"And by my own definition, having nothing better to do then run to Iowa to campaign on behalf of multimillionaire/dirty trial lawyer John Edwards does in fact make you a loser kid."

(That even includes the brown ones, the gay ones, the baby ones, the old ones, the female ones, and the trying-to-make-ends-meet ones.) Perhaps if your party didn't insist on snubbing those REAL Americans it might have a chance at 2K8. As it stands, your party mostly cares about only the wealthy Americans (who are also REAL Americans) and is slowly freaking out about it's alliance with the bigoted Americans (who are also REAL Americans). REAL America is a diverse and beautiful place. I don't see what phonies like you and yours have to offer REAL Americans. Last I checked, Americans are all REAL Americans.

I guess those "top tier" law jerks that are ruining the country attract wannabee top tier law jerks too! You people have been in the Northeast too long to get a feel for what REAL America is like.

He has not voted for a Democrat, at least, since Reagan appeared. Really glad to find out there are no out of state influences on the Republican side. :) Why would anyone fret over a comment by Herodotus on the Democratic primary in Iowa.

I got to drive around in Seneca, South Carolina over the holidays, and it's come a long way, also. It's not just the sleepy little textile town any more.

I'm not sure by what stretch of the imagination a young man in a top tier law program on a full ride should ever be called a "loser kid." Of course, I understand your time is probably better spent not enlisting and being the resident concern troll on DMKY.

I'm wondering what a "close" finish will produce. The contributions are obviously going to pour into a strong winner but will a percentage point or 2 be that much of a factor? I'm predicting an Edwards, Obama and then Clinton finish but who knows? Iowa is such an unpredictable beast. Edward's announcement of a 10 month withdraw from Iraq MAY make a huge difference considering there are very few pro-war folks out there and people are tired of the profiteering and propaganda. His take on lobbyist may help too. I think you'll see a working man turn out in 08 considering they've been promised so much and have only seen a reverse Robin Hood administration. You may agree or disagree with that assessment but it should be obvious that the working class feel short changed to say the least. We'll see. I do agree with you that it's disturbing that a small fraction can set the stage but what would you suggest to fix that? Interesting observation Herodotus.

However, I don't feel that will be enough. Looks like Obama will edge Clinton, Edwards will be a close third and NOTHING will be settled. It's a shame so much importance is put on Iowa that so many non-Iowains come to influence the election. I'd be pissed if some loser kid from Iowa came and tried to convince me how I should vote in Kentucky. Hopefully the feeling is mutual there.

In the Democratic caucuas system, the goers pick first and second choices, Edwards has the highest numbers of goers with experience and he's got a very high number with those who are picking him second! Go John! Excellent article, thanks for writing about the old er woman! does the old heart good to hear it! From what I understand, Edwards has a very good chance of coming in first, and here’s why.
