As well, this will be crucial (and deadly against Bush) in the General Election should Dean win the Nomination.

ISU caucus poll: Dean leads with voters attending

With nearly 45 days until Iowa Democrats head to precinct caucuses, support for the leading candidates differs among those who say they'll attend, and those who say they'll stay home.
According to a poll conducted by Iowa State University, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean leads among people who "definitely" or "probably" will attend the Jan. 19 caucuses.
Dean was the first choice for 28.5 percent of those people, followed by Rep. Richard Gephardt, who had 20.9 percent. Sen. John Kerry placed third with 15.3 percent.
Among people who "might or might not" or "will not" attend the caucuses, roles are reversed. Gephardt was the non-attendees' first choice with 27.5 percent. Dean earned 22.1 percent of those respondents.
"What actually counts is people who show up," said Robert Lowry, an associate professor of political science who contributed to the study. "Remember, it's still two months off."

4. Perhaps you didn't actually READ the piece

which ISN'T surprising in the least.

But here ya go, I'll let you of one important line in the article:

"Pollsters telephoned 761 randomly-chosen registered Democrats between Nov.10 and Nov. 25."

Dean leading with folks who will actually get out and vote? You better BELIEVE that's REAL news.

5. That poll was conducted BY Iowa State Univ.

not upon the university population. That's the way it is in our small midwestern states: the universities and newspapers usually do the state-wide polling.

3. People somehow feel

that Geps people will be the one's who will show. They have been there before, they know what it's like. I am not sure if that's the case.
