I’ve finally returned to Internet access, and let me tell you — that caucus was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!
Romney really cleaned up in the Republican precincts here at Kirn Junior High School in Council Bluffs — but he obviously didn’t cut it in Iowa overall.
As the results shake out, nothing is settled on the Republican side, except that Romney is the only Republican loser of the night. It’s hard to see how he comes back from this.
Huckabee wins, of course — evidently, he found the holy grail of the caucuses, expanding the pool. Thompson did much better than expected, as did McCain. Rudy Giuliani watches the race stay unresolved long enough that his late strategy could work. And even Ron Paul made double digits.
But Romney is in big trouble now. McCain is poised to knock him out in the next round. If that happens, whom does it benefit in South Carolina? Thompson? Huckabee?
The Dem caucus I attended was even more fun. More on that later...

Just how is Romney the loser when he beat everybody but the one state wonder, Huckabee?
Every business analyst & investor counselor knows that if you invest more than all your competitors put together & you don't gain a single return on your investment, that's not exactly a celebratory situation!

Judy Annie was an even bigger loser, But to be fair Judy didnt spent a gajillion dollars in Iowa
Fred Thompson: You're alive, although tonight could have, and should have, gone a lot better for you. Stick around. Romney just played javelin receiver, Rudy and Huckabee will split the party, and a lot of conservatives aren't sure if they trust McCain. Keep doin' what you're doin', push hard in every state as you pushed in Iowa, and you may end up being the guy who has to save the party from the historic error represented by... one of the other guys.
