MY INSTINCTS AREN'T THAT BAD

Yesterday I discussed how the Democratic race might eventually narrow down to the "liberal" Dean and the "conservative" Lieberman.

Today, we see that over at DKos, they have the same thing in mind. The idea being, if Dean wins Iowa he knocks out Gephardt, and if Dean wins NH, Kerry will fold his tent, potentially leaving Lieberman (or the barely-visible John Edwards) to take South Carolina and be the "anti-Dean". If I were Dean, I'd like that scenario a lot, given the primary schedule, and the relatively ineffective campaigning and speaking style of Holy Joe, as pointed out by Slate's Bill Saletan (who seems to tacitly have his boy Edwards in mind... nevermind that currently Edwards is polling behind Braun nationally)
