What now for Dean?

After THE SPEECH, tomorrow will be the first tracking poll, I will be amazed if Dean drops less than 10% in NH.  By next Tuesday he'll finish no better than 4th

Kerry will easily win NH, now the only question is will Dean finish second, third or fourth.  Dean has the largest national organization and the biggest burn rate for his contributions.   If he falls below 2nd he may rapidly exhaust his money and fall into debt.  I think  he has already stopped running ads outside of NH.  I always thought his passion would take him to the convention, but, now I'm not sure how far beyond super Tuesday he'll go.  Same for Clark, the anti-Dean, as Dean fades so too is Clark likely to fade, leaving a clear path for Kerry, perhaps with Edwards as the Southern running mate.
