Well I was wrong on just about everything except 1 big thing….Clinton finished last on the Democrat side. I did get that right!
Final Results from the Iowa Caucus:
Democrats
1. Obama 38%
2. Edwards 30%
3. Clinton 29%
Republican (86% in)
1. Huckabee 34%
2. Romney 25%
3. McCain 14%
4. Thompson 13%
5. Paul 10%
The biggest thing that stood out to me about Iowa was the uniform vote for change in America. Bottom line, Obama and Huckabee both are a core vote for change. Obama has always been about change, and Huckabee could not be anymore different than the current Republican regime. This was a horrible night for Hillary Clinton, and a really bad night for Mitt Romney. It will be very interesting to see the next few Caucuses. It “could” be a dangerous and slippery slope for Clinton and Romney.
The Money: (cash on hand)

In closing: Obama’s speech was amazing, almost a goose bump speech. Huckabee’s speech was really, really good. The next few weeks is going to be awesome…The race to Super Tuesday is on!
