Count the ways caucus went wrong



"Kucinich, like Dean, has campaigned primarily on having opposed the Iraq war. All the other Iowa front-runners supported it. Despite the Iowa caucuses' reputation for being a thoughtful, deliberative process in which people talk and change each other's minds, there was almost no deliberation or discussion. Kucinich supporters and undecideds followed Edwards after hearing only a cursory reading of a few Edwards positions from a campaign brochure. Apparently Kucinich's competitiveness toward Dean overrides even his core message."
