Yup, This is When it Gets Fun

I have very little to add to the hub-bub about Iowa except to echo Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson. It's gonna be an exciting few weeks, starting with Thursday.

Sometimes I just fucking love politics. The race in Iowa is such that nobody, and I mean nobody, can predict who is going to emerge victorious on January 3 — in either party’s caucuses. We’re looking at a dead heat among Clinton, Obama, and Edwards on the Democratic side and a dogfight between Huckabee and Romney in the Republican race. Polling over the holidays — when families are traveling — is a joke. So the instruments we pajama pundits usually use to gauge momentum are clouded by statistical burps that show Hillary up ten points in one poll or and down two in another.
