Last night I predicted John Edwards would be victorious in Iowa today. What I largely disregarded was the 15 percent threshold required to advance past a first round of voting under the arcane procedures.
While Kucinich, Biden and Richardson’s support individually may not even hit the radar, on a second round of voting could crown Barack Obama victor. Tuesday, Kucinich told his supporters to move to Obama if he is unable to make the 15% threshold in any precinct (in reality, nearly every precinct).
Today though, we learn the Iowa Independent reports that Bill Richardson will send his supporters to Obama as well. We went on to learn the same thing about Joe Biden.
Of course, everyone is essentially saying “move along; nothing to see here.”
Let’s see what happens; it should be fun!
