Kucinich in surprise move to the Right:

The arcane rules of the Iowa caucus require a candidate to receive 15 percent of the vote at a given caucus location in order to qualify for delegates. After the first round of voting, supporters of candidates who are not “viable” can choose their second, top tier choice. In ’04 Kucinich urged his supporters, in a surprising move, to back John Edwards, helping to boost his margin in liberal areas. Edwards has moved to the left since then, yet this time Kucinich went with Obama.

P.S. I don’t know who thinks the Iowa caucus rules are “arcane.” I rather like them. They’re half a step closer to preferential voting than New Hampshire. Speaking of which, would you like to see the primaries stay the way they are in terms of order…or have something like a rotational method for which State goes first ?
