MSNBC/McClatchy Poll: Edwards has most 2nd choice support among 2nd tier candidates
If this pattern holds, he will win unless Hillary or Obama turn their people out in unexpected numbers.

http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/1230IowaPoll1230.html

The second tier is particularly important in Iowa's Democratic caucuses, where a candidate can win delegates only if they register at least 15 percent support in each town hall-like precinct meeting. Voters whose candidates don't make that threshold can support someone else.

As of now, that appears to help Edwards.

If all second-tier Democratic candidates fall short and their supporters switch to other candidates, Edwards gains the most, rolling up a clear lead at 33 percent to 26 percent each for Clinton and Obama.

1. polls also show that Edwards is already leading
the 2nd choice is like a bonus for him.
