I have a friend working on Kerry's campaign in Iowa (he relocated to do it, perhaps the only black Yale/Andover grad in the state but I digress). They are all quite excited, but this is the first of many battles.
It seems to me that Kerry winning Iowa has more meaning in a media-attention sense than politically. The media has been waaaay overhyping Dean and with this win Kerry manages to make a fairly significant statement and turn the focus onto himself.
I am all for a Kerry/Edwards ticket later this year!
