Can Biden Defy the Iowa Odds?

[book_worm]

"The people that came out of here are going to be the ones that beat the expectations that the media sets, it could be four people, it could be three people," Biden told Time on Monday. "The plain old politician in my finger tips tells me that we're going to do well."

"Well", in his case, would be for Biden to come in fourth behind the frontrunning pack of Clinton, Obama and Edwards, adn lately it seems that he may have a real shot. For Iowasn looking for an experienced candidate, Biden arguably has the longest and most distinguished resume in the field. And it is on that strength that he is drawing surprising support in pockets across Iowa, particularly in the eastern cities like Dubuque and Cedar Rapids, as well as in rural areas he's giving Edwards a run for his money..."
