I hate how hiliary is playing the woman card while obama is doing the right thing by not playing the race card. Hilary will do anything to win, she's always been hungry for power and thats not what this country needs right now.

I hear Edwards is done already? So Obama versus Hillary the rest of the way. Im feeling good.

Edwards put all of his hope into this state, and he needed to win it to have a chance. I think he'll stick around for a while, but I think you can officially say now that he doesn't have a chance.

the Republicans are crapping their drawers right now. No WAY they wanted Huckabee to win this. Check this out:

"Gloria Borger:

I spoke with a Republican strategist who is unaffiliated but is contact with every campaign and he's very upset about Huckabee's win. He said look, this is the right kind of state, the right kind of structure, large evangelical community. But this is a quote. He said, "This is the equivalent of Pat Robertson winning. The idea that Huckabee could mount a credible general election campaign is laughable."

Wow. They gots problems.

Shock, but I believe good news. If Obama also goes on and wins New Hampshire, then Hillary is likely done.

Too much baggage. Blew that 'America's Mayor' myth right out of the water.

I am happy that Huckabee won, but let's not forget about Guilani. If Romney had won he could have used that momentum and go into NH with a big boost. He would likely have won that state and took the momentum to Rudy's states, the Floridas and such. Romney is the one that lost big tonight, but he still has a chance, but Guilani still has to be the favorite IMO

Rudy knew he wasn't going to have a good showing in Iowa. Which is why he didn't campaign there. This is not a surprise that his showing is so bad. He's putting all his eggs in the Florida and Super Tuesday basket. Guilani is not done by any means.

I'm not sure how well Rudy's going to do. I know he's holding back to concentrate on the Super Tuesday states, but if he places like this in NH, he's in real trouble. And if Huck gets anywhere near winning NH, then everybody's in trouble.

What's that saying - 'Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd?'

It is funny to see all those Clinton haters unload on them. Should be interesting to see how Bil..err, I mean Hillary reacts tomorrow.

It's a calculated risk that Rudy has decided to make. It may backfire. It may not. But he had no intention of winning Iowa and he won't win New Hampshire. So he didn't focus his campaigning or his there. He has to hope that Huckabee doesn't win New Hampshire (McCain is the favorite right now) and take that momentum to South Carolina, Florida and Super Tuesday. He still has a decisive lead in Florida and the Super Tuesday states.

I don't mind Bill, but I HATE Hillary, ever since here carpet-bagger buttocks decided to park itself in NY state, to set up this run for president.

I will add that those who just hate the name of Clinton will have a life changing crisis if Hillary isn't the nominee, because that means they have to find other things to base their decisions around.

Fine but are we really talking about 1 delegate difference? I am just trying to understand. If that is so, why is this win then such a big deal?

OT: Obama wins the Iowa Caucus

Which democrat will win the Iowa Caucus?
