5. Do you know any current poll numbers?

I know they usually tighten as it gets closer, and (normal) people start paying attention.

8. These are the latest numbers that I've seen

from NYT/CBS

"Clinton topped the survey with 25%, but she was trailed by Edwards at 23%, and Obama at 22%. With a margin of error of 4 percentage points, the race appears to be a statistical dead heat."

11. thanks for the numbers. I knew it was close

I guess I thought Biden would be in the top three. Perhaps as it gets closer he will move up.

6. Not a moment too soon

Jesus, this is dragging on.

7. Yes, it is going to seem a bit odd without all the door-to-door campaigning..

..and the ads and solicitations in the mail. They really pour the money into the letter campaigns. The best part is that they visit so many areas so many times, so you can actually be upfront and personal with them.

I talked with my granddaughter and her husband today. They are really looking forward to caucus night and are bound and determined to participate. That was great to hear. They are running scared that there will be a serious recession and are feeling the pinch, with two small children and the possibility the father may be laid off after Christmas. Not a comfortable place to be sitting.
