[George W. Bush]

Didn't President Hart win Iowa? heh heh :) As did President Gephardt ('88) and President Dole ('88).

And Bush beat Reagan in '80. Clinton got 4% in Iowa in '92 and only took a second in New Hampshire.

Dean's far from dead. But I am very surprised that Dean didn't break 25%. And Gephart isn't going to hit 15%. A real shock for people like me who count organization as everything.

I think Iowa is a fluke. Dean is still the frontrunner but he's vulnerable now.

Howie just claimed that Carter endorsed him.

He is such a natural liar, I can't see how he lost a Democrat primary.

Not enough liberal university towns in Iowa.

Carter, in the Atlanta papers today, SPECIFALLY said he did NOT endorse Dean.

Further, Carter explicitly (on the record!) said that Dean did NOT get invited to "attend church" with the Carters, but that Deam "invited himself" to go to the church with the Carters.

He (Carter) was "not happy" with Dean taking advantage of the photographers and press..... But that is reading betweenthe lines.
