Dubuque’s Got the ‘Joe Mo’!

[PatSeg]

From Jonathan Alter of Newsweek:

Second-tier candidates often get a second wind. Jerry Brown beat Jimmy Carter in a slew of late primaries in 1976, and threw a little scare into Bill Clinton by winning Connecticut in 1992. The most plausible long shot this time is Biden, who has done well (and controlled his mouth) in recent debates and generated a trace of "Joe Mo" in Dubuque and a few other pockets in Iowa. His problem is organization. Dodd has twice as many paid staffers on the ground as Biden, though he hasn't connected as well on the stump. Richardson's recent TV ads didn't light a fuse. But should one of them score in the Dec. 13 Des Moines Register debate (or, better yet, win the paper's endorsement), he could break the 15 percent "viability" threshold in enough caucuses to stay in the race.

1. Great Comment

Every time I see Jonathan Alter, he has less and less hair. It's like a barometer.

3. Kinda catchy

People like Alter "write" about Biden, but rarely mention them on TV.

12. I'd love to see him place in the top 3 in Iowa

Edwards
Obama
Biden


That would pretty much be the end of Ms. Inevitable.

16. It was only a matter of time.

I was hoping to avoid that term. Except for the "mentum" part.
