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

I think you have it half right. Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin have strong liberal ends -- but they also have their strong conservative ends -- especially social conservatives.

Iowa...is...not...leftist. Except for Iowa City of course. It’s populist, both on the Democrat and Republican side, and relatively conservative on both sides too.
