Iowa
A few thoughts on the caucuses:
The most impressive win to me was Edwards' second place finish. He has been outspent by his rivals by about 6-1 and the media's focus on the Hillary v. Barack race turned those two candidates into superstars. Those were significant hurdles.
A lot of focus has been placed on HRC's personality for her failure to ignite voters. To me, she just went moderate way too early. She spent way too much time telling us how very conventional she is. We all see where conventional beltway candidates get us.
I was glad to see Romney chastened. The man has no principles, is the privileged son of a powerful family, and sounds like a recording of the 1980 GOP convention. He acts like cutting taxes is in the Book of Mormon.
Huckabee may be around for a while. Due perhaps to lavish spending on public education, New Hamshire has few evangelicals. However, the next primary is in bible rich South Carolina where believing is knowing.
