As L8t4tea has posted here already, new polling in Iowa shows that nice
Mr. Edwards fellow has re-taken the lead.

Has Obama Peaked?
The unexpected skirmish in Iowa yesterday between Sen. Barack Obama and John Edwards, as reported by the Des Moines Register, was likely about a change in momentum in the Democratic presidential race.

In fact, David Yepsen noted it may suggest Obama's "internal polls are showing the Illinois senator has peaked." Now, a public poll shows Edwards back in the lead with Obama in third place.

First Read wonders if Obama "is worrying that 1) Edwards is doing well in second-choice polling, or 2) doing well in some of the more rural parts of the state -- places where Obama thinks he could do well if it weren't for Edwards."

EDWARDS TAKES BACK THE LEAD IN IOWA

A new InsiderAdvantage poll in Iowa shows John Edwards leading among likely caucus-goers with 30% support, followed by Sen. Hillary Clinton at 26% and Sen. Barack Obama at 24%.

This is the first poll to show Edwards ahead of his rivals since summer.

Key finding: Edwards holds a significant advantage "among a group who could be key to the first contest of the presidential year: those who say their first choice is someone other than the top three. Under Iowa Democratic Party rules, candidates who poll less than 15 percent in the first vote at each caucus around the state are eliminated, and their supporters get a second chance to vote for another candidate."

In the Republican race, Mike Huckabee leads with 28%, followed by Mitt Romney at 25%, Fred Thompson at 10%, Sen. John McCain at 9%, Rep. Ron Paul at 6%, and Rudy Giuliani also at 6%.

Go, Johnny, go.

(And on a mean-spirted partisan note, check out that whopping 6% for Rudy Giuliani. Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle...)
