Sooner Than You Think

A new Rasmussen poll of Iowa Democratic voters shows Hillary Clinton opening a double-digit lead in the first in the nation Iowa caucus.

Or will it be first in the nation? Reports indicate New Hampshire's Secretary of State is at least contemplating moving up the Granite State's primary to December.

Could it be Christmas in New Hampshire? If so, it would be the first time New Hampshire went BEFORE Iowa. And that could change the entire dynamic of the race on both sides.

It's looking more and more like New Year's in Iowa.

Iowa Republicans set their caucus for January 3rd. That's right, the 3rd! Iowa Democrats could follow suit.

Now, back to that Dem poll.

IOWA DEMS
Hillary Clinton 33%
John Edwards 22%
Barack Obama 21%

The poll was taken between Oct. 10-14th. Does this mean the real battle in Iowa will be for second between Edwards and Obama? If Obama finishes third, does the race end there -- because Edwards doesn't have the financial resources to take on Hillary in the bigger states? Or is Hillary's lead in the Hawkeye State inflated?
