Dodd and Biden Drop

After the not-so unexpected victory by Democrat Barack Obama, Senator Chris Dodd and Senator Joe Biden have dropped their presidential bids. Obama took the Democratic caucus in Iowa with 38% of the votes, with former Senator John Edwards in second with 30%, and Senator Hillary Clinton taking third with 29% of the votes.

It can be certain that Edwards and Clinton will still be hot on the Heels on Obama for the foreseeable future, but will the absence of Dodd and Biden change the upcoming climate? Where will the additional votes be allocated among the top three now that some of the "funnel votes" have been removed?
