Minus 21 and Getting Hotter
Thought it was a pretty good day for the Dean swarm, or the "Iowa Storm" as the 3500 Iowa Dean volunteers are called, what with the announced endorsement of C.M. Braun. My Dean leaners are feeling a bit nervous though about some of the latest polling number which are now showing a somewhat hotter race, depending on the poll. There is talk that the relentless sniping at Dean from virtually all the contenders, save Edwards, is beginning to take a toll, particularly on a press corp that's hungry for drama. Come on, this is politics after all. I certainly don't hear any sense of complacency that this race is a slam dunk for Dean, either in NH or Iowa. And from what I hear there are still a lot of leaners out there waiting for something to push them one way or the other, and I don't think it will be a big issue item. They are listening and watching.
