Underreported Political Item of the Day

Yesterday, Cleveland's own Dennis Kucinich put out the word to his troops that if he does not survive the 15% threshhold in Iowa on Thursday, he would appreciate it if his supporters jump to the Obama camp.

The way the Dem side runs their show in Iowa, if candidates don't meet a 15% level of support within a caucus, their people are up for grabs again and can play for another team. (The Republicans, not known for public displays of playing for the other team, don't do it this way.)


So while, by definition, this cannot create massive change in the results, the race is tight enough that this could end up being materially-important for Barack.


Way to go, Dennis!
