OK! Obama is OFFICIALLY the front-runner! Let's see how he handles REAL pressure.

Should be interesting, to say the least.

1. I'd hardly call him the frontrunner.

A <5% victory in the first caucus does not make him a frontrunner.

This race is wide open. If tonight taught us anything, it's that there is no frontrunner.

[Beausoir]

2. He wins Iowa. He is now the Front-runner. Expectations are extremely high for him.

This is where the road meets the rubber.

Let's see how he does.

3. Right...when Hillary was a ahead by 2 points she was the front runner

now Obama has throughly trounced her and he isn't the front runner?

If tonight has taught us anything it's that Obama is clearly the front runner.

5. a 5% win in one caucus does not make one a frontrunner

And I'm not sure where you got off that I'm a Hillary partisan.

It's basically a three-way tie right now. Winning by 5% in a race where the top three finishers are within percentage points of each other does not make you a frontrunner.

4. What about 6..7..8%?

[BringBigDogBack]

6. Disagree.

This certainly makes him the front runner.

7. Obama will be the frontrunner if he wins

because Clinton will be knocked off the spot and someone will have to step in. The pressure will be on him to keep up this momentum
