I left LA in part because of the gangs. My comment on Iowa last night was "Now we have a Horse Race!" Bob Moran at NRO agrees. "The Democratic party's primary system is not winner-take-all, like the GOP's...John Kerry did not win all of Iowa's convention delegates Monday night. He won approximately 38 percent of its delegates. This means that if we were to see the results in Iowa replicated in each and every upcoming primary contest...there would be no nominee with the delegates to lay claim to the nomination. Democratic presidential wannabes would then begin to wheel and deal and seek support from the roughly 800 Democratic super-delegates and from each other....The story is not that Gephardt was crushed and is shuffling off to the dustbin of history. The story is not that Kerry or Edwards did so well in a caucus that is a poor predictor of future success. The story is that Dean fumbled his chance to run the tables quickly and is now forced to use his money to defeat his opponents in a more protracted fight...Dean and many of the pundits marched off to battle thinking the war would be short. They were...painfully wrong. They're headed for a brutal war of attrition."
