11. Fastest way to know: Keep checking THIS link
http://m.dmregister.com/

They have said they will announce FIRST with a text message link. On another page they also tell you how to access all text message links - it's the address above that works on all browsers and not just mobile browsers.

16. Toss up betw Biden, Edwards, and Obama. Tough one.
Biden is the most experienced, incredibly authentic, the best debater, and a leader on Iraq and foreign affairs. Probably the best at bringing around repubs to get things done. He's my perdonal pick.

Edwards has been living in Iowa for four years and has made a great study of poverty and economic hardship in the U.S.

Obama is incredibly talented and would set a great precendent, and a superficial positive symbol to the rest of the world, though he lacks the track-record of others, his "outsider" identity might appeal to people.

Of course, all three of these candidates essentially believe the same thing. The Register might want to pick Biden because he's been the most unjustly overlooked (besides Dodd) candidate to elevate him to the first tier, without taking sides between the front-runners. Biden also has the least amount of money out of the top six. I dunno...
