1. This is big.

A very impressive showing for Dean on a very large sample.

2. Yes!

This bodes really really well for Dean. If he wins both IA and NH, he gets a nationwide poll boost, and his margin will rise even more. Wonderful!

3. great for Dr. Dean.... momentum continues in practically all states

Edwards in NC is strong (as you would expect)

His message in being received despite the media bashing...must be the continous endorsements.
