New Hampshire is not going to decide very much IMO
I believe that the ObamaPhenomenon is going to be a very robust media circus for a few weeks and then the next story line is going to need to be developed. Hillary was a storyline, Rudy was a storyline, Mitt is a funny storyline, but none of them were the real deal.

Obama may survive the circus and develop a genuine platform, or he may not.

I realize I'm biased towards Edwards but the fact the media has shut him out, refusing to cover his message, tells me that there's no storyline there, no circus, just a plain, stark reality. I think McCain has a similar characteristic. I do believe that the race will be Edwards V McCain.

3. I think he means "what state will Edwards win?"
I have the same worry...I thought Iowa was the state where he had the best chance to come in 1st. Now with Obama's big win in Iowa and the bump (however big or small) he gets from it, I don't see how Edwards can break through. I'm holding out for miracle, of course, and I donated to Edwards again yesterday, but I have to admit that the wind is a little out of my sails...

4. Well, since everything is packed together, if Obama wins NH he will be hard to stop. nt

5. I honestly think this will go all the way till Super Tuesday
with Obama, Edwards, and Clinton..
It will be interesting to see the media coverage because there will be a couple weeks of scrutiny for all.
