I never thought Kerry had much of a chance in Iowa. I figured he'd put up a good fight in New Hampshire and them slowly fade away. But, if he wins in Iowa and gets a boost in New Hampshire as a result of it, he just might be able to win this nomination after all.

Oddly, Kerry's numbers have been dropping in New Hampshire for a while with Wesley Clark moving into a clear second place behind Howard Dean.

My take is that Dean's temper tantrum, shoot from the hip, raise taxes for all, negative campaigning style has convinced many Democrats that he's a disaster waiting to happen in November.

the only democrat that will even remotely appeal to the masses is wesly clark, either way though, im pretty sure its four more years for w.

In November, and beyond.

He's been climbing up slowly, and seems to be siphoning votes away from both Dean and Gephardt.

While he's run a crappy campaign until the last couple weeks, he's still the best shot the Dems have to win next fall (though not much of a shot at that). But he needs a win here to carry through momentum to South Carolina, since he hasn't campaigned in New Hampshire. Probably won't happen, but he's impressively positioned himself for a VP nod and/or 2008 run.

And according to his Web site he's just been endorsed by Fred Hoiberg! What a coup!
