According to a New MSNBC Iowa Poll, Second Choicers Poised to Break for Edwards

    A new MSNBC Iowa poll, if accurate, contains a new development. In the Democratic race, the three top contenders are virtually even, according to the poll. But, when the second choices of Kucinich, Biden, Dodd, and Richardson voters are factored in -- and these are the candidates unlikely to reach the 15% threshhold virtually anywhere -- Edwards jumps to a ten-point lead -- 36% to 26% for the other two.
    Again, if accurate, this is hugely significant, since it more clearly reflects what may happen Thursday night at the caucuses than just head-to-head polls.
