The talking heads are concluding that the Edwards campaign is over - projecting the Iowa results and saying that he bet everything on Iowa, lost and is out of funds. While, or probably since, I think of Edwards as the most dangerous candidate, this isn't too disappointing to me. However, never underestimate the wealth of the trial lawyer community. After all, they have bankrupted over 50 companies with asbestos claims. Throwing in a couple of hundred mil wouldn't be a challenge for that crowd....

CNN has called Iowa for Obama and Huckabee. Thereby the Iowans have selected the two least qualified candidates running. Let's hope that the election isn't over by the time NH is in, so that some states with larger populations get a chance to weigh in.

The tragedy in Pakistan seems to have shaken up U.S. politics a bit. Eager to show their foreign policy chops, several candidates have tripped. Joe Biden- the most knowledgeable of the crowd, doesn't seem to have figured out a way to benefit. But on the Republican side, both Thompson and McCain appear to have captured a little momentum . I don't know about you - but I wish the Iowa results were tomorrow- it has gotten tiresome - actually I wish Iowa and New Hampshire were both over - we need to see where some of the larger pop states stand.
