How in the world does Edwards continue to be competitive? Imo, this guy is a Dukakis, Gore, Kerry clone. In other words, he has a big 'L' on his forehead. What is even sadder is that this lightweight beats all the Republican candidates. I know it's early, but I find this depressing.

It looks like Edwards and Romney have worked Iowa hard and for along time. Clinton is catching up where Obama was second. Then after Iowa, it seems Edwards and Romney fall back.
