Obviously a self-promotional press release, it nevertheless contains interesting insights.

In their victory speeches, Obama and Huckabee struck similar cords and distinguished themselves from their respective fields portraying themselves as unifiers and change agents who didn't view the world in simply Republican and Democratic hues."
LOL, good grief, as if we haven't heard these bromides before, like in every election. Talk about spin.
To: unspun
Huckabee got 40,000 or so votes in a firmly Leftist state. Pretty desperate to be drawing universal truths about election 2008 from such a pathetically small sample.
Any “lessons” to be drawn from last night apply to Iowa and maybe a Minnesota and Wisconsin. Drawing larger conclusions based on the currently observed data is wholly unwarranted

Xers had to fend for themselves from an early age Children who grew up in the richest, most secure period in US History "had to fend for themselves from an early age"? Talk about drama queen teen angst and hysteric nonsense.

Xers were born in the 70s. Yers were born in the 80s.
Many Xers got stuck with Carterite families.

Huckabee doesn’t tell it like it is...
Its hard to say when we will see
A Lib more glib than Huckabee.
Religion is his tool of choice,
Hes armed with sermonizing voice.
Self-canonized, and very shrewd,
He sneakily gets others screwed.
He puts out dirt and then retracts it.
Is repentant (I think he ACTS it).

No, many of the so called Generation X were born in the sixties also by the standard calculations.

"The victories of Mike Huckabee and Barack Obama with a good showing for John McCain in Iowa demonstrate that spin is out and authenticity is in"Speaking of spin: If McCain's Iowa result was "success," then what of Thompson? Or Romney, for that matter. To ignore either one, when both finished higher, isn't just "spin." As part of a statement that "spin is out," it's hypocritical.

True. I should have said that most of them *grew up* in the 70s.
I’m a “late” “Xer”, and some of my earliest memories are of Carter’s election campaign...

Generation X, born between 1961 and 1981
GENERATION Y, born between 1982 and 2000
This is a pretty bad breakdown for the Generation X and Y thing. Someone born in 1977 (such as myself) is going to have more in common (pop culturally) with someone born in the early eighties than with someone born in the early sixties. And there's quite a gap between 2000 and the early eighties.
To: Huck
I am sorry for that but then it has absolutely nothing to do with the political climate of that generation’s parents.

the language of authenticity and with the tone of optimism and hope of Generation YGen Y is my generation (I was born in 1981). The sheer number of kids close to my age that I've seen and know personally that have gone ga-ga over B. Hussein Obama is scary. Gen Y, by and large, is composed of sheeple, IMO.

I think they said last night that Harkin was from Iowa.
