But I am hoping Hillary
Edwards was a good bit behind both Hillary and Obama in recent polls, but he has been campaigning like crazy out there the last couple of days, so he does have a chance.
I predict that Obama will win the Iowa Caucuses though, followed by Hillary, and then Edwards.
It's kind of a shame that Iowa and New Hampshire mean so much to the nomination process, relative to other states.
EDIT: It's also a shame that only something like 10% of the Iowa population actually participates in the Caucus.

You must be thinking of Edwards. Obama has more than hope, he has a legitimate chance. Edwards is a known quantity. He has no chance.
You missed my point I think. I was trying to be funny since you guys are supposed to be the campaign of hope and change.
I think all three are good candidates. May the best person win.

It's still too close to call....but IF dude can win Iowa things will damn sure get interesting!
Either way, thank god the Bush disaster is coming to a close!
I was a big Bill Clinton fan, I aint big on Hillary and they have actually annoyed me a bit with the whole Barack "should" wait his turn mantra!
What do they mean by that? I know what I THINK people mean by that!

They mean Obama needs a little more seasoning. I agree. I think all three top democrats are great candidates though so I am happy with the field.

It's interesting though. I think a lot people label Obama as inexperienced because of his age, and the fact that he's only been a US Senator since 2004. However, many forget that he served as a State Senator before that.
I agree that all 3 top candidates are solid though. I personally like Edwards a lot, but know he's likely out of it unless he pulls a miracle in Iowa or NH.

i hope clinton wins, because if she wins Iowa, she has won the nomination because she was supposed to have no shot at Iowa. If Obama loses Iowa he is most likely screwed.
The biggest mistake the Democrats can make is give the nom to Clinton(George W. Bush v2.0, seriously she agrees with Bush on every issue except healthcare which doesn't matter because universal healthcare is a bad idea when social projects should be cut to get us out of debt instead of more being created) or Obama.
Edwards can win against ANY Republican, he has no major issues where they can embarass him, which is why he has not been receiving media coverage because the Republicans WANT Clinton to win the nomination. The only Republican she can actually beat is Huckabee, and that is because he is a **** idiot zealot.
I would vote for Obama or Edwards, but not if Clinton is attached to either nominee through endorsing them or being their VP. She is THE MOST CORRUPT politician in Washington, and is only having this opportunity because of her last name and her gender. If we are going to elect a women just because they are a women, atleast make it Conny because she is actually smart, intelligent, and makes her own decisions she doesn't let corporations do it for her.
I'm sure someone will try to say, Clinton doesn't agree with Bush, all she does is criticize him. You are right, all she does is criticize him, but she doesn't offer any solutions because she is bought and paid for by every industry except the Pharmaceutical industry, who even now is starting to buy her out, considering the CFO of Pfizer is donating HUGE money to her campaign. She is pathetic.
vote for McCain, he is the ONLY one telling the inconvenient truth about Iraq and what we actually need to do. Unless you believe Ron Paul, then i suggest you protect this country by not voting.

Im confident Clinton can beat Romney too. He will most likely be your nominee anyways. Huckabee would be a joke. McCain and Giuliani are not conservative enough.
