I've been talking to a lot of Democrats who regularly attend caucuses (not just regular general-election voters) in Des Moines and its suburbs. I think many of these people would fall into the "liberal-elite" category. The support for Clinton is just not there. A huge number are undecided, and mostly undecided between other candidates. An answer I hear a lot is, "I don't know--not Hillary, I know that."
I am finding a lot of Edwards supporters and Obama supporters, but among that liberal elite crowd even Richardson seems to generate more interest than Hillary.
The low-information voters are generally not going to show up for the Iowa caucuses.
desmoinesdem, Is it your opinion that Edwards is a lock for Iowa? Or is it too early to tell?
