The Iowa rumor mill had been abuzz on Sunday and Monday about a deal between Kucinich and John Edwards' camp that essentially gave Edwards Kucinich's supporters in caucus locales where they were needed to bump Edwards up to the necessary 15 percent threshold to receive delegates.

Dean's people, playing up the candidate's antiwar position, were attempting to swing a similar deal with Kucinich but with a sweeter pot than Edwards could offer -- future roles for the congressman in a Dean general election and administration.

Kucinich's folks were apparently cool to the idea, because as of two hours prior to the start of the caucuses, Edwards and Kucinich staffers were still talking.
