1. I'd say between medium & low..
a lot of my Dem friends & relatives in Iowa really like Edwards -- he could pull off a win there. If so his chances should improve considerably.

2. I'd say low, because Iowa is up for grabs, and
Obama is much more competitive over there than what first expected.

11. I agree. But ...

I think Iowa is going to make or break his campaign -- more than any other state. He could actually pull off a win there, and the whole ballgame would change.

5. The GOP has already decided that Hillary will be the Dem
nominee and most of us are just going along with them.

6. I'm not, and many of us are not. We decide.

8. No WE don't decide.....
I hate to shake your world up, but there are the powers that be which let us THINK we decide....and yes, I base my humble opinion on one incident and only one so go ahead and diss away, but when Kerry and Edwards were at the JJ dinner in WI, Edwards wowed the crowd. One of Kerry's handlers was visibly worried about Edwards and said so to Kerry - his response - "Don't worry about it - it's sewed up and I have the nomination." And so it went. Edwards did well in WI primary and guess who got the nod...again, folks sorry to be such a party pooper (no pun intended), but it's a done deal. This is just a dance and if anyone out there thinks that Hillary ain't got it sewed up in a nice little bundle...

Obama, he's too new, but he sure is dancing to the band of no-goods making brownie points with the $$. He's doing what he has to, but I sincerely don't think he will be the candidate either and that's just so sad that he and Edwards along with several others will never get a chance to make a real difference in this country as big money has it all sewed up and they ain't gonna give back all their ill begotten gains from Jr.

So it's Hillary....period. No matter who wins Super Tuesday. It's Hillary. She won't go down in defeat. Mark my words. And no, I am NOT a hillary fan by any means. I don't care for her or how she pretends to be one of the little people while holding her hand behind her back taking donations from big donors who don't have OUR best interests at heart.

7. Like all things, 50-50:
He either will or he won't. I'm doing what I can so that he will, though.

9. I'm confident in Senator Edwards abilities, so I'm going to say high.
He's leading in Iowa, connects well with voters, and has the boldest and most in depth vision and agenda for our country. I think Obama and Clinton may cancel each other out, and Edwards could use a win in Iowa to turn this race in his favor. We'll see though :)

10. Despite the MSM spin, it's a LONG LONG way away
Edwards might turn this around. Certainly at this point polls are meaningless.
