148. Shouldn't the shorter schedule have made it easier for Dean to recover?

If Dean had strong organizations in the other early primary states it should have given him a quick chance to make a comeback, instead of having a full month of bad news and no new wins. The compacted schedule should have benefited the candidate with the most money and name recognition, which was Dean.

Dean suffered from high expectations in Iowa. The primary schedule was designed to help more moderate candidates win, but I don't think that's why Dean lost, for what it's worth.
