4-way race til the end of the primary season?

I think there are many scenarios that could lead to a 4-way race between Clark, Dean, Edwards and Kerry right into the end of the primary season and that Iowa may be a harbinger of it if the top 4 in Iowa are separated by 10% or less.

Does anyone else think this is possible? Likely?

How much acrimony would such a scenario create?

2. I agree...

And we'll probably know the winner shortly thereafter.

today's "bunching" at the top isn't going to last long.

6. That would be a nail biter, but I don't believe it will happen

I think we'll get definitive results tomorrow.

7. Perhaps It Is Better That Way

We have four candidates, ANY of whom could beat Bush* in an honest election.
If one frontrunner emerges too early, it becomes easier for them to do an RFK scenario.

8. A four way race into July would guarantee a Bush election

But I'm not worried about it. After Super Tuesday the picture should be clear. The nominee needs to focus on bringing down the Bush Criminal Empire with no distractions within this party.
