and be at the mid February with all the dust settled and a pretty good idea of how the rest of the primaries will play out.

If I lean anywhere it is towards Edwards - but that is not for the experience (his is but more than Obama and Clinton's) but for his 'fight'. But I don't see how he has the money to keep going unless Hillary or Obama flames out (which I just don't see happening at this moment). Plus - TPM raised a question on Friday - the FEC essentially has just stopped functioning due to Senate Confirmation slowdowns that started when bushco nominated one of the corrupted DOJers (who helped f*ckup the civil rights division) as one of the chairs- and the dems refused and in protest McConnell pulled off the table *any* discussion of replacing the two vacant (of four) chairs. So the question raised - is what happens to the distribution of federal campaign dollars with this shut down?
