Looks like Dean is in for a real nail-biter in Iowa. As one commentator has said (can’t remember who), it’s probably a good thing that the race has tightened up. It means that all of the major candidates are still being scrutinized and considered. This is, after all, the race for the Presidential nomination and nothing should be easy. At the same time, the media needs to tone down the make-or-break histrionics. The Iowa caucus has a terrible record when it comes to predicting the eventual nominee. I have a feeling that the race won’t start to shake out until mid-February at the earliest. I’ll be curious to see if Kerry and Edwards can build some momentum. Now that would be an interesting ticket.
I’m off tomorrow because of the MLK holiday. I don’t have any solid plans for the day, but it’s just nice to know that I have some extra free time. I still haven’t seen a couple of the smaller films that were released over the holidays, like House of Sand and Fog.
