Yepsen: Don't Rule Out Surges by Edwards, Thompson

There's a lot of buzz about the battle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for Democratic caucus votes in Iowa. And there's also a lot of talk about the fight between Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee on the Republican side.

Can Clinton recover and overtake Obama's narrow lead? Can Romney stop Huckabee to reclaim the top spot in the GOP race? Buzzzzzz.

All that tends to overlook two other candidates: Democrat John Edwards and Republican Fred Thompson. They're both showing real potential to come up fast here at the end.

One reason is the indecision of a lot of caucus-goers in both parties. This cycle, polls have shown around half the likely caucus-goers in each party could still be persuaded to change their minds. In other words, the so-called front-runners haven't closed the sale.

1. Have to admit that a late Thompson surge would be something of a shock.

Edwards' team in Iowa seems extraordinarily vigorous and dedicated. I could see Yepsen's call on that one, no problem.

But Thompson doesn't seem to have much of a field game out there.

On the other hand, Thompson doesn't have much competition out there, either.
