Heavily-favored and current race leader Billary Clinton is in position to win the Democratic Caucuses, but needs to clear a few more bumps before there is smooth sledding. The constant berating Billary has put Obama through in portraiting him as inexperienced, naive, and cowardly is working at this point in the race - but just how true is it?
No matter who you are cheering for, you have to be impressed with Obama's ability to stay so close to Billary at this point in the race - especially in light of everything that has been thrown at him.
What's in Obama's tank? We've discovered that it is a mixture of fuel that includes: a strong base of Billary discontents; a dose of new start change agents; and mild traces of Barry O belief chemicals. Looks like it has been a good mixture so far - but the tank is going to need a lot more fuel shortly if Obama is going to move up the the Number 1 spot.
Up to now, Edwards has been almost silently present in 3rd place, running an efficient and sometimes even noticeable campaign. Don't be fooled, John Edwards is in a very powerful position, maybe not pointed out in the news headlines yet, Edwards will be the one who ultimately picks Billary or Obama.
Think about an Obama-Edwards, or even an Edwards-Obama ticket for a moment. Could it be enough to derail Billary? You bet it could - even Billary believes this could. You should expect to see Billary "cozy-up" with Edwards if Obama comes out of Iowa and New Hampshire still in 2nd place, especially if Obama wins it all in Iowa.
The Obama camp should cut their deal with Edwards as soon as Edwards will let them, there is a "time sensitive" window for Obama to act and now is the time to move. Let's all watch to see how Obama handles this critically important strategic issue, then we can judge on our own just how inexperienced, naive and cowardly he truly is.

Edwards has the keys - but not for long

You are underestimating Edwards. Hillary and Obama are over the top liberal and Edwards has the reasonably centered Democratic base. John Edwards is a true leader and the other two are blinded by their own ambitions.
I like all three of the candidates. However, I do not think Billary has this race won. Obama has a strong base and seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Obama won Iowa, Billary won New Hampshire - after we seen her looking very emotional and tired the night before, is it true that she received sypmathy votes? It is true that Edwards is in 3rd, but he has a strong base and may surprise some people. I am still researching and studying the three candidates and Obama/Edwards would make a strong Democratic ticket. Billary needs to pay attention to what is going on, I respected President Bill Clinton, but Hillary is not Bill. It's a strong 3 way race and I am watching closely and intently!
