What happens in Iowa?

[Epoch]

Greetings!
We all know that if Dean wins NH, Kerry drops out and if Dean wins IA, Geph drops out. Two questions: What does the possible upcoming endorsement of the SEIU for Dean mean in IA? And if Gephardt wins Iowa, what does this do to Dean's campaign? For us Deaniacs, this is a loss, but in the grand scheme of things, would most everyone else see this as a victory? (by the way, should Geph or Kerry lose, who do they endorse and why?)

Also, what about an third place finish for Edwards in IA and NH and then a first or second place in SC? Does this show him as a viable nominee?

Just asking questions, no flame bait intended!

With all that said : GO DEAN!

1. I Think Dean Loses Narrowly in IA

but it doesn't hurt him because of IA is portrayed as a Gephardt state.

Dean wins big in NH and the double-digit size of the victory helps him, not only vs Kerry but vs other candidates.

The next set of primaries I think may be mixed. But Dean is still the front-runner. Clark needs some early victories to stay as high as he is in the polls.

2. after feb 3

all i know is this...after Feb. 3rd. A candidate better have at least 2 wins under his belt if he wants to keep playing. Right now, I'd say Dean could do that even without IA. Gep maybe with IA and something. Maybe Clark also SC, OK.

Thats just my thoughts
