If past is prologue things won’t come into focus until after the New Year. Nothing concentrates the mind for voters and candidates alike like votes that count. I remember jumping on the Clark bandwagon in the fall of 2003 when he had the best electability numbers. Kerry was dead in the water and Dean was the front runner. Then Dean stumbled, Kerry found his stride and threw a few very well-aimed punches and Clark shrank. It was all over very quickly after that. Iowa takes a lot of crap for being first but that caucus has set the tone for the entire nominating contest more often than not.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
