Maybe i shouldn't be quite so partisan, but of the top three i think i favor Edwards,

looks like Iowa Democrats in this poll do too.

Edwards Takes Back Lead in Iowa

A new InsiderAdvantage poll in Iowa shows John Edwards leading among likely caucus-goers with 30% support, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 26% and Sen. Barack Obama at 24%.

This is the first poll to show Edwards ahead of his rivals since summer.

Key finding: Edwards holds a significant advantage "among a group who could be key to the first contest of the presidential year: those who say their first choice is someone other than the top three. Under Iowa Democratic Party rules, candidates who poll less than 15 percent in the first vote at each caucus around the state are eliminated, and their supporters get a second chance to vote for another candidate."

In the Republican race, Mike Huckabee leads with 28%, followed by Mitt Romney at 25%, Fred Thompson at 10%, Sen. John McCain at 9%, Rep. Ron Paul at 6%, and Rudy Giuliani also at 6%.http://politicalwire.com/archives/2007/12/18/edwards_takes_back_lead_in_iowa.html

Aren't there just 3 primaries before the big multi-state slam day?

a single win would put him in the running for that i think.
I might even go to my first caucus for that for the big February slam.

If he could pull off two or more of the first three primaries, no guarantee, but no one would be ignoring him either. Lots of press for that.

His heart seems to be in the right place.
His absence from Washington & relating to real people over the past four years is a huge plus. I like that he has been there, so he has some clue about it, but he has had time to get his head re-squared to being around the people he will actually represent & not just lobbyists & the DC crowd.

There is no perfection, but he looks damn good for a change.

And what few foreign leaders could resist that smile?
