Wham bam thank you ma'am. Smoke from the Iowa caucus is still rolling around the New Hampshire woods. It's too close to the primary for any useful polling, so we won't know nothing until election night (Next Tuesday) I'd say Barack Obama's chances just got a whole lot better. Many NH democrats were for Hillary, not because they particularly liked her, but because they thought she was the party's best candidate against the Republicans. Some, perhaps many, of those Democrats can now vote for Obama, with a clear conscience. Obama is a stirring orator, young and good looking, is preaching a message of "lets get together and stop the backbiting" which is hard to argue against. Now it looks like he could win the general election. Why stick with Hillary?
Republicans up here are less than entranced with Huckabee. To many the Huck sounds like a hick, totally ignorant of foreign policy, too ready to raise taxes, and too preachy. I do not believe Huck's Iowa victory will carry much weight into New Hampshire. Up here McCain, Romney, and Thompson are all strong and any of the three could take the Republican primary. Guiliani hasn't campaigned much, where as McCain has, and his war record is appealing in a state full of veterans.
