Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama and John Edwards are in a virtual tie for first place in Iowa, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The survey found Obama had 27% support, followed by Clinton and Edwards tied at 26%. Gov. Bill Richardson was fourth with 11%."
While Clinton has a clear and consistent lead over Obama in national polls, with Edwards generally running a distant third, the contours of the campaign in Iowa appear far different. Edwards's strong base of support, built on the foundations of his second-place finish in the state's precinct caucuses in 2004, has turned Iowa into the most competitive early state for the Democratic field."
I have a feeling in the end John Edwards might win in Iowa. He needs the win to have a chance. Hopefully, Hillary Clinton will do some major Iowa campaigning in the Fall and take over both Edwards and Obama.

The gentility,intelligence,and experience of Sen. Clinton gives her a heads-up as my choice.
This poll has sealed John Edwards' fate. He staked his entire campaign on Iowa; it is over.
Actually, for us political junkies, this is no surprise.
But, at least we will start to see less of that pitiful man. Unless, of course, his wife decides to run for him.
