I think it's BS that candidates who don't achieve the 15% are telling

[napi21]

their supporters to back another candidate! I completely agree with Dodd who said on the Ed Schultz Show today that he is offended by that action! The voters are obliged to chose their OWN 2nd choice candidate!

I don't think we can even be SURE that the candidates themselves actually said this stuff! I think the Kicinich quote was actually verified, but there are several other statements floating out there now, and I know at least ONE OF THEM (Richardson) has been denied!

Think about it. Wouldn't that be a great way for a candidate to convince people in Iowa this afternoon that maybe they should just not waste their time on the lower polling candidate and join THEM early! I don't think any of the candidates themselves would do that, but I sure wouldn't put it past some supporters or staffers!

1. People can vote for whoever they want to and are under absolutely no

obligation to do anything the candidate or precinct captain (if there is one) or anyone else tell them to do. Individuals make their own choices.

2. The best thing that could happen would be

for those voters pawns to tell BOTH candidates to take a flying leap. That if they don't appreciate their vote they're going home.

3. I agree it smacks of vote

rigging. Please vote for this candidate, wink wink.

4. I Really Don't See What's Wrong With Any Candidate Saying Who .......

they would like their votes to go if they don't win. I would like that information to process in making up my mind as to who I would support if my candidate doesn't win. That tells me whom my candidate thinks is most closely aligned to their way of thinking. In fact I need to know who Hillary is suggesting to have us supporters vote for if she doesn't meet the 15% limit.
