John Edwards is giving his post-caucus speech right now. He is spinning a third-place tie well, talking about “showing backbone,” against Clinton and Obama, whom he says thought they could buy the election.
Liberal bloggers are certainly pulling for an Edwards second-place showing, both to keep his own campaign above water, and, perhaps, more importantly, to drown out Hillary.
It looks like he's likely to wind up in second. Certainly, I hope he hands on to it, both for the blow it'll do to Hillary Clinton's chances and also because he deserves to do well. It's very hard to see how his candidacy can stay viable without an Iowa win, but he's had a huge -- and entirely positive -- impact on the race.
