Obama will edge Hillary based on Richardson and Biden 2nd choices.

None of this is "verified," just a speculative overview of stuff flying around the internets... a synthesis of snippets of reality and rumour. Factoids and rumours of factoids.

Hillary's ground game edges Obama... she may well have the raw lead (without reallocation of unviables). Shockingly high turnout, with Obama getting a lot of young and independent, but Hillary getting just as many, or EVEN MORE, new elderly, female and mainline Dems.

Edwards toast, unfortunately.

Entrance polls in 2004 were pretty darn accurate.

Biden knows Hillary will pick Richard Holbroke for Sec State, so he wants Obama as his best shot at his dream job.

Richardson don't want the campaign to end in Iowa, so he wants Obama to string things out.

The guided second choice picks of those two candidates will provide Obama the needed edge. (mere prediction)

2. Speaking too soon is half the fun! (If Hill pulls it out I'll be impressed and pleased)

4. Props To HRC To Get Elderly Women To Come Out On A Cold Night To Caucus For Her

That shows she has touched something real...

You should see my eighty nine year old mom...She's so protective of Hillary...

5. I was at the DMV yesterday and a tiny old lady

had a rhinstone donkey pin in her hat ( we were in line). I said "Is that a Democratic donkey?"
She reached out and held my hand and said " Oh yes.. go Hillary.. I just love her".
We joked and had a blast. I told her the joke I read on DU about .. I'll hug your elephant and you can kiss my ass... she was a pip.
