Iowa = Reality check for some
Wow - This has been the most interesting primary year I think I have ever been a part of. We got an up close look at how the Iowa caucus works - I wish I could have been there just to watch! The outcome was a real reality check for some - Dean was back in New Hampshire telling us this morning that New Hampshire has a history of rooting for the underdog - of course he might say that now that he is the underdog! The people I am listening to are talking as though they expected this and are actually changing their votes!
Even with the playing field shrinking by at least one candidate it is clear that the pressure is on here in New Hampshire! I could hardly make my way through downtown Manchester this morning with all the TV crews and buses and people with signs! The biggest group I saw at one given time was those with Gephardt signs! Go figure. Now that all the Gephardt supporters are among the "undecided" I bet there are (bigger) phone banks going up in every other camp trying to get those votes!
I am less undecided than I was a week or two ago - and I am looking forward to the next week to see what I can see and hear what I can hear.
