Remember "early polls don't matter"? Now December is almost gone, and guess what? Turns out they really didn't matter. The caucus is days away and it's a three-way deadlock.
This situation is unprecidented in modern American Presidential politics. "Forget the pundits" is good advice in any year, but today we're on uncharted territory. No one knows what will happen from here on out. That applies especialy to America's phalanx of pablumatic pundits. So what's a good Kossack to do?
Politcal historians can expain why a three-way deadlock is so rare. Too bad you will have to settle for wild armchair speculation: each is being held back by a major perceived flaw. Senator Obama is seen as untested, Senator Edwards as a one-note candidate, and Senator Clinton as divisive.
Many voters only now consider Senator Biden a real alternative to the Look-Great/Less-Filling Top Three. Where can they go to learn more? Give them a break. Please reccomend this pro-Biden summary, & please visit Barry Welsh's diary. The button is right over there =====>
