This is interesting... in the last week before IA, when Dean was dropping in the polls and off message, my tummy was all butterflies about what could happen. It was really stressful.
Of course, Iowa turned out worse than i even imagined... getting creamed by that flip-flopping snoozer Kerry and a Dean being Dean moment turned into the butt of this week's political jokes.
So here we are, coming up on the NH primary, and i'm completely sanguine about it. I'm excited, but not fearful. I'm comfortable with the idea of second place and not concerned about getting third or fourth like some people think will happen. I'm giving a lot of pep speeches to concerned and wavering Deaniacs, and ignoring the sunshine soldiers who care more about winning than being right.
Are my nerves a better oracle than the collective wisdom of the pundits and DKos? I guess i'll find out next week.
