Things changed fast for Howard Dean after his third-place finish in Iowa and the infamous scream, but I wouldn’t expect a similar sudden collapse for Hillary Clinton.

Ron Fournier of the Associated Press says some in Hillary’s camp disagree: ”If Democratic activists in this state become convinced that you’re too programmed or too polarizing to win in the general election, you’ll lose the Jan. 3 caucuses. And your advisers tell you that a loss to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama in Iowa would likely cost you the nomination.”
