I don't think Edwards will go over all that favorably in Michigan, Wisconsin, or Washington. Also, he's lacking funds. And I don't think any momentum from today would translate into an infusion of cash to Edwards as Kerry would remain the clear front-runner swallowing establishment money. I question whether Edwards could remain viable by the Virginia primary.
Therefore, Dean's vision of a two-man race is increasingly likely. Unfortunately, I suspect this two-man race will be similar to the Jerry Brown vs. Bill Clinton two-man race that developed toward the end of the 92 primary season. Can't see where Dean gains leverage in the contest with Kerry without portraying Kerry as too liberal. And how can Dean do that when his base now apparently consists of young liberals. I fear that Kerry would consistently take close to 65% of the primary vote, even in places like New York and California.
