Dejected Deaniacs?

Of course, I had to take a few strolls through the Dean side of Bloggerville just to see how they were coping. Amazingly enough, at both dKos and Oliver Willis many of the Deaniacs seem to be abandoning ship. To me, this is SHOCKING! I had thought Dean's support, more than many other candidate's was rock-solid.

Granted, he was stomped in Iowa last night, but that is one caucus. And eventhough his grass roots campaign should have fared better than third place, it is still early and he still has too much money for people to be walking away. Now, should he fail to finish first or a close second to Clark in NH, it's all over. Dean cannot afford to lose to Kerry in each of the first two contests.

But the bottom line for the whole race is that if Kerry wins NH, the race is OVER.
