Interesting Iowa poll--Democrats

Yes, I know, it's so early and there's always too much horse-race stuff in politics.
But let's face it, the race for president is on and it's worthwhile to keep up on the state of it.
I found this poll interesting--a reputable poll, done by Peter Hart and McLaughlin and Associates, respected (and Democrat-leaning) pollsters. And after everything (Senator Clinton for example has campaigned pretty heavily in Iowa over the past few weeks), John Edwards still leads in Iowa. What if Edwards wins Iowa? It would certainly affect the Democratic race; Hillary could no longer be seen as inevitable. Stay tuned. UPDATE: One wonders, too, how the continuing trickle of negative stories about Edwards will impact the race--the haircut, his work during the past four years for big investment groups, and now today a story originally in the Wall Street Journal and now going around the blogosphere that Edwards has further ties to big money. Edwards could eventually die from these thousand cuts.
