Maybe it just isn't being reported that much, but it seems like none of the candidates care about it nor do any of the polling firms. On January 14th, it's still the first state to award delegates, right? While New Hampshire, Super Tuesday, and all that are huge battlegrounds for delegates, the Iowa Caucuses always seems to really decide the undecided vote.
I remember in 2003/04 everybody I knew couldn't decide if Wesley Clark or Howard Dean was the better candidate then the Iowa Caucuses happened and after that is was "well I was going to vote for Clark or Dean, but Iowa did select Kerry and Edwards a lot and they seem like good people." And while Edwards victories in the Carolinas might've happened either way, do you really think Kerry would've gotten all those votes in Georgia, South Carolina, New Hampshire, etc. without Iowa?
