Yeah...I was totally going to write about Iowa tonight even if Hillary won, but Obama did. So I didn't lie...eat it!
Maybe it had something to do with Kucinich's semi-concession, maybe it had something to do with the abnormally large percentage of younger voters turning out for the Iowa caucuses tonight. Whatever happened, Obama won the Democratic caucuses by a significant margin, and I am currently riding on cloud nine. The only downside is that Huckabee won the Republican caucus, and

You should hedge your hopes on Huckabee taking the GOP nomination, because it would pretty much garuantee a victory for the Democratic candidate, whomever it may be. At least that's my take. But then, Iowa caucus voters did seem to respect Huckabee for not going negative, even though he blatantly did-but-didn't, so maybe the American electorate is foolish enough to vote for that snake in the grass.
