John Kerry and John Edwards trounce Howard Dean in Iowa Caucuses.·

As predicted by PoliSat.Com on Saturday, January 17, 2004, the Iowa Caucus would exhibit disenchantment with the Dean of Mean and Doctor of Spleen. Here's an excerpt:

If current polls reflect reality in Iowa (notwithstanding the reported high percentage of youthful voters relying only upon cell phones rather than traditional phones with numbers available to pollsters in land-line directories) we may be witnessing the counter productive effects of politics driven more by visceral hatred for, rather than respectful but strenuous disagreement with, Bush. Although John Kerry has often been harsh in his criticism of Bush, such criticisms have never reached the level of contemptuous, visceral hatred exemplified by such a high percentage of the ardent supporters of Howard Dean. Perhaps the rapid and simultaneous drop in the polls for Dean and rises for Kerry and Edwards almost immediately after Rob Reiner and Martin Sheen traveled to Iowa for in-person displays of their support for Dean signifies that even among the left-leaning Democratic activists in Iowa, infatuation with political hatred and celebrity activists is devolving.

John Kerry's stunning upset tonight in Iowa presages what will doom the Clark campaign in New Hampshire which had been succeeding thus far primarily due to the fecklessness of the Kerry campaign before Kerry clearly and emphatically defined himself as the Un-Dean. Next, he'll define himself as the Un-Clark. Then Kerry will define himself as the Un-UnTested to keep from being overtaken by Edwards, who now seems destined to be Kerry's VP candidate. So here's what in rhyme I must say about Kerry's vict'ry today:

The Iowa Caucus moved-on from Mad-Doctor Dean and MoveOn.·

Since Iowa Democrats spawned
a caucus on which it has dawned
that mad-Doctor Spleen
can't win for their team,
it's time for MoveOn to move on.

So after this vict'ry tonight
for Kerry, who's next in his sights?
The Candidate Seal
is certain to wield
contentions that Clark's full of hype.

His Iowa win, so dramatic,
will drown-out political static
New Hampshire has heard
by spreading the word:
"Politic'ly, Clark's been erratic."

The yet unanswered question is whether MoveOn and the other disciples of the Dean of Mean and Doctor of Spleen can subdue their vitriolic attitudes enough to support, rather than hurt, Kerry's candidacy. PoliSat.Com bets that many of them gravitate toward fringe candidates rather than Kerry, which may be his Achilles' Heel in November, 2004. --Jim Wrenn, Editor@PoliSat.Com.
