Anyone talking about the Kucinich effect?

[jgraz]

How much did his supporters pump Obama's numbers?

[stray cat]

1. He registered beneath Biden's one percent - so not much

[stillcool]

2. I think the poster is referring...

to Kucinich's request that his supporters go for Obama?

[Greeby]

7. Err, the percentage is based on counties won nt

[seriousstan]

3. Yes, people who are looking for irrational reasons to ignore the results.

I believe his supporters had the same effect as pissing in the ocean......any ocean..take your pick.

[John Q. Citizen]

9. And you believe DK's and Richardson's second ballot voters had that effect

because........????????????

Oh, yeah, nobody asked for an INFORMED opinion.


So instead we get a cornpone 'pinion.

Thanks for sharing your magically derived beliefs with us. I'll share my belief with you.

I have no idea what impact the second ballot voters had on the outcome. And I won't have an opinion until I see some data.

[seriousstan]

12. Sorry, which ocean was yours that I must have pissed in?

Where are you going to get those first and second ballot outcomes? You have some source? Or are you just going to have no opinion, other than other's opinions are wrong?

4. kucinich...

kucinich & richardson supporters, apparently.

i'd like to know too.

interesting back-room stuff.

5. Kucinich and Biden's

people went for Obama, I think.

[Kahuna]

6. Less than 1% because that is all he was polling.

:shrug:

[Quixote1818]

13. That's what I was going to say. nt

8. This Was a Brilliant Play Against Hillary

If the lower 3 candidates can stay in the race and collect delegates among the anti-Hillary crowd, we could still have a race by the time we get to Oregan.

10. Considering he was pretty much shut out of Iowa debates

I don't think he had much support to throw to Obama. I wonder how many Iowans even knew who Dennis was. Now that I think about it, Dennis knew that. I think he was sending a message to Edwards about that little conversation Hillary and he had about eliminating the fringe candidates a few months back. Kooch knew it wouldn't hurt Edwards to endorse Obama, but it would make Edwards take notice.

11. Maybe some fraction of 1%.
