Many Democrats Still Undecided, Iowa's Harkin Says

Good news for Richardson and Biden. Harkin was actually quite surprised that so many Democrats are still undecided. Could it be that more Dems are undecided, than the polls reflect?

6. By the time the primary comes our way, there will probably be just two or
maybe three from which to choose. I have faith you'll make up your mind by then! :hi:

2. I've read posts by at least four different people here in the past 24 hours
who have JUST decided. And posts from people who are still deciding.

4. I love this quote from Harkin:
Many might look at the second-tier candidates "and say, 'I wish they were higher up,' " he said. "I hear no negatives about Dodd or Biden."

5. Great respect for Harkin
I have great respect for this man....it goes back a very long way. I've shook his hand and talked to him many times over the years.....

But in response to the surprise of so many undecideds I only have one word...."duh"

I've been saying there are many more undecideds than being reported for along time. I am not surprised people are finally figuring this out....

7. David Shuster predicted, today, that Edwards will win Iowa. He said
this:

DAVID SHUSTER: I'm gonna say that John Edwards is gonna win out in Iowa, but Hillary Clinton is going to pick up some steam afterwards and get the nomination. I think Mike Huckabee wins Iowa pretty cleanly and goes on to get the Republican nomination. Here's my big prediction, though: if it is Hillary Clinton against Mike Huckabee, Mike Huckabee will the the next President of the United States.
