Reply #12: He keeps running...

Dean has probably one of the most amazing grass roots campaigns in recent history (this coming from a non Dean supporter). A less than first place showing in NH will not doom him, but definetely will make it much more difficult to retain the support and excitement he has (or had prior to Iowa).

Dean's still first in the polls in NY, MI, CA, and several other major states. The only question is how much momentum will Kerry and Edwards have in NH next week...and how much will Clark be hurt by Kerry's success in NH, and how much will he be hurt by Edwards in SC (today's win for Kerry and Edwards hurts Clark the most, possibly adding a lot of momentum to two competing figures in NH and SC).

My guess is Dean will stick around through Super Tuesday, unless he does horrible in MI, and several of the other primaries.

It definetely will get interesting in the next several days.
