1. This Kucinich supporter thinks it'd be a minor dent

2. I don't know. We won't see.

He'll win NH. What sort of change will that cause in national polls? What sort of shift will that create in California? Is Hillary Clinton really the likely winner in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Arkansas, and Florida, as Chris Bowers (who is very often wrong) says over at openleft.com?

4. He's not my candidate, but I think it would only slow him down

a little. I'm anticipating Clinton, Obama and Edwards in until the convention.

7. Whether it's a major or minor dent in the momentum would probably depend

on the size of the loss. Iowa wasn't exactly a landslide for him. If NH is another "almost three way split", but with Edwards on top instead of Obama, I don't think it would do too much damage.

As I said in the similar Edwards thread, I think the real contest (at least in terms of early primaries) between Barack and John is going to be South Carolina.

8. I'm an Edwards supporter, but

No way is Obama gonna lose to HRC. The true ugliness of her personality has been rearing its head lately, first in the debate, and then in her recent comments about the innocent victims who appeared with Edwards today.

Edwards will probably come in third in NH, but HRC's going to get her butt kicked once more in that state.
