A good showing in Iowa, even a win, won't save Edwards nationally. Also Edwards has put more effort in Iowa than any of the candidates. If he loses there he is really over.
I've got a theory about the Edwards candidacy, but it's very much politically IN-correct, so I don't know if I should blurt it out for fear of invoking the wrath of the Admin Moderator.
But within the realm of socially acceptable discourse, if Edwards could win Iowa, and then somehow build on that to win South Carolina, then he would definitely have some momentum.

But a second place win for Hildabeast instead of a third place in Iowa would keep her in the race for NH. A third place for Hildabeast would be real trouble.
I don’t know why so many FReepers are dogging Edwards. If Edwards knocks Hildabeast to 3rd place in Iowa...thats a real good thing.
