Is the big winner on the Democratic side in Iowa going to be Joe Biden? In a few days here, I have seen the snows melt a little and the senator's prospects warm up - many conversations with people who really are going to caucus suggest that he is not necessarily an also-ran.

A politics professor at Drake University confirms that a Biden surge is the cutest outside bet in town at the moment. The logic is that Hillary bombs and he comes in third.

He has been an impressive debater.

More importantly for Iowans, he has been impressively switched on to Iowa's brand of retail politics; keeping his famously big mouth closed and his ears open. Sure, he once stole a speech from the British politician Neil Kinnock - but redemption, in the snow, may be at hand.
