Iowa can make Dean and break Gephardt...or vice versa

From the WashPost: "Two see Iowa as crucial battleground"

Dean has never made a secret of his strategy for capturing the Democratic nomination: beat Gephardt in Iowa, beat Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.) in New Hampshire and dare any of his opponents to stop him. In New Hampshire, he already holds a solid lead over Kerry, but in Iowa, Gephardt stands squarely in his path. A Gephardt victory on Jan. 19 could significantly complicate Dean's path to the nomination.

"Significantly" might be a tad strong. Dean has the money, the union support, and the rabid supporters.
