Reply #4: Well, Iowa has a way of not going according to polls,

[Lydia Leftcoast]

so I'm willing to wait and see.

Having gone door to door for Kucinich in Iowa, I KNEW that Dean wouldn't win. There was no sign of support for him. But I thought, judging by the yard signs, that Edwards would win. There was little evidence of support of support for Kerry, so I was surprised when he won.

The Iowa caucuses were largely ignored until 1988, when the Pat Robertson won on the Republican side. That was such an unexpected outcome that the news media have focused on Iowa ever since then.
