Huckabee/Obama Win Iowa Caucuses

What is a good website to look at polls?

I rely on RealClearPolitics. But you have to be a careful consumer. They have some "fringe" polls that have been far from accurate.

I do think it says something for our state that a black man is winning the way that Obama is.

Well great news that Hilary isn't winning.

 

I'm impartial on either Edwards or Obama, so a pretty good result.

 

I think you probably have to consider Obama the favorite right now. Will be interesting to see how the Clintons regroup after this. Quite the wake-up call.

It's great that people in Iowa can look past race while casting a vote.

 

It's very disturbing that people in Iowa REALLY like Mike Huckabee.

Jeez, Hillary propped up the corpse looking Madeline Albright behind her.

It also says something about America that an African American now has a solid chance at the Presidency.

He's a nice guy, Iowans fall for nice guys.

No, mainly Iowa. :P

McCainTrain in third, according CNN (78%) reporting.

NBC reports that Dodd is dropping out.

Huckabee should consult Jeremy Piven and ask him how to grow back hair.

Pretty good turn out to this tonight. They were expecting 30-35 people where I was at. We ended up with 130! Pretty interesting process. I ended up as one of the delegates for the county.

These exit polls are really interesting.

 

Married people went to Clinton, single to Obama.

 

Democrats went to Obama, not to anyone else as was maybe thought. Any independents and republicans were strongly Obama.

 

Previous caucus goers? 43% yes (went to Edwards). 57% no (strongly Obama).

So biggest winners and losers in both parties from tonight's result?

Also, FWIW, it's generally the more populated ares of Iowa that are still outstanding on the Democratic side.

Romney took a HUGE hit tonight. It's going to be hard for him to recover.

McCain was a winner. he wasn't competing hard there, but landed 3rd and might win NH.

Edwards... hmm... not sure. might be a looser. Clinton will hold strong in NH, but some Edwards supports might flock to Obama.

Huckabee is undeniably the most talented orator on either side, the speech he's giving right now sounds very sincere.

Dude, Rudy pulled 4%. HE needs to be on the losers list.

My money is on Bloomberg which is a mistake. I like a Richardson or Schweitzer VP nod myself.

He wasnt even trying in Iowa. He is pulling the Bill Clinton model. He doesnt care about the first few states that he knows are smart. He'll concentrate on the other states and try to be the "9/11 guy" and hope they fall for it.

I saw Senator Obama at DePaul, and while I was moved then too... Huckabee has the ability to tug on your heart strings, and then make you laugh a few words later. When Obama tries to be funny, it feels like hes trying too hard.

 

Its just my opinion though.

I can see what you mean. Obama tends to be more passionate when he speaks, but Huckabee is "emotional". Not the crying emotional, but the move your heart. Obama moves your body into action. (Ok, that sounded dirty. lol)

Romney spent 7.2 million dollars in Iowa and got less than 40,000 votes.

McCain Train falls to 4th
