JONATHAN ALTER: "Dubuque's Got the 'Joe Mo'!" (p. 45). Senior Editor and Columnist Jonathan Alter writes that there may still be chance for a white male Democrat to get the party's nod. "If [Hillary] Clinton and [Barack] Obama were arguing about anything other than experience, it wouldn't be possible for [Joe] Biden, Chris Dodd or Bill Richardson to get the slightest traction, even with a better-than-expected finish," he writes. "But by staking her claim on her preparation for the White House, Clinton has kicked off a fuller discussion on what constitutes real qualifications. Experience usually counts for nothing in presidential politics ... , but this time a 'double E' candidate-experience and electability-could at least become a factor. After Iowa, the surviving white guy in a shrunken field will get a chance to stress his record, especially when the usual 'buyers' remorse' sets in about the front runner."
