CBS/NYT poll doesn't know squat about how the caucuses work

Second Choice

On the night of the Iowa caucuses, a candidate usually needs to meet a 15% threshold of attendees in a local caucus to be eligible for delegates. If a candidate does not meet that threshold, those supporters will then have to realign themselves at the caucus; either with another candidate or an uncommitted group.

Richardson, Biden, Dodd, Kucinich and Gravel have the backing of fewer than 15% of likely caucus-goers statewide. Among those candidates’ supporters combined, 30% choose Edwards as their second choice, 27% pick Obama, while only 14% choose Clinton.

Obama 27
Clinton 14

Glad to know that if my candidate of choice is non-viable (and accroding to this poll question Clinton/Obama/Edwards will be viable in every precinct)I have no other option but to go to Clinton/Edwards/Obama for my second choice.
