Article covers a specific event that is indicative of this week's (or perhaps this minute's) dynamic between the top Democratic contenders in Iowa. The article touches on the issues of polls and the ways in which Obama and Edwards are distinguishing themselves from Clinton.

Interesting to those who watch the day-to-day nuances of the race.
