Tell me that Iowa and NH don't matter. Kerry's double victories have clearly propelled him into front runner status. As we launch this four states tracking, Kerry has huge leads in two states (Missouri and Arizona). He is running competitively in the other two states (South Carolina and Oklahoma). And, as of now, he looks like the only candidate who will emerge from all four states with delegates [...]
"Dean continues to do well in every state among young voters and those who identify themselves as very liberal. At this point, if these numbers hold, Dean could emerge on February 3rd with no delegates from these four states. That would be a significant blow as he heads into Michigan.
Given Dean's change of leadership, I don't think he had much choice but to skip Feb 3. The calendar gets much more favorable for him after Feb 3.
