Well looks like Kerry is backing away from the "Must win" idea in NH, according to the Boston Globe.. they are now looking for a "Top Two" finish.

(Sorry I can't remember how to link)
So is this a good thing or a bad thing for Kerry?
By publicly trying to lower expectations, he can at least save face, but if he falls to third?
and does this save face anyways?
