New Post Iowa Poll - very much worth checking out

If you need your daily dose of Presidential news the Washington Post has offered up both a very interesting new IA poll of Democrats, accompanied by an excellent analysis of the process of the Caucus itself. I strongly recommend it. And while it shows that essentially Iowa is still way too close to call, Obama's lead remains - in their polling - at 4 points.

I recommend the article because it does a very good job at explaining how the arcane Iowa Caucus process works, and all the strategic calculations that go into managing a campaign there. I was part of the Dukakis caucus operation 20 years ago, and know first hand how complicated and unpredictable it is. At this point it sure looks like we will only know the outcome late in the night on January 3rd.
