oops. missed your posting.

Sullivan has some good comments on Iowa:

HOW VIABLE IS KERRY? I'm still unpersuaded by John Kerry, although it seems his campaigning has improved markedly. For me, the big winner is Edwards. He's always struck me as a Tony Blair figure - telegenic, personally appealing, centrist. His speech was the best of the bunch last night - and he exudes decency. That's enormously important against Bush because the president's most under-rated political virtue is his general likeability. If Edwards can pick off even a couple of Southern states, he has a critical advantage over his rivals. National security is obviously a huge problem. Maybe he can find a way to innoculate himself on the issue. How does a Kerry-Edwards or Edwards-Kerry ticket sound? In a word: Credible. The Dems don't want to commit suicide after all. For the record, I'd back Edwards against any of the others currently running.

I am not surprised to see Edwards doing well. A long campaign will bring good campaigners to the fore, and Edwards is a good campaigner. I am surprised to see Kerry doing well, and attribute it to Michael Houley, following Saletan's tip. As for Howlin' How, it seems we're having buyers remorse early this year.
