1. Hillary isn't the frontrunner, anymore?
Did I miss something?

3. I'm not a Hillary supporter, but proof?
She's still the frontrunner.

7. Leading ONE poll in Iowa is enough to topple Hillary as a frontrunner?
Don't think so.

4. If you are referring to Obama -
save it, I think there would a serious debate about the issues for once if it came down to Edwards and Obama.

5. who knows
perhaps Little Johnny Temper Tantrum is going to have to start offering something of substance instead of just yelling about ... well, whatever he's yelling at Hillary about that day.

And I'll never forget the very brief condescending look he gave Dennis during the debate the other night. Almost as if the Real John Edwards crawled out for a second while glaring at the man who dared question one of his most recent attacks/resume builders.

9. "start offering something of substance" Hmmm seems to me Edwards has done that on all issues.
From healthcare, where he was the first to lay out a plan, on down.

Most critics even agree he's been the most vocal in what he'd do as President, and he's showed America exactly how he'll lead as President with his vision and proposals.

And oh, showcasing the differences between himself and Senator Clinton isn't yelling. It's fair criticism and a fair compare and contrast to make. As far as I've seen, and I follow him fairly closely, Edwards ISN'T yelling about anything.

12. Is that what you teach your students, that she's not the frontrunner anymore?
Just because she doesn't lead in Iowa?

15. Well, she's not leading in Iowa. Nor is Obama, though. Or Edwards.
The race, from what I'm seeing, is up in the air in that state.

Plus even if she was losing in Iowa, she's still leading in other states (New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina)

As far as I'm concerned, and I don't support her, she's the frontrunner.

Period.

13. We need a few polls to confirm this before we announce
Clinton is dead as a doornail in Iowa and she remains the frontrunner nationally. Still, I am pumped by this poll. :)

16. He was nailing Bush and the neocons and rich healthcare agencies
when I heard him speak yesterday in Reno, Nevada. Oh, can't forget that he also nailed Blackwater, etc. Want more?
