Interesting turn of events following yesterday's results from Wisconsin. Alright -- here's what I want to know: since the "Edwards Surge" is being credited to a larger than normal Republican turnout for the most part, how many of those same GOPers say they don't plan on voting for Bush in November? If exit polls show that those same Republicans would vote for Edwards over George W. Bush on November 2, then Edwards really did accomplish something. But I don't think that's what happened here (remember, this is the state that elected Joe McCarthy to the Senate - not once, but twice!)

Speaking of McCarthy, I'm not sure I get Howard Dean . I thought I was starting to just before the Iowa caucus. But I'm starting to see him less as a trailblazer, and more as a demagogue. The jury is still out though -- as it has been with him from the beginning. I think that's what his problem has been -- he presents a good case but I still resist making a final decision about him.
