The meme of the night in the Iowa Dem blogosphere is the candidate thermometer. OK. I'll play. Here's how I'm feeling 13 months out.
Fire (these go to eleven): John Edwards, Russ Feingold, Barack Obama, Bill Richardson
Lukewarm Water (Are we gonna play "Stonehenge" tonight?): Evan Bayh, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, Tom Vilsack, Mark Warner
Ice (I'm sure I'd be feeling much worser if I wasn't under such heavy sedation): Joe Biden, Wesley Clark, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, Dennis Kucinich
Even Global Warming Can't Thaw This (maybe if they did it in Dubbly): Al Gore
