It was just some loons on DU sore that Dean isnt doing well.
no basis in reality

[Howlin]

Well, young lady, I hope you're happy. I just spit salad ALL over my monitor!

OMG, that was so funny.

I'm standing in the southwest corner of my house in Ohio. Who did I just vote for?

You accidently voted for Buchanan....

[Simmy2.5]

True. However, winning Iowa isn't that big of a deal (maybe to Dean, but over all...). Granted, Kerry now has momentum. But Clark, who skipped Iowa to campaign in New Hampshire is still the person to beat (supposing a Dean implosion).

So, Kerry or Clark. Hmmmmm.

Edwards leads the women! According to some babble from Chris Matthews. They aren't voting from above the belt.

"Awright everybody...for the second round..all hands above the belt during tabulation by the calculator rocket scientist."

Dean may be toast. I really think he thought he had this one sewn up. Kerry taking the nomination does remove the McGovern factor a bit.

Yes, but if this pisses off the far, far left enough, they might stay home or vote Green. This could cost the Dems 2-3 additional Senate seats.

It depends; do you have a Palm Pilot?

[Dog]

What if Edwards pulls off a WIN?

[ambrose]

What a waste of time. When is the last time that the winner of Iowa went on to win New Hampshire?

[LisaFab]

Too too funny. Don't they have to have this all finished by 9:00 EST?

Clinton got 4% in Iowa, if I recall FNC's report earlier.

[Tuxedo]

Well, if either Kerry or Clark pull this out, then it will be interesting to watch the Klintoons submarine them.

Crap, you beat me by one post :)
