However SS, this close race in Iowa has already proved one thing: Hillary is not "the inevitable candidate." If Obama gets more votes that Hillary in Iowa, then that would provide the spark for NH Independents to come out and vote for Obama.

Edwards is okay if he's a very strong second, but it must be a very strong second, like a virtual tie. And it is very unlikely Edwards will finish a weak third, which would probably knock him out. Edwards has major mo-mo and tons of support in Iowa and elsewhere. If Hillary falls he may become the "party's" choice. Because remember,if Obama wins it will only be because of independents, like McCain in New Hampshire, and may not translate to future primaries. I still predict Edwards will win or tie for the lead in Iowa. Just watch. I have a gut feeling about the Iowan people and Edwards ability to close strong, especially in the small towns which count as much as big ones in Iowa.
