Wow, big shakeup in the numbers. The Dodd boomlet is over, as people start focusing on the candidates most seen as serious contenders. His 14 points drop is almost entirely made up by Edwards and -- more dramatically -- Obama. There's no doubt Obama is surging in Iowa and elsewhere. Is this increase in support a sign that people are rallying around him as the "anti-Clinton"?

Kucinich got a boost because some people apparently like scolds, or perhaps they live vicariously through him? Yeah, I'm definitely guilty of not getting his supporters.

But most dramatically, Richardson has now dropped below the "Joe Biden line" for the first time ever. He shone for a while, seemed poised for a breakthrough to the top tier at one point, but alas, his star has dimmed here as it has in the real world.
