President Howard Dean

Hillary looks like the inevitable Dem nominee, but remember how strong Howard Dean looked at this point (and later) in the Dem nominating process last time.

In an average of polls on the Iowa caucus Hillary is just 0.8 points up, a razor thin edge and likely well below an average margin of error.

Still, that's an average and many polls have her up. Given her organizational strength and the experience of her team, this is hers to lose, even just looking at Iowa. But the caucus is still far enough away that her inevitability keeps looking more and more, well, inevitable, a narrow victory there will not be seen as such.

Here's a good place to follow the polls and other campaign news.
