3. I think it is way too early to know what is going to happen.

Obama didn't really catch on in Iowa until the JJ dinner at the end of summer and the campaign didn't start getting real until December.

I think Hillary needs to be very worried that there isn't much enthusiasm out there for her. Her events have had empty seats and there just isn't a huge surge of momentum for her.

I think Sanders could very much end up like Dean in 2003. Lots of enthusiasm on the coasts and not enough to win Iowa or NH.

But, in order for O'Malley to start making in-roads in Iowa, he needs to be spending more time there. He isn't doing enough events there yet.
