What looks to be shaping up as possibly Edwards's most important advantage is that he tops the caucusgoers' second-choice lists, which could very well be the determining factor on Thursday night. In the Democratic caucus in Iowa, those candidates who do not reach 15 percent of support in each precinct are not deemed viable. Their supporters then have the option of going home or caucusing for one of the viable candidates. With only Obama, Clinton and Edwards likely to receive 15 percent in many precincts, Edwards could end up being as many as 40 percent of caucusgoers first choice by default, which could be enough to put him in second place ahead of Clinton but behind Obama.

Edwards is a great guy. So is Barack Obama. Either one would be fine. Hillary would not!

I do not know the answer to this but need to ask. A sitting president cannot be tried for civilian criminal charges during a time of war, this is fact i know. Does this same act also protect the Execctive branch also?

it's nice to see one of the front runners [my fav] with so little rath over religion or race or gender in here [COMPLIMENT TO ALL] just plain old discussion on the one you have hope with. he is a good man and the one true compitition for the GOP as he draws no ire for name,race,religion,gender, ie: no real threat till he is our one choice but still far better to EVERYONE than anyone from the GOP. wish for the best,hope for what you can get, and pray it stops there! Go Edwards
