Well if you believe the polls, Hillary’s crying game won over NH women voters. It is not really a loss for Obama, he got the same number of delegates, but it stops his momentum and gives new life to Hllary’s campaign. Obama is still leading with one delegate if you look at the results in Iowa, Hillary did do as bad as the press would lead you to believe. I think it would have taken a 3rd place finish last night to knock Hillary out and I knew that wasn’t going to happen. I though John Edwards had the most game, I guess so did everyone else. It is a two person race, cause Edwards is gasping his last, he needs something big, and even then that probally wont be enough, and I don’t think pimpin’ Edwards will be nominated vice president.

Republicans, it was a good night for Huckabee and McCain. Huckabee picked up one delegate, and Mitt was not able to close the gap, and McCain has new life in his campaign. Both Mitt and McCain need a strong showing in super Tuesday, and a collapse for Huckabee, otherwise Huckabee will be the next president.

Where is Rudy? Oh, he is over there conceding before a projection was ever made. Rudy and Fred should get on a bus and head out of town, but they wont until after 02/05/08.

Iowa has spoken

Iowa has spoken and it seems they want change. I am surprised that not only Obama came out on top, but he did so clearly. Edwards is still in this thing too, and Clinton, what a bruise to her ego. I think the negative campaigning and the sleaziness has finally caught up with her. It will be interesting if the media decides to freeze her out like Giuliani. It has not bee a good month for Bill and Hillary. If she doesn’t recover in New Hampshire she may be done. Fred Thompson had a good night, he still is in it a little bit, beating out McCain. McCain will be stronger in New Hampshire, but the race will be Huckabee’s to loose. Romney is done. He had a huge hurdle to climb because of his beliefs, but the negative campaigning really hurt him. Negative campaigning usually makes the candidate look power hungry, and that is just was Mitt and Hillary are and the voters in Iowa saw that. If Mitt and Hillary don’t comeback in New Hampshire they will both be in trouble. Especially for Hillary if John Edwards gains ground. Where is Rudy? Even Ron Paul did better then him. I will just call him humpty dumpty..

This is truly the only time where the public gets feedback on a President, before the circus of a national election starts. To me, Iowa choosing Huck and Obama is a sign that America sees that it is getting screwed up and is looking for change. But, electing a Washington outsider is just a small step. Remember that Bush was an outsider too.

Where’s Rudy — Short Circuit 3

Tonight is the night of the Iowa Caucus. At the beginning of this race I thought that Giuliani looked the most presidential but now he is off the radar. Last night on ABC they only profiled the current big six. My guess is that since there are only 3 real democrat candidates they just balanced it off with 3 republicans, but the republican nomination is a mixed can of worms. Unfortunately, until John Edwards can prove otherwise, Hillary is the lead democrat. With the Republicans I will still go with Giuliani, but I am leaning towards Huckabee, because he does appear Clinton-esque. After the smoke of the Caucus fades tonight things may look a little clearer, but there will be allot of fog left.

As for the candidate I support, or who I think the Muslims should support… that is bigger then a post. Until I am able to write it, find my version of Presidential Products, and ask Weird Al to do an El DeBarge parody, “Where’s Rudy”…lol, that could be on the Halaal Mix Tape vol. 2.
