I Am Nervous About Tomorrow...

The Iowa caucus is tomorrow, and frankly, I am nervous. Honestly, I really don't want Senator Clinton to win.

If I could pick, this is the order I'd like to see in the top three:

1. Kucinich
2. Obama
3. Edwards

Also, I'm not sure if you knew this, but apparently in Iowa, people can vote for a second candidate, and if their first candidate doesn't get enough votes in that area (15%), then their second vote gets cast instead of their first. I was pretty happy when I read this (source):

For Immediate Release — Tuesday, January 01, 2008

DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic Presidential candidate and Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich opened the New Year by publicly asking his Iowa supporters to vote for him in the caucuses this Thursday and suggesting that if he did not make the 15% threshold, their second ballot should be for Sen. Barack Obama. "This is obviously an 'Iowa-only' recommendation, as Sen. Obama and I are competing in the New Hampshire primary next Tuesday, where I want to be the first choice of New Hampshire voters.

"I hope Iowans will caucus for me as their first choice this Thursday, because of my singular positions on the war, on health care and trade. This is an opportunity for people to stand up for themselves. But in those caucus locations where my support doesn't reach the necessary threshold, I strongly encourage all of my supporters to make Barack Obama their second choice. Sen. Obama and I have one thing in common: change."

Also be nervous because its a bunch of antiquated Jackassery with no real results that decides way more than it should. What else exists in the world --besides corn-- that we should trust the people of Iowa to decide for us?? Absolutely nothing.
