It appears Sen. Biden will join Dodd in withdrawing from the race after their Iowa showing.
Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina appeared headed for second place, relegating Clinton, the former first lady, to a close third. Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut dropped out after his poor showing.
[...]
Among other Democrats, Dodd, Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson got little to show for their effort. It seemed possible the field would grow even smaller before New Hampshire votes on Tuesday.
This shows the issues with a front loaded calendar. Both Senators had good issues and brought experience to the campaign, especially in the realm of foreign policy.
With only one state down and 49 to go, two highly qualified men have dropped out. Even though neither got much traction, it would have been good to see both in the New Hampshire debate. This specifically benefits Clinton and Edwards who need more time to plead their case after Obama's strong showing.
The real questions are, who will the two men endorse and will they do it before the first primary in New Hampshire.
Tomorrow we will go back to our state focus, but tonight was too interesting not to write about.

(Seriously, go vote! - promoted by Matt Glazer)
I am proud to report that the Texas Democratic Party's ePrimary Poll has been a huge success. Because of your help spreading the word to our fellow Democrats, in just five short days, over 7,200 Texas Democrats have cast their vote for President!
That's over five times the number of Texas Republicans who cast their vote in last weekend's exclusive Straw Poll. And we're not done yet! With one more day left to vote, all Texas Democrats still have a chance to make their voices heard in the next presidential election.
The enormous participation in the TDP ePrimary Poll is evidence of a Democratic Party on the rise in the Lone Star State. While Texas Republicans had only third-string candidates and embarrassingly low turnout at their VIP-only Straw Poll last weekend, Democrats from every corner of the state are energized by our Party's strong field of presidential candidates and showing their excitement for 2008 in the ePrimary Poll.
Democrats believe our state and nation are better served when more people participate, and the ePrimary Poll is a way for all Texas Democrats to get involved in the primary process and weigh in as our Party selects a presidential nominee. Tell the country which Democrats you want to see take over the White House!
If you haven't voted in the ePrimary Poll, there's still time. Texas Democrats have until TOMORROW at 11:59pm to cast their vote for any one of our Democratic presidential candidates.
Cast your vote for President today!

(Go Vote! - promoted by Matt Glazer)
During the Texas Democratic Party’s recent Town Hall Tour, I traveled nearly 10,000 miles and visited with thousands of Democrats. And I am proud to report that Texas Democrats are unified, energized and eager to win in 2008!
Like most Americans, Democrats from Texarkana to El Paso are tired of George Bush’s failure and ready for a change in the White House. That’s why I am very pleased to announce that the Texas Democratic Party is holding our first-ever ePrimary Poll, a weeklong online event that will give Texas Democrats a chance to support their favorite candidate for President.
Starting today, Democrats across the Lone Star State have the opportunity to cast their vote for any of our outstanding presidential candidates at the TDP website. After Republican leaders weakened the influence of Texas voters by failing to move up our state’s primary election, the TDP is doing everything we can to ensure Texas Democrats have a say in determining the next president of the United States. Now is the time to make your voice heard!

- EOW points out that the TTC moratorium may be veto proof now.
- Michael Dell wants India to slash taxes on computers. Why not just tax Coca-Cola more for water?
- Chris Bell has a new job. Former Democratic Governor Candidate and Houston Congressman, Bell has started working for Patton Boggs in DC.
- Jobsanger thinks we should move up the primary. 21 other states are looking to do the same. Is this the beginning of a National Primary?
- Want to impress your friends and fellow bloggers by showing how Mike Gravel will win 270 electoral votes? Okay, maybe not Gravel.
- And of course, I have to plug a site that looks at Senate races.
