Default Handicapping Iowa...

I have no problems with any of the Democratic frontrunners winning the
nomination. I've always liked Mrs. Clinton, I think Obama is aces, and I
think Edwards' heart is in precisely the right place.



I noticed something this morning that surprised me. I realize that
politicians are .... well, politicians, but this was still surprising and it
makes me wonder what is really going on:

Yesterday I watched Biden and Dodd being interviewed. Both recognized and
acknowledged their respective slim chances in Iowa, but hoped for the best.
Dodd in particular indicated that beyond Iowa he expected support for him to
surge later in the primary season and was confident of his chances.

After the first "contest" both folded and went home. What gives?

They read the handwriting on the wall. I really like Biden, by the way,
but I never thought he had a chance. Dodd is articulate, but he's never
gotten anywhere as a national pol. Maybe it is the ghost of his father
hanging over him.
