I thought the time was right to start up a live thread for results and comments about tonight, so here we are!
You are right on Romney. Everyone else has an “out” when it comes to Iowa. McCain, Thompson and certainly Giuliani did not spend the time and money that Romney did there.
I certainly don’t think this makes Hucakbee the favorite. But I don’t see Romney finishing higher than second in NH, SC, and FL. He has to hope that the first place guys are different in each of those states. I suppose that is possible with McCain winning NH, Thompson (hopefully) in SC, and Giuliani (hopefully not) in Florida.
This is the first, and last, primary Huckabee wins.
RESULTS:
Clinton 32; Obama 31; Edwards 34
WINNER: Huckabee 33!; Romney 24 McCain 11 Paul 0; Thompson 17 Giuliani 0
Heavy Turnout in Iowa May Delay Process...
From Drudge.
Winning the Iowa caucuses cinches the nomination, just ask President Robertson.
“Fox projects Huckabust as winner.”
Thanks for the info.
Well thats one theory. But I’m not clear how you’d know which parts of IA were well known Huckster territory.
Huckabee was a big winner tonight, but Thompson is holding his own IMO and Paul is doing quite well as well.
I don’t think anyone is going to drop out before New Hampshire - McCain is doing well there, Giuliani was never expected to do well in Iowa, Romney is still leading there and Hunter is not a big-name candidate as it is.
Yep, scary isn’t it??? I think it just proves that they have an agenda no matter how much they pretend they don’t. We here are speaking our minds clearly, and actually look at the information before us. Them??? Well, there USED to be good journalists in our world — I don’t think there are many left.
I don’t get it either!
CNN calls Iowa GOP for Huckabee as the winner tonight.
[Bad news for GOP because the CNN panel of pundits say the GOP leadership think Huckabee will divide the party, thus giving 08 to the Dems.]
Yes, poor IA has come a long and unglorious way since the West Branch days of Herbert Hoover.
““What is the appeal with Huckabee though?””
He’s the lazy man candidate, and boy are there a lot of lazies out there.
Romney accusing McCain of personal attacks in his N.H. ads. Get out the popcorn!
NBC evening news on the west coast just predicted Obama winning.
Let’s hope huckabust dies a fast primary death.
the 4000 evangelical lemmings who jumped into the abyss over the mere issue of abortion.
Remember folks,
BARELY over 4000..
they are calling this and PEOPLE ARE STILL VOTING!!!!
She will get DIRTY,,,VERY DIRTY!
well its not so much that Im surprised as it is that I havent paid enough attention in past years until at least the spring of the election year.
