That strategy worked for Lincoln in 1860. He was everyone’ second choice for President.

This is a SMART move on Obama's part. This is a caucus, not a primary. In the Dem rules, candidates not getting 15% at an individual caucus are eliminated, and those supporters can jump to a new candidate.
So, assume Clinton, Obama and Edwards typically meet the 15% threshold ... Dodd, Biden, Kucinich and maybe Richardson will not. Zero Kucinich supporters will go to Clinton. Asuming the Dodd and Biden supporters have to move simultaneously, they may go any number of ways. I don't see too many of them gravitating towards Clinton. Obama is wise to make the pitch, because it may make the difference between 1st and third. Of course, Edwards is making the same pitch. Clinton can't acknowledge that she could be a mere second choice.
