With like 60 precints left to report in:
Obama: 37.52%
Edwards: 29.87%
Clinton: 29.41%
Record breaking turnout on the Dem side.
On the Republican side, Huckabee had a 10% lead all night and swept it away, followed by Romney.
And somewhere in the back, Thompson. Don't ask me how.

Yay Obama! Please keep this up!
Huckabee worries me, he could garner enough of the religious vote to actually be a contender in the actual presidential election...

Huckabee has a lot of liabilities as a candidate, with being a religious extremist and a scandal ridden term as governor. He's probably doing well because he's honestly loony, as opposed to being a phony.
It's not that I'm unforgiving, it's that most of the people who wrong me are unrepentant assholes.

I don't know about that. If that were true, Ron Paul would be doing better.Cynical Cat wrote:Huckabee has a lot of liabilities as a candidate, with being a religious extremist and a scandal ridden term as governor. He's probably doing well because he's honestly loony, as opposed to being a phony.
More seriously though, I'm seeing an Obama/Edwards ticket for the Democrats as being more and more likely, which makes me happy. Keeping Hillary as far as possible away from a position of power is a Good Thing.
As I've said a couple times before: I don't have a problem with a woman being POTUS. I do, however, have a huge problem with Hillary being POTUS.

Considering how many Republicians and Independents *coughs* have already declared for Obama, if Huckabee gets the nod from the Repubs, it'll just be to be a sarifical lamb.Republicans wrote:Iowa 85% reporting

True. I'm hoping that about the only thing that can save the Republicans now is a Cthulu / Huckabee ticket.frigidmagi wrote:Considering how many Republicians and Independents *coughs* have already declared for Obama, if Huckabee gets the nod from the Repubs, it'll just be to be a sarifical lamb.

That would actually be a Very Good thing, since it would mean weakening the Right-wing religious vote, same as the Green guy did to Al Gore in the 2000 elections.Charon wrote:Yay Obama! Please keep this up!

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel, New York, wars while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in water having a good time.
But the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons

Obama wins the Iowa primary, and with luck, will take New Hampshire as well.
Huckabee, honestly, I know he's been campaigning and being nutty as a fuck...but gods damn it, he actually won?
I'm honestly, truly baffled by how well he's managed to bullshit this into a Iowa victory...but then again, he's just religious enough that maybe some of those nuts believe he's the answers GWB wasn't...
