I have to say nothing could have made me happier with regard to the Iowa caucus results. Obama winning Iowa with a large independent turnout. While I disdain most politicians, he’s got me hooked. I am even thinking of volunteering for his campaign. Might be tough being as lazy as I am.
Also I love the fact that Huckabee won. Not in the same way of course. When this guy stated he did not know that there was a picket line on The Tonight Show, he either demonstrated complete incompetence (seriously every article about the strike mentioned the writer’s agreement was just for Letterman’s production company and if he did not know it then his people should) or (and more likely) no regard for personal honesty and integrity. Bush fractured the party by mobilizing the evangelicals and until the Democrats can find some way to unite the Republicans against them, they’ll stay torn between extreme right-wing evangelicals and the fiscal conservatives. I don’t think America wants a Clergy in Chief, no matter how likable he seems. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
