In an interview with Foxnews, David Yepsen is also signaling Iowans desire for Obama vs. Clinton. And he also gave voice to a thought I'd had about Richardson's quiet steady rise there..

But right now, fresh face is starting to outweigh experience. Too many Democrats think she (Clinton) has too many negatives, too many polarizing things in her past. They don’t want to go back to the past."

Yepsen doesn’t see Clinton falling here. "I see Clinton as flat."


""I think Barack Obama can be thankful for his good organization," Yepsen said. "I think he's probably got one of the best. I think he can be thankful his message is starting to click a little bit. People are — Democrats want to see some change. And, I think they like what he's saying about that. So, I think he can be thankful for both of those things."

What about Hillary Clinton?

Yepsen: "I think if you're Hillary Clinton, you're thankful for your husband. Because it's like having another candidate here for you. He gets crowds just as big, brings out new people. They can put him in other — in certain areas and put her in another area. So, I think he's her biggest asset in the Democratic caucus fight here."

And John Edwards?

Yepsen: "I think if you're John Edwards, you're thankful this is going to be over with on January third. John Edwards has not been doing well lately, he's slipping a little in these numbers. That's not a good trend line for him. He's got to get this thing over with fast."

Yepsen said he fears Edwards could fall so far that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, currently running fourth, could slip into third place — and would therefore be most thankful for that.

"I think one of the things that could happen is that Edwards could collapse, sag, fall apart, not do well," Yepsen said. "And that leaves Richardson in real striking distance of third place. Richardson has run a good campaign. He’s got some support here. If I were Edwards I’d be worried about sagging so far it could enable Richardson to take third place."
