1. Brrrrr!!

They're hardy people, though. I think they'll make it out. Otherwise, they'd be housebound the whole winter! ;)

2. Gephardt's doing a good job on this

Whatever the temperature, he has union members offering to baby-sit, dog-sit, or just offer a ride to and from the caucus. I don't like him, but Gephardt's organization there is astounding.

3. My prediction - if the weather sucks - Dean gets a break ...
