Some surprising (for Dean supporters!) late survey results this morning in the Iowa Poll from the Des Moines Register:
Kerry, a U.S. senator from Massachusetts, leads the Iowa Poll with 26 percent of likely caucus participants naming him their first choice for the presidency. The poll, conducted Tuesday through Friday, also showed him gaining strength as the week wore on.
Edwards, a North Carolina senator who was in single digits in an Iowa Poll taken two months ago, follows in second place at 23 percent – his highest finish in any media poll of Iowans.
Dean, the candidate who seemed to be in the driver’s seat as recently as two weeks ago with a key endorsement from Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, has slipped to third at 20 percent. But the former Vermont governor remains within striking distance of the lead in an unusually close race in which almost half of caucus-goers say they could still change their minds.
Dick Gephardt, the Missouri congressman who is counting on a strong finish with help from labor unions, has dropped to fourth place at 18 percent. Gephardt won the caucuses in 1988 before losing the nomination to Michael Dukakis.
The poll has a margin of error of four percentage points.
One reply on “All Eyes on Iowa”
Freedom is not free? PLEASE!!
Freedom is fostered only by LOVE and TRUST.
Bin Laden’s are not BORN, they are CREATED. Our environment during our childhood determines almost entirely what we grow up into,as adults.
Communities where children have secure childhoods are likely to have the LOWEST crime rates, while those where insecurity is prevalent are likely to find their crime rates ZOOMING UP (Refer to the GUN VIOLENCE in America)
So yes, freedom is not free, but in order to be safe, one needs PATIENCE and TRUST, not FORCE.
As Gandhiji said, if a person slaps you, simply show him the other cheek. A person can hit you once, twice, thrice, but no more. There is a human hidden inside even the worst of monsters. By responding with a bigger slap, you are only making him more insecure, angry and frustrated, and hence he is DOUBLY likely to hit you back with even more force. Even if you manage to kill that person, his relatives, or people close to him, will obviously try to seek revenge. So as such, there is no end to a war, ANY kind of war.
This cycle of violence goes on, and on, and on.
