From the Wolf Blitzer Reports staff in Atlanta:
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Don't tell him it's just a three-way race in Iowa. Sen. John Edwards is stunning pundits, pollsters and rivals with his come-from-behind trek in the Hawkeye State.
He continues his swing through Iowa this weekend and told voters on Friday, "I can't do it alone, but you and I can do it together."
A week's a long time in politics, enough time for things to change in New Hampshire.
Right now Wesley Clark is enjoying a surge in support there, but once the rest of the pack returns to challenge him, that could change.
Friday he unveiled "Clark's Reading Room," a room featuring hundreds of personal documents from his past.

"It's a response to what I've seen is a pattern in government," Clark said at the unveiling. "It's one of the reasons I felt a need to run ... What we're looking at is the most closed administration since Nixon's."
Like Wesley Clark, opting out of the Iowa caucuses gave Joe Lieberman a little catch-up time.
Though polls show he's still behind in the Granite State, Lieberman continued pushing his message Friday with New Hampshire voters.
Absent from Iowa and New Hampshire on Friday, Dennis Kucinich is eyeing the Arizona primary. That's where he kicked his day off his day in Tucson. Kucinich addresses the California State Democratic Convention Friday night.
After raising 2.3 million dollars more for his re-election campaign Thursday in New Orleans and Atlanta, President Bush skipped the trail Friday. But that's not stopping his campaign's presence.
In the coming days, Republicans like Rudy Giuliani and Tom Delay will head to Iowa and New Hampshire to motivate party activists.
