Hmph, So much for that "Christian" Campaign.

Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa
Wow! What a race!
Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa Via Politico:
Mike Huckabee won a convincing victory among Republicans Thursday night, while Democrat Barack Obama posted a narrow and historic win over Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards as Iowans rendered the first true judgments of the 2008 presidential cycle.
Huckabee was declared the winner at 9 p.m. Eastern time, easily besting Mitt Romney – a storyline that was unthinkable just weeks ago. With 41 percent of precincts reporting, Huckabee led Romney by a 31 to 23 percent margin.
Obama was called the winner just before 9:30 p.m.
Truly this is a political election of change. People are tired of the status quo, and people have voted with change. Huckabee represents that change on the Right and Obama on the Left.
I look for this to be a very interesting race. I look forward to following it.
Of course, Romney remains optimistic:
"Congratulations for the first round to Mike," Romney said on Fox News just before 9 p.m. Romney said that despite the disappointing results, he still felt that he would ultimately "be the one with the nomination”
Translation: Congrads, But I’m still going to win! 
I have seen on MSNBC and I have read that turn out was doubled this time. Where there were like 80 people in a district in 2004. There were hundreds this time. This is good, it seems that the American people are interested in this Election. This is such a good thing.
I just look forward to the spin that Hillary and the other candidates that didn’t do so well, spin this to their advantage.
AP Declares Obama the Winner in Iowa.
Here comes a huge, multiday, international story which will be very, very hard to derail between now and Tuesday.
NBC News is also declaring him winner too.
NBC News is declaring Mike Huckabee Winner of the G.O.P. Winner
Politico says Romney is offering his congratulations to Huckabee.
On the Republican Side: Huckabee Leads over Romney.
On the other side of the political fence. The Polls show that Hackabee still has a lead of Mitt Romney.
Hackabee is at 32% and Romney is right behind at 26%.
The sick and sad part is, neither of these guys are even remotely true Conservatives. With Romney’s Flip-flopping, and Hackabee’s skeletons in his closet, his tax hikes. They’re both just Conservative in name and not in deed.
If I were voting Republican. The only person I would vote for, who I feel is even remotely qualified for the job and that is John McCain. He sits at 13%, and that my friends, is a shame, A damn shame.

New Iowa Poll: Obama pulls past Hillary Clinton
New poll numbers…….
New Iowa Poll: Obama widens lead over Clinton
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has widened his lead in Iowa over Hillary Clinton and John Edwards heading into Thursday’s nominating caucuses, according to The Des Moines Register’s final Iowa Poll before the 2008 nominating contests.
Obama’s rise is the result in part of a dramatic influx of first-time caucus-goers, including a sizable bloc of political independents. Both groups prefer the Illinois senator in what has been a very competitive campaign.
With Obama at 32% and Hillary at 25%, it is quite obvious, people want change and Obama offers that. Hillary is just a continuation of Bill Clinton. I believe people see that.
I’m not too concerned about his Religion. I could care less. This race is not about Religion, It is not about skin color, it is not about Islam vs Christianity. It is about who is the person that can lead this Country, who can steer this Country away from the idiot nonsense that the Bush Administration has created. It is about electing a President that can protect the American people, not with lies and fear mongering, like Rudy Giuliani. But rather with honesty and integrity. Something that has not been in the White House, or in Washington D.C. entirely for the last 6 years.
Let us hope that the caucus-goers choose the right person.

Chelsea Clinton…. A Crass B!tch, Just like Mom.
Heh. Runs in the Family.
My Way News – Chelsea Clinton Guards Her Words
It’s one thing for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign to turn down interview requests for the candidate’s daughter, Chelsea. But can’t a 9-year-old reporter catch a break?
Sydney Rieckhoff, a Cedar Rapids fourth grader and “kid reporter” for Scholastic News, has posed questions to seven Republican and Democratic presidential hopefuls as they’ve campaigned across Iowa this year. But when she approached the 27-year-old Chelsea after a campaign event Sunday, she got a different response.
“Do you think your dad would be a good ‘first man’ in the White House?” Sydney asked, but Chelsea brushed her question aside.
“I’m sorry, I don’t talk to the press and that applies to you, unfortunately. Even though I think you’re cute,” Chelsea told the pint-sized journalist.
Charming Young Lady.
I guess I’d be crabby too, if my Mom was a closet Lesbian. (Did I say that?

Edwards surges, Huckabee nosedives
McClatchy Washington Bureau | 12/30/2007 | Edwards surges, Huckabee’s bubble bursts
John Edwards has clawed his way into contention to win Iowa’s caucuses on Thursday in the first vote for the Democratic presidential nomination, gaining strength even as rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have lost ground, according to a new McClatchy-MSNBC poll.
I have an idea as to why Edwards has moved up. I believe people want change. Hillary, to some, does not represent change, but rather the continuing of the Clinton Administration. I don’t think America wants to see Clinton 2.0.
However, because I am fair, America also wants a President who is honest. Edwards speaks a Populist message, all the while living in a multi-million dollar mansion. This strikes me as being hypocritical.
However, in the scheme of things, Edwards is most likely seen as the lesser of two evils.
