[Peace-discuss] K. again delivers his anti-war vote to the establishment

[Matt Reichel]

This is purely a matter of strategy particular to Iowa. If, in any individual caucus, your candidacy doesn't have 15% of the attendees behind you, your supporters must change allegiance or leave the room.

Another option is making a purely strategical arrangement with one of the other candidates wherein you agree to give up your delegates to each other in any case where one or the other doesn't reach the threshold.

There may be a few districts, probably in the university towns of Iowa City and Ames, where Dennis will outpace Obama, and resultantly gain Obama's votes in that caucus.
