As in corn. An Iowa poll offers up some interesting news for 2008. John Edwards who has been missing in action for two years, led the field. It's possible he's been working behind the scenes around the country to bring this about, frankly, noone's been paying much attention to him. But then, I doubt many will when people get serious about 08, either. But it does suggest Dems don't like what they're seeing in their most visible politicians anymore than do some Republicans.
As for John Kerry, who finished a weak third in the poll, not only was he stalked in the Iowa poll, he's being roasted and husked here and here, via Kesler and Lipscomb.
here -- Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina leads a list of potential Democratic presidential candidates while Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack holds fourth place, trailing Edwards by 20 points in an early test of support among likely Iowa caucus participants.
A new Iowa Poll conducted for The Des Moines Register shows that Edwards, the runner-up in the Iowa Democratic caucuses two years ago and a frequent visitor to the state since then, is the choice of 30 percent of Iowans who say they are likely to take part in the January 2008 caucuses.
U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York follows on Edwards' heels with 26 percent in the Iowa Poll.
Experts say it's the first poll showing anyone besides Clinton as the preferred Democrat in the race for the White House.
U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, who used his victory in the 2004 caucuses as a springboard to the Democratic presidential nomination that year, is a distant third in the Iowa Poll with 12 percent.
