Despite the unbreakable lock Hillary Clinton appears to have on the nomination, there are all kinds of ways for her not to win, because the voters, especially those in Iowa, have a habit -- they seem to take pride, really -- of making the political certainties of the these soft October nights look like absurdities in the cold, harsh light on deep winter.All of which is to say that Barack Obama, for all the talk of his stalled and faltering campaign, still has a chance. There is hope for the politics of hope.For that to happen, however, someone needs to go after the Clinton juggernaut, and if you're Barack Obama, you're hoping that John Edwards, very soon, decides to chuck whatever caution he has left and go after Hillary the way Gephardt went after Dean in November and December of 2003.
