3857457, Does Edwards need to win Iowa to win the nomination?

His team is very optimistic about Iowa; it says Edwards has already won that caucus. But what if he doesn't? Would a strong runner-up performance in Iowa be sufficient to keep going? Obama, just by being in the race, has really been a thorn in Edwards' side much more than Clinton.

1. I have always thought Edwards will do very well in Iowa

and I believe it is pretty much necessary for him to win Iowa to get the nomination.

Last Sunday, Obama was in my town in the morning and Edwards was here in the afternoon. I know several people who saw both and are now convinced that Edwards has the substance and the passion to make the best president.
