There’s a lot of good food for thought in the comment thread for this Daily Kos post-Iowa look at the Dem contenders. Some good discussion on whether Dean has suffered as bad of a blow as it may seem, and if so, then who might be the best person to pick up the nomination.

Most people that aren’t solidly entrenched in Dean’s camp seem to be leaning towards either Kerry or Edwards — not terribly surprising, as they got the top two spots in the Iowa caucuses — with a few leaning towards Clark.

For myself — well, at least for the moment, Dean is still my favorite of the bunch. Kerry has never particularly impressed me (he comes off as too much of a “traditional politician”, Clark I think would make a great VP or cabinet member (his military background strikes me as better fitting to a supporting role), and Edwards I just don’t know much about.

Any supporters of Kerry, Edwards, or Clark want to present a case why I should look more seriously at their campaign? I’m curious.

Update: Essentially the same question is being asked on Daily Kos — and apparently generating a good amount of answers. Worth looking into.
