What Second Tier Candidate supporters have not realized about Iowa. They may get 0% statewide.
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 10:09 AM by Perky
In order to get just % on the state wide count, You have to break 15% in each of 120 out of the 1800 precincts statewide.

To get to double digits you have to get more than 15% in 67% of the precincts statewide.

That might be doable in a four candidate race, but with Biden, Richardson. Dodd and Kucinich in the mix, there are just too many candidates to gain even 1% statewide. That's the math.


It sux, but I don't think it is possible for anyone in the second tier to get any votes at the end of the day,
