Liz Marlantes in the Christian Science Monitor looks
at the possibility that neither Iowa or New Hampshire will narrow
the field of candidates. That could result in a very long primary
race that could extend well into March even April. It might
result in frontrunners of the week depending on which states were
on the ballot with each candidate hanging on until they could
surface again in a friendly state.
In many ways, the campaign seems to have reverted back to its
original formlessness: After an interval of many months shaped by
Dean's surge and the issue of Iraq war, the race now once again
lacks a dominant issue or a dominant frontrunner.
