said on MSNBC that if he hears from the early estimates this afternoon that he is not getting 15% that he will throw his Iowa support to US Senator John Edwards of North Carolina.

He did not comment about if he was dropping out of the race or not.

It looks like Kucinich is trying to play a kingmaker here by way of a last minute endorsement.

Eh, who knows? Maybe Edwards is the only one who answered his calls.

Goodbye, Dr. Dean...

Most of the Kucinich caucus-goers would probably have gone to Dean after Dennis the Menace was determined "non viable" in the first round.

I expect Dean to do no better than 3rd tonite... maybe even 4th.

Dennis is a loon, one has to wonder if Edwards would consider this a good thing.

So I take it that Rep. Kucinich was not polling near 15% percent in Iowa before he made his endorsement from the mountaintop?

Kucinich is a loser, and such a liberal wackjob America hater that he and his whole staff, inlusing Jeff Cohen, ought to be deported, not running for president.

Well, Grandfather Twilight and the woodland creatures of Iowa should push Edwards over the top.

I can't understand this; how will his flakes now support Edwards, and not Dean?

I suspect the total Iowa Kucinich caucus-goers consisted of two mental patients and a demented squirrel.

Dennis the Menace was polling at 4% in Iowa... not much, but it could be the difference between 1st and 3rd in this tight caucus.
