the shortened political season didn't allow the front runner after Iowa to be scrutinized the way the front runner in 2003 was--day after day--but what is done is done and water under the bridge. The democratic party purposely wanted a shortened political season so they would have a nominee quicker rather than a longer season where it be drawn out. I'm not sure that was the best thing for the party. Certainly when you consider that Kerry was in third place behind both Dean and Clark prior to Iowa--he got a bounce in Iowa and the time between Iowa and NH was short enough where that bounce was sustained
