Obama, Huckabee Win Iowa Presidential Caucuses

[Chancellor]

Quote by: The Decider New Hampshire has plenty of those. We'll see how Paul does tonight. How is he doing in South Carolina? So far, for all of Paul's internet fundraising and mass emails, he hasn't threatened any of the top-tier Republican candidates anywhere in the country.

New Hampshire may not have as many as you think. And even if there are, there is still the factor of a significant number of these sheeple voting based on who the media tells them has the best chance of winning. It is absolutely appalling that the media idiots were declaring a winner with less than 40 percent of the vote counted!

Giuliani does reasonably well in NH because of his connection to 9/11.

CNN says 443 of the 4,049 Democratic delegates have been assigned, Obama got 25 delegates in South Carolina and is well placed for 'supertuesday' but has only 152 delegates to Hillary's 230, Edwards trails with 60 and the rest have none. For the Republicans 148 of the 2,380 delegates have been assigned, McCain is in second place despite prevailing in South Carolina and picking up 19 more delegates for a total of 38, Romney has nearly twice as many with 73, Huckabee has 29, Ron Paul 6 and Giulianni just 2.

Latest surveys suggest it will be Hillary against McCain:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows a two-man race for the Republican Presidential Nomination. John McCain and Mitt Romney are tied for the lead at 27% and no one else is close. Mike Huckabee is eleven points back at 16%, Rudy Giuliani is at 14%, and Ron Paul is supported by 6% of likely Republican Primary voters. New polling data released today shows Romney with a 6 point lead over McCain in Florida. But, the survey was conducted just before Governor Charlie Crist endorsed McCain and nearly one-in-four likely voters still might change their mind. Looking ahead, McCain leads in New York, McCain and Giuliani are close in New Jersey, while McCain and Romney are close in California. Huckabee leads in Georgia, Huckabee and McCain are essentially tied in both Missouri and Alabama. The race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, has gotten much tighter. It’s now Hillary Clinton 40%, Barack Obama 31% and John Edwards 17%. In general election match-ups, Clinton and Obama both lead Romney, McCain, and Huckabee. Voters nationwide now agree that the economy is the top voting issue for Election 2008. But it means different things to Democrats than it does to Republicans. New data for the Democratic race in Florida shows Clinton still on top, but her lead is a bit smaller than earlier in the week. Dick Morris believes that Bill Clinton’s temper is starting to hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Exit polling data shows that may have been the case during Obama’s big win in South Carolina. Looking ahead on the Primary calendar, Obama leads in Georgia. However, Clinton leads Missouri, Alabama, California, New York, and New Jersey. Rasmussen Markets data gives Clinton a 62.3% chance of winning the Democratic nomination and Obama a 38.2% chance. On the Republican side, McCain is now given a 55.0% chance of winning the nomination. Mitt Romney is at 32.5% followed by Giuliani at 7.3% and Mike Huckabee at 2.8%.
