It looks like John Kerry will finish in first place tonight in Iowa. Howard Dean is conceding tonight’s caucus. John Edwards may take the second place bouncing the former Vermont governor to third place. This should mean the end of Richard Gephardt’s campaign. Expect to see the Missouri congressman drop out as early as tonight. Now it is on to New Hampshire where Kerry, Edwards and Dean will face former General Wesley Clark.
If the early numbers hold this will obviously be a stunning victory for Senator Kerry and a huge boost to Senator Edwards. Liz and I have been Dean backers since before most people had heard his name. Hopefully, he’ll bounce back. In the end, we’ll support the democratic nominee and look forward to sending George W. Bush back to Texas.
