She could be right. I was in Iowa for Edwards in 2004 as Dean imploded and created a vacuum. If he had kicked in some of his money to counter Kerry's $6 million dump of cash, he could have been the nominee. It was also a factor that in NH, I have heard that the Edwards organization was pretty weak. The momentum out of Iowa Kerry gained was never really stopped.

quad city times has changed her quote, saying they misquoted her:
She said Iowa is vital to the race.

“Iowa will make the difference,” Obama said. “If Barack doesn't win Iowa, it's just a dream, but if we win Iowa, then we can move the world as it should be. And we need your help in making that happen so join me. ”

(EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story incorrectly quoted Michelle Obama's remarks. The above quote reflects her words based on a transcript provided by the campaign. Other news outlets have reported the same quote as the campaign.)
