This is interesting.  30 economists endorse Edwards.  It's interesting to me because Edwards is the only top tier candidate of either party to oppose the Peru FTA.  And he's the most populist of the top tier. 

I don't a lot of the economists on the list, but I didn't think academia tended to endorse primary candidates.  Maybe I'm wrong.  They are promoted as the "nation's leading economists." 

[Most economists I see quoted in the business press are whores.  Or part of a leper colony of economic misfits.  Remember, you need no certification to be an economist, and you cannot be disbarred.  You can just pronounce, "I am an economist."]

Iowa votes tomorrow.  The Des Moines Register has Obama ahead, and predicts a record caucus turnout.  Other polls show Clinton just ahead.  Polling for caucuses is really hard, and Iowans are getting a dozen calls a night.

We'll know more tomorrow night.
