Watch the Deal Making

The Iowa caucuses are in just seven days, so the big story in the Democratic presidential race, according to David Yepsen, is "what Bill Richardson, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd tell their people do to if they aren’t viable on caucus night."

"Viability. That’s the party rule that says for a candidate to qualify for any delegates in a precinct, he or she must get support from 15 percent of the total number of people at the caucus. Supporters of those candidates who don’t have 15 percent are required to realign with a candidate who does - or form a new group that meets the threshold - in a second round of voting."

"It’s why the actions of the single digit candidates are still important in the closing days of the campaign."
